1ClickFactory and QBS Group Merge to Form Companial, an International Network of Microsoft Dynamics Partners

1ClickFactory and QBS Group merge to provide additional service offerings to customers as it becomes Companial, the largest and fastest-growing international network of Microsoft Dynamics Partners.

Leusden, The Netherlands, Vilinus, Lithuania, Feb. 2, 2022 – 1ClickFactory, based in Vilnius, Lithuania and QBS Group, headquartered in Leusden, the Netherlands, announced today, February 2^nd, 2022, that the companies are merging to form a new company named Companial.

1ClickFacory and QBS Group are well known in the Microsoft Business Application area, providing services and licenses to Microsoft Dynamics Partners. When 1ClickFactory and QBS Group began its strategic partnership in 2017, it quickly became obvious that both companies’ offerings around technical services, enablement, license operation, support for Independent software vendors (ISV), marketing services and Dynamics Partner engagement were very complementary, all focused on Microsoft Dynamics and Power Platform. Companial comes to market with a clear vision to become the preferred community for every Dynamics professional.

1ClickFactory is a Microsoft ISV Development Center and Gold Certified in Enterprise Resource Planning, Application Development and Cloud Platform. As a global business, it delivers services to 300+ Dynamics Partners in 40+ countries. 1ClickFactory’s high-quality Microsoft Dynamics 365 upgrade, development, and training services, together with its leading Microsoft Azure managed hosting service, help Microsoft Partners offer better business value to customers, delivering solutions on-premises and/or in the cloud.

“I am very excited to join forces and offer a One-Stop-Shop for every Dynamics Professional with Companial. Our clear mission is to exceed expectations by putting our Microsoft Partners at the center of all our efforts, offering outstanding services, developing and supporting Dynamics Partners on their (cloud) journey, and empowering them in all aspects of their business. The central word in our vision is “community”. We do everything to make the community work and to inspire those in it.

Companial promises that it’s easy to do business with us, that we offer a high-quality portfolio of services supporting all Dynamics workloads, and that we provide our Dynamics Partners with appealing offers!

We are dedicated to the success of our Dynamics Partners, and above all we prioritize personal relationships and a personal touch for the good of our community,”
Louis Rustenhoven, Chief Executive Officer, Companial.

QBS Group is the largest Dynamics ecosystem, second only to Microsoft itself. Situated in over 25 countries worldwide, with over 800 Partners that manage more than 40,000 customers, QBS Group was one of the only Dynamics-focused indirect Cloud Solution Providers. With its expertise and personal contact, QBS Group has helped Dynamics Partners transition to the cloud and supported them in driving the digital transformation. Microsoft has recently recognized QBS Group with the Inner Circle Award for Microsoft Business Applications 2021/22, the 8^th year in a row QBS Group has received this honor.

“Seeing Dynamics Partners in our ecosystem scale is the number one thing for growth. We recognize that our Microsoft Partners are the wakeboard, and we want Microsoft Partners to be as efficient, capable, and notable as possible. We have had such great experiences with QBS and 1ClickFactory in the past and we are confident that this combination is really going to enable Companial to bring on more customers, do a better job, have a higher level of customer satisfaction, and have a great relationship with Microsoft. A win-win-win situation for everyone!”
Mike Morton, General Manager Business Central, Microsoft.

While the launch of Companial will have no impact on existing relationships and contracts that Dynamics Partners have with 1ClickFactory or QBS Group, Dynamics Partners can expect additional services and offerings that will help them to either establish a Microsoft Dynamics practice or evolve an existing business to enable digital transformation and better satisfy customers. One example is the newly announced partnership with Plataan, one of the leading training providers for Microsoft Dynamics and Power Platform. This partnership will result in a full set of trainings and enablement tools that will be offered under the Companial brand to Dynamics Partners worldwide.

“I am happy to share my thoughts about the integration that is now happening between QBS and 1ClickFactory. We are excited and we think it’s a great move. Collectively, as a community, we have an enormous amount of work to do to take Dynamics customers forward to a bright Dynamics 365 cloud future. And only collectively do we have the resources to make that happen in any kind of sensitive timeframe. We are already enjoying working with your team to move our customers forward and we hope to do much more of that in the future and having a single throat to choke. We look forward to working with you”
Paul White, Chief Executive Officer at The NAV | 365 People

Strategic Partnership QBS Group and 1Clickfactory with Plataan

Plataan, based in Hasselt, Belgium and QBS Group, headquartered in Leusden, The Netherlands announced today that they will join forces moving forward. As of January 2022, QBS Group has acquired a shareholder majority of Plataan.

This transaction is an important step in the strategy of QBS Group to enhance the portfolio of partner growth services delivered to the worldwide Dynamics partner channel. It perfectly fits in the vision of the group to be the most preferred community and center of expertise for every Dynamics professional in the world.

