From Mid-Market to Enterprise: How a Partner Scaled Business Central to Over 2,000 Users in Energy and Mining
MontrealApril 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Verosoft, a provider of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solutions deeply embedded in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, today announced that its Microsoft partner PASI has won a project with Semirara Mining and Power Corporation (SMPC) by extending Business Central with The Asset Guardian (TAG) Mobi EAM. This demonstrates that Business Central can be adapted to enterprise-scale asset-intensive scenarios, which were previously handled by large ERP and EAM platforms.

The project initially started with a pilot of about 50 users, building asset structures and streamlining maintenance processes, before expanding to over 2,000 users on TAG Mobi and Business Central, creating a replicable deployment model for partners serving the energy, mining, and other industrial sectors, with plans for further rollout across SMPC’s entire operations.
Rene Santos, President and CEO of PASI, said: “Business Central gave us a solid ERP foundation, but by extending it with TAG Mobi EAM, we were able to seize opportunities we could never have pursued before. It changed the scale and type of customers we can actually support, moving from mid-market projects to enterprise-level deployments.“
Why This Project Matters for Microsoft Partners
This project proves how Microsoft partners can push the boundaries of Business Central with industry-specific solutions to meet the enterprise and asset-intensive needs of sectors like energy and mining—areas historically dominated by large ERP and EAM platforms.
By integrating TAG Mobi EAM, PASI achieved the following breakthroughs:
- Meeting enterprise-scale energy and mining maintenance requirements
- Implementing EAM within the Microsoft ecosystem
- Breaking the limitation of Business Central as a mid-market ERP solution
- Establishing a reusable methodology for complex industrial deployments
- Entering high-end industry markets previously considered out of reach for Business Central
Customer and Operational Context
SMPC is a vertically integrated energy and mining company operating an open-pit coal mine on Semirara Island and a coal-fired power plant in Calaca, Batangas, Philippines. With operations spanning mining, power generation, transportation, and infrastructure, SMPC needed a scalable ERP-EAM platform capable of supporting maintenance execution and asset management in remote and operationally complex environments, while maintaining a core architecture based on a single Microsoft system.
Challenge: Modernizing Maintenance Operations
SMPC was modernizing its maintenance operations to support future expansion. Legacy systems required extensive customization and offered weak support for asset hierarchy structures, posing challenges for standardizing preventive maintenance across the entire mining fleet, power plant, and marine assets. Corporate leadership also demanded a shift from paper-based processes to a cloud-first, standardized platform that could scale from pilot to widespread adoption while maintaining access control, audit trails, and system performance.
“From the start, SMPC needed a full enterprise asset management platform, not a lightweight CMMS,” Santos added.
Delivered Solution: Business Central + TAG Mobi EAM
PASI delivered a Microsoft-based solution combining Business Central with TAG Mobi EAM. The deployment included solutions for the mine site and power plant, with modules supporting health and safety workflows, advanced resource management, fleet maintenance, and complex asset hierarchies, while keeping all core ERP data, financial data, and master records in Business Central. Implementation began in December 2025, supported by on-site collaboration between PASI and Verosoft experts.
Results
This deployment helped SMPC achieve its maintenance and asset management goals across various operations, including:
- Improved preventive maintenance for mining, power generation, distribution, and marine operations
- Enhanced visibility into asset lifecycle costs from acquisition to maintenance and retirement
- Full deployment from pilot to all extraction sites and power plants in just five months
- Completion of the second deployment phase within one month through joint efforts by PASI and Verosoft
- Expanded capability coverage for fleet and vessels
Santos: “Our role was to act as consultants. We first assessed the customer’s operational status, then tailored a solution with Business Central at its core. TAG Mobi EAM allowed us to deliver enterprise asset management capabilities without excessive customization, while staying aligned with Microsoft product architecture standards.”
This project, scaling from an initial pilot of about 50 users to over 2,000 users, marks a significant milestone for the Business Central ecosystem in the energy and mining sectors.
