FOR PEGASUS OPERA 3 USERS
Opera 3 vs Business Central
Your ERP is working. The question is whether it’s working hard enough.
Most businesses running Pegasus Opera 3 have found ways to make it work. Exports to Excel. Data entered twice. Reports that take days to pull together. Workarounds become habits, and habits stop feeling like problems.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
What Opera 3 customers are dealing with every week
These are not edge cases. They are the consistent patterns we see across every Opera 3 business we speak to.
Month-end close takes three to five days
Not because the team is slow, but because pulling the numbers together requires too many manual steps.
Invoices are entered manually
Someone is typing data that already exists in a PDF or email, every single day.
Nothing talks to anything else
Your accounts software runs separately from everything else. No link to Outlook, Teams or Excel without exporting first.
Reporting lives in Excel
The system can’t produce what you actually need without exporting first.

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE: AUTOMATED
What if your invoices processed themselves?
Continia Document Capture is a Business Central add-on that automates the entire AP process and is typically the biggest time-saver for Opera 3 migrations in the first 90 days.
What Continia eliminates:
- Manual invoice data entry: Continia reads the invoice, extracts the data, and codes it to the right account.
- Approval email chains: Invoices are routed to the right person digitally, with a full audit trail.
- Lost or delayed invoices: Every document is captured, stored, and searchable from day one.
- Duplicate payments: The system cross-references automatically.
A finance team processing 200 invoices per month typically saves 15–20 hours per month with Continia. That’s before any other efficiency gains from Business Central itself.
WHY BUSINESS CENTRAL
What you actually get with BC
The things people ask us before they move
No. Monpellier manages the full data migration. Your history, transactions, and records all transfer cleanly to BC before anything goes live.
Less than you’d expect. We plan the migration around your business, not the other way around. Most businesses are fully operational within days, not weeks.
Every migration is scoped properly before any costs are agreed. No surprises, no scope creep. We’ll give you a clear picture on the discovery call.
That’s exactly the right question, and one we can answer honestly on a call. If BC isn’t the right fit for your business, we’ll tell you. We’d rather have that conversation upfront.

A live walkthrough built around a business your size. No slides, no generic demo. Just BC running the way it would for you.