In 2021 Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) SaaS growth figures showed that it is now imperative that Dynamics partners become proficient in the relevant Dynamics 365 Business Central competencies, skills and knowledge. The tremendous growth of Business Central SaaS is also reflected in the accelerated intake and number of certifications of new Business Central professionals in the “Business Central Booster” Training Program delivered by Plataan. This program is a virtual online program designed to learn through practical, hands-on exercises whilst being guided by an experienced certified trainer. Apart from the Booster programs for Dynamics Business Central, Plataan is offering training courses for Microsoft’s Power Platform, Office 365 and the Customer Engagement workloads.

With this important strategic announcement, QBS Group and Plataan move into a league of their own when it comes to training capabilities, capacity and coverage to serve the Dynamics partner channel:

We consider Plataan as a leading strategic training partner for our community of current and future Dynamics partners. The ambition of Plataan to build all-inclusive online competency programs for Dynamics partners perfectly fits with our unique set of technical services covering Business Central, F&O, PowerApps and Customer Engagement and our expertise in Traditional and CSP (Cloud) licensing. We’re all looking forward to a great collaboration with multiple benefits for our partner community!
^{Louis Rustenhoven, CEO QBS Group & 1ClickFactory}

Both companies are true partner focused organisations. Both have a ‘Microsoft Dynamics only’ strategy. No other Value-Added Distributor in the worldwide Microsoft channel can claim this. Our (digital) training offerings and capabilities combined with the sales & marketing and deep technical skills of QBS Group & 1ClickFactory together plus their wide international distribution network create a great fit! The Dynamics partner community can expect from us more attractive training offerings, including offerings around the domain of D365 Finance & Supply Chain and Power Platform.
^{Vincent Bellefroid, Partner Plataan}

White Paper – Microsoft Dynamics 365 the perfect platform for digital transformation in the mid-market

6 marzo 2019/en Info Centre Dynamics 365, Strategic /por Sander

At QBS group we’re all about Dynamics partners – to the extent that we call ourselves “Dynamics partner fanatics”. We constantly look for new innovative ways in which we can assist our partner community with ways to grow their business – no matter what their Dynamics strategy is. There’s no doubt in our minds that Dynamics 365 offers a lot of advantages both to new partners but especially to the existing Dynamics partner community – which the most recent white paper from us focuses on. Enjoy the reading!

Abstract of white paper:

“We are approaching one of the great infliction points in time where information technology-based solutions have matured to a level where they can deliver new and compelling value to meet recognized needs of mid-market companies.

The steadily falling prices on computer capacity, the accumulated investments in standard software products and the introduction of the cloud-based as-a-service delivery format have made advanced information technology available to the mid-market. Under the headline digital transformation these advanced technologies have the potential to dramatically increase the productivity of mid-market enterprises, while the steady expansion of the world wide web (51.5 per cent of the global population or 3.2 billion people) has enabled them to expand and grow beyond their domestic territories.

Despite the increased availability of advanced software tools, the declining prices and the improved user-friendliness, digital transformation remains an ongoing activity that requires support from specialists that the typical mid-market enterprise cannot attract and justify on her payroll. This whitepaper explains that exactly this intersection of technology and needs represents a yet untapped business potential for entrepreneurs that can translate software technologies into a tangible business advantage and that Microsoft Dynamics 365 is the perfect platform for executing such an ambition.”

The evolution of Dynamics 365 opens the door for new opportunities

12 febrero 2018/en Dynamics 365, QBS group /por Sander

The 2018 edition of eXtreme365 EMEA is expected to be an interesting edition.
Today, the world of a Dynamics CRM partner is changing faster than ever before. Being a Dynamics CRM partner today is like dancing on a volcano – far from boring! And the recent announcements around the Dynamics 365 solution makes this effect even stronger!

The EMEA edition picked Dubrovnik, Croatia as their 2018 location. It will be organized from March 19^th till 21^st for the partner event and on March 21^st and 22^nd for end-users. This last part is organised for the second time and anticipates to fill the gap that has emerged after Microsoft stopped with Convergence.

Due to the release of Dynamics 365 last year, the eXtreme organization decided to change the name of the event from ‘eXtreme CRM’ into ‘eXtreme365’

Attending partners
The expectation is that around 600-800 people from Dynamics 365 partners will attend eXtreme365 EMEA in Dubrovnik.

Important news from Directions US 2017

20 septiembre 2017/en Info Centre /por draad

QBS Partners are the best informed partners. As this is the mantra we live by, we are sharing the latest news on Dynamics NAV via this article. This week the first of the two Directions conferences is taking place in Florida. Some important news was shared which is crucial for your business planning for 2018. Although most of this news is very fresh, not fully detailed and will be repeated at Directions EMEA in Madrid, we would like to share what we know right now.

