15.01.2024 | Efima’s financial management expertise received a rare recognition from Microsoft – the only domestic Finance Specialization partner

Financial management is a core process of a company, which is connected to all other activities, such as supply chain management, manufacturing and sales, and whose accumulated data is the basis for business forecasting and decision making. When renewing their core systems, companies benefit from partners who have not only strong ERP expertise but also the ability to help them build efficient financial organizations and develop automated and intelligent financial management processes – that is, to leverage the opportunities of modern technologies throughout the entire end-to-end process.

Microsoft annually awards specialization recognitions to partners who demonstrate exceptional ability to modernize and develop their customers’ business processes with Microsoft technologies. Efima, a digital company specializing in ERP, financial management and intelligent automation solutions, achieved the financial management specialization recognition in the fall of 2023 and is currently the only domestic partner with the recognition. The Finance Specialization status requires that the Microsoft partner meets strict criteria related to, among other things, technical expertise, business growth and expert certifications. In addition, the partner must implement enough successful and extensive Dynamics 365 Finance deployment projects for its customers.

Efima has helped many well-known Finnish companies, such as Sanoma, YIT and Kamux, to move their financial management and business processes to Microsoft’s intelligent cloud. Efima also ensures that customers stay up to date with the development of cloud services and get the best possible support for their use. 

Efima’s Offering Lead Vesa-Pekka Laakso is proud of the recognition and its significance for Efima and its customers:

"Cloud technologies are constantly creating new opportunities for business and financial management, and as a partner we want to be pioneers in leveraging them and keeping our customers at the forefront of development. The recognition strengthens our position as Finland’s leading Dynamics 365 Finance partner and gives us even better conditions to leverage Microsoft’s resources and support our customers’ success."

Mika Pitkänen, Director of Enterprise Sales for Microsoft’s Business Applications, congratulates Efima on the recognition and emphasizes its importance for Microsoft’s partnership strategy:

“Microsoft’s goal is to help our customers in digital transformation and provide them with the best solutions to grow their business and improve their competitiveness. The Dynamics 365 platform offers an excellent opportunity for customers to modernize their business application landscape, ensure business continuity, and create efficiency and cost savings by consolidating their applications on one platform and leveraging, for example, the platform’s GenAI Copilots in their processes. Successful projects for customers require that we have partners who can meet our customers’ high demands and specific needs. Efima has proven to be such a partner in the field of Dynamics 365 and financial management.”
