Business Central / Upgrade from NAV to BC
The Direct Upgrade

NAV became Business Central. This upgrade is closer than you'd think.

Business Central is built on the same foundation as NAV — so more of what your team already knows carries forward than in almost any other ERP migration.

Set expectations right

What stays familiar, and what actually changes

Stays the same

Core data structure

Customers, vendors, items and chart of accounts map almost directly.

AL / extension logic

Modern NAV customizations built on extensions carry forward with minimal rework.

General navigation feel

Role centers and list views will feel immediately familiar to your team.

What's new
+

Cloud-first hosting

Runs as SaaS by default — no more on-premise server maintenance.

+

Native Power Platform

Power BI, Power Automate and Power Apps connect without middleware.

+

Continuous updates

Two automatic feature updates a year instead of major version projects.

The process

A shorter path than most ERP migrations

1

Compatibility Check

We assess your NAV version, customizations and integrations.

2

Re-platform & Migrate

Extensions rebuilt where needed, data migrated and validated.

3

Go-Live

Typically 6–8 weeks from kickoff for a standard NAV environment.

Not sure how old your NAV version is?

Newer NAV versions (2016 and later) migrate the most directly. Older versions may need an interim step — we'll tell you exactly which during the compatibility check, at no cost.

Running Dynamics NAV? This is usually the shortest path forward.
