Migrate from Dynamics NAV to Dynamics 365 Business Central
Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) is Microsoft’s cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for small to medium-sized businesses which is the next generation of Dynamics NAV. If you are on Dynamics NAV and are looking for a modern solution with familiar functionalities, Business Central is the obvious choice. Migrate Dynamics NAV to Business Central, a comprehensive business management solution that enables users to run their entire business on the cloud.
Why migrate to Business Central from Dynamics NAV?
Microsoft discontinued Dynamics NAV and replaced it with Dynamics 365 Business Central. Dynamics NAV no longer receives updates and hotfixes from Microsoft which means that NAV will gradually become outdated, reliant on old technology, and harder to use. Dynamics NAV users can migrate to Business Central, a powerful cloud solution that offers the same standard functionality in a more user-friendly way. With Business Central you can access regular updates with new capabilities as well as its modern user experience, powerful integrations, and AI capabilities. Business Central is licensed on a software as a service (SaaS) model meaning users pay a monthly subscription license with no up-front costs for hardware or servers. Hosted in the Azure Cloud, Microsoft automatically pushes out enhancements, new features, bug fixes, and updates so you’re always on the latest technology.
Rand Group is your partner to help you evaluate if Business Central will meet your current and future needs and perform the migration from Dynamics NAV with any customizations and integrations as needed. With Rand Group as your migration partner, you can confidently move to the cloud with the operational speed, performance, and insights needed to make your business vision a reality.
