== Bringing it all together ==
The out-of-the-box integration between Business Central and Dataverse is gradually improving. Still, many customers prefer to supplement or replace it with a custom solution. What are some things to keep in mind?
* Licensing - Make sure that you have all the necessary Microsoft licenses. Many integration scenarios require premium licenses.
* Prepare for sync issues - Sooner or later, data will get out of sync. Plan ahead and prepare user-friendly and reliable tools and processes that business users can use even without technical knowledge. On Resco side, we got you covered.
* Standard or small - Standard scenarios involving field service or field sales generally work satisfactorily out-of-the-box. If you are working on a custom scenario, consider starting small so that the complexity doesn't overwhelm you.
* Competent partner - ERPs are complex systems. Bring in a partner with integration expertise.
* Ultimately, each project is different. Select the appropriate integration strategy. Duplicating the data might require re-implementing complex business logic in Dataverse (and possibly Resco Mobile CRM). Virtual tables bring their own set of limitations.
== Common scenarios ==
What are some of the common scenarios involving Resco?
* Use Resco's flexible platform to design a custom feature. For example, travel expenses management; with Resco as the mobile client for tracking expenses, scanning receipts, and uploading them to the back office for further processing.
* Use some of Resco's popular features, such as digital forms (Resco Inspections) or timesheet management.
* Use Resco as the mobile client for Dynamics Sales or Field Service.
