Migrate from Dynamics SL to Business Central to accelerate growth
Dynamics 365 Business Central is Microsoft’s next-generation ERP solution, positioned as the successor to mid-market legacy Dynamics applications like Dynamics SL. Operating on the cloud, it delivers unparalleled agility and scalability, offering a unified platform for finance, sales, service, and operations. This facilitates seamless adaptation and growth for organizations. Rand Group has a proven methodology to help our clients migrate from Microsoft Dynamics SL to Business Central.
Why migrate from Dynamics SL to Business Central?
Microsoft’s decision to sunset Dynamics SL marks a shift towards modern solutions like Business Central. Operating in Extended Support mode, Dynamics SL receives only security-related updates, leaving organizations without access to feature enhancements and diminishing support over time. Many Dynamics SL clients see Business Central as the natural progression towards a more agile and future-proof ERP solution, drawn to its modern user experience, integration capabilities, and advanced features, such as AI-driven insights. Additionally, Business Central’s Software as a Service (SaaS) model eliminates upfront hardware costs, with Microsoft providing automatic updates, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
As your migration partner, Rand Group helps evaluate if Business Central aligns with your current and future needs, facilitating the migration from Dynamics SL, including any necessary customizations and integrations. With Rand Group, confidently transition to the cloud, equipped with the operational speed, performance, and insights to realize your business vision.
