Case Study: Port of Anacortes achieves improved productivity and remote work capability with Velosio's Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Port of Anacortes Sets Sail to Improved Productivity with Cloud Upgrade

Port of Anacortes, the municipal port authority in Anacortes, WA, was struggling with an aging, on‑premises Microsoft Dynamics SL system that frequently crashed, had a clunky interface, and impeded remote work. To modernize its finance operations the Port selected Velosio to migrate them to cloud‑based Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Velosio implemented Dynamics 365 Business Central in the cloud, replacing Dynamics SL and delivering a more reliable, user‑friendly solution that enabled true self‑service access to information. The upgrade eliminated slow VPN bottlenecks and allowed the accounting team to work efficiently from home during the COVID‑19 shutdown, proved cost‑effective for the small staff, and provided faster, more responsive support from Velosio compared with the prior partner.
