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.

A free compatibility check tells you exactly what to expect.
