Navision Migration

It depends on your version. NAV 2016 extended support ends April 2026, NAV 2017 in January 2027, and NAV 2018 in January 2028. Older versions are already out of support entirely. Business Central cloud is the strategic, long-term path.

If you hold a perpetual Dynamics NAV or BC on-premises license purchased before September 1, 2024, you may qualify for Microsoft's Bridge to Cloud 3 promotion — a 30% discount on Dynamics 365 cloud licenses for three years. You also get dual access rights: keep running on-premises while migrating to SaaS.

No. We analyze your existing customizations and re-implement the ones you still need as standard AL extensions or AppSource apps. Many legacy customizations can be replaced by standard BC features, reducing complexity.

A typical NAV-to-BC migration takes 4–12 weeks depending on data volume, number of customizations, and integrations. Simple migrations with clean data can be faster; complex multi-company setups take longer.

We migrate your full transaction history — general ledger entries, customer/vendor ledgers, item entries, and posted documents. Your reporting continuity is preserved from day one on Business Central.

Staying on NAV means ongoing server costs, manual upgrades, and no access to AI features. Migration to BC cloud eliminates infrastructure costs (typically 14% lower TCO) and gives you automatic updates, Copilot, and AppSource apps.

No. If you have an active monthly subscription for Dynamics NAV or Business Central on-premises, you are already entitled to the latest version. You just need a migration project and a partner transfer. Contact us for a quote.

Not in one step. Microsoft requires an intermediate upgrade to Business Central on-premises (v14) first, then migration to Business Central online. We handle both phases as a single project — you only experience one go-live.

Business Central is a cloud subscription, so you eliminate server hardware, maintenance, upgrade, and replacement costs. In most cases, total cost of ownership is lower than NAV. Microsoft provides a TCO calculator to compare your specific scenario.

Yes, but differently. Business Central uses an extensions model (AL language) instead of direct code modification. Customizations are built as apps that install on top of standard code. This means automatic updates from Microsoft no longer break your modifications.

No. Business Central is sold exclusively through Microsoft partners in the CSP program. As your partner, we handle licensing, provisioning, and billing — and we pass Microsoft's list pricing (MRLP) directly to you.

Your data is stored in Microsoft Azure data centers in the same country or nearest geographic region. For Luxembourg customers, data resides in EU data centers. Microsoft guarantees 99.9% SLA, invests over $1B/year in cloud security, and employs 3,500+ security experts.

No, it's not mandatory — but it's strongly recommended. Microsoft will end extended support for the last NAV version (2018) in January 2028. After that, no security patches, regulatory updates, or hotfixes. Business Central cloud is the only path forward with continuous updates and AI features.