Dynamics 365 “TENERIFE” will offer full NAV functionality

The current versions of D365 Finance and Operations BE, avaliable in UK, US and CA offers limited functionality. This product was scheduled to become avaliable in other countries in Q4 2017. At Directions US it was announced that the new product, code name “TENERIFE” will have full functionality, giving customers the ultimate decision power to go for any configuration (OnPremise, Hybrid, SaaS or Multi Tenant hosting). For customers requiring less functionality, Office 365 Business Center will be the place to start. With this news it looks like the rigid division between Business Edition and Enterprise Edition is a blast from the past. This news proofs the full and continued focus of Microsoft on offering a great cloud product for the SMB with the same code base and functionality provided by Dynamics NAV. It is expexted that this product will launch in the spring of 2018

Extensions will be be optional

This new product “TENERIFE” will offer more possibilities to enhance the solution without the eminent need of extension. Although extensions will be by far the BEST option (in terms of upgradebilty, scalability and technical support), there will be options to leverage on the investment done in the current verticals build on older techniques

Although many more news was shared, these are the most important messages for now. During the coming QBS Share Events we will share with you more details and indepth insights on these subjects. The connections we have with Microsoft via Inner Circle (amongs others) will be used to keep you updated and gives you early on the possibility to adapt to this news.

Una mirada atrás en Inspire

31 julio 2017/en /por draad

Con más de 16.000 asistentes, la conferencia de partners de Microsoft, ahora denominada Inspire, fue el evento más importante para el canal Microsoft.

Además de muchos anuncios relacionados con los productos, el tema predominante en esta conferencia fue la reorganización del equipo comercial de Microsoft. En pocas palabras, Microsoft está organizando su fuerza de ventas entorno a seis sectores clave y fortalece la responsabilidad de sus consultores y responsables comerciales. Posteriormente, un nuevo segmento de clientes que abarca desde pequeñas empresas hasta cuentas corporativas. Pero lo más importante, Microsoft crea una nueva organización de partners, One Commercial Partner (OCP). No sólo reúne diversos recursos para partners en un solo equipo, sino que también organiza recursos orientados a la consecución de los objetivos que Microsoft y sus partners desean lograr. Estos equipos se concentran en desarrollar nuevas capacidades que son los denominados “Build with” y están integrados principalmente por Partner Development Managers y Partner Technology Strategist. O bien se orientan en lanzar nuevos productos y servicios al mercado, estos son los equipos “Go-to-Market” donde encontraremos los Partner Marketing Managers o, finalmente, para vender conjuntamente y aumentar el éxito entre los clientes están los Channel Managers que forman los equipos de “Sell with”.

Durante los últimos 2 años hemos observado cómo Dynamics se integra cada vez más en el objetivo comercial de Microsoft. Con esta nueva estructura organizativa, cualquiera de los recursos dedicados de Dynamics ha desaparecido y se ha convertido en parte de la organización One Commercial Partner, ocupándose también de las 3 propuestas de Microsoft Cloud – Productividad, Business y Datos Cloud. A simple vista, esta situación presenta desafíos y oportunidades al mismo tiempo. Aunque resultaría más fácil contar un soporte directo para Dynamics, ahora forma parte de la organización de una forma más profunda y la estrategia de aproximación al mercado (Go-to-Market) será más activa para acelerar nuevas oportunidades de negocio. Además, los recursos de apoyo a partners que no estarán únicamente enfocados en la pipeline de ventas, sino más bien en los productos y servicios que ofrecemos en nuestro mercado.

A nivel individual, resultará aún más difícil encontrar la persona adecuada dentro de Microsoft para apoyarte en tus retos y oportunidades con Microsoft Dynamics. La buena noticia es que QBS fue galardonado con el “Inner Circle”

de Microsoft Dynamics por cuarta vez consecutiva. Estamos entre el 1% de los partners de Dynamics que tienen acceso de forma directa a la estrategia de Microsoft y puedes estar seguro de que utilizaremos este privilegio para representar las necesidades de nuestros más de 400 partners. A cambio, compartiremos contigo las últimas innovaciones y lo más relevante de la estrategia de Microsoft, por lo que cumplimos con nuestra promesa:

“Los partners de QBS son los mejor informados dentro de la comunidad de partners de Microsoft Dynamics”

Desde el punto de vista del producto, el concepto de la democratización de la inteligencia artificial (IA) es un punto fuerte. Y Dynamics 365 Business Edition favorece el desarrollo de IA y aprendizaje automático (‘Machine Learning’) que pocos años atrás era accesible únicamente para grandes inversiones dentro del espectro empresarial. No sólo te proporciona una oportunidad única para diferenciar tu negocio, sino que también dará un fuerte impulso comercial a tus clientes.

Como puedes ver, en Microsoft están sucediendo un montón de cambios que, sin duda, impactarán en nuestro trabajo. Te sugiero que actualices o crees tu propia agenda para Dynamics 365. Es fácil perderse con tantas oportunidades y dependencias. Tal como dice el autor estadounidense Brian Tracy: Las metas le permiten controlar la dirección del cambio a su favor. Así que nos encantaría tener ese diálogo en torno a tus objetivos en una de nuestras próximas reuniones, ya sea con uno de los miembros de nuestro equipo en tu país, o bien, en Directions en Madrid, nuestros QBShare en otoño, o simplemente, puedes contactar directamente conmigo en mhartmann@qbsgroup.com

Hasta entonces, espero que todos disfrutéis del verano y que encuentres el tiempo para relajarte y recargar las pilas.
