Beginning with a Proof of Value (PoV) instead of a Request for Information (RFI) or Request for Proposal (RFP) has several advantages, especially when selecting a new ERP system such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/dynamics-365\/products\/business-central.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central<\/a>.
