Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Still running Dynamics NAV?
You're not alone, and you're not out of options

Many companies still rely on Microsoft Dynamics NAV to support their daily operations. While Microsoft has ended support for some NAV versions, others remain supported for the time being. This gives you the opportunity to plan your next steps carefully instead of rushing into an ERP decision.

Keep your Dynamics NAV environment productive, secure, and aligned with your business goals.

Moving to a new generation of ERP solutions is a significant step. It often involves redesigning processes, rebuilding customizations, extensive testing, and considerable investment. We understand these challenges. While you prepare your organization for the future, we help you get the most value from your existing Dynamics NAV environment.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

Choose the path that fits your business

Understand your Dynamics NAV options

If you are running Dynamics NAV 2016, NAV 2017, or NAV 2018, you still have time to prepare for your next ERP investment. Earlier versions, including NAV 2009, NAV 2013, and NAV 2015, are no longer supported by Microsoft, which can introduce operational, security, and compliance risks for your business.

You do not need to make an immediate ERP decision. You need a plan that works for your business. No matter where you are in your ERP journey, we can help you:

  • Support and optimize your current NAV environment
  • Reduce operational and technical risk
  • Build a realistic modernization roadmap
  • Plan a phased transition strategy
  • Upgrade to Dynamics 365 Business Central when the timing is right.
You have options. Choose the path that fits your business.

1. Continue running NAV with strategic support

Optimize and support your existing NAV environment while preparing gradually for the future. We can help you get the more value from your current platform.

Keep your NAV solution stable and supported

We help extend the life of your ERP system through application support, performance optimization, system integrations, modern reporting capabilities, infrastructure advisory services.

Reduce operational risk

Older ERP systems can continue to perform reliably when properly maintained. We help identify and address security concerns, unsupported dependencies, integration bottlenecks, upgrade blockers and technical debt.

Improve user experience without full replacement

A full ERP replacement is not always the right first step.

We can modernize selected processes, interfaces, and reporting capabilities while your core ERP system remains in place.

2. Modernize in phases

Many organizations are not ready or willing to replace their ERP system all at once. A phased approach allows you to modernize your business step by step while maintaining day to day operations. We help you identify the areas where modernization delivers the greatest business value and the lowest risk. This allows you to introduce new capabilities while continuing to rely on your existing Dynamics NAV environment.
You can introduce new technologies and business applications without replacing your core ERP immediately. Examples include business intelligence and analytics, workflow automation, customer relationship management, e-commerce integrations, modern reporting and dashboards.

Reduce project complexity

Large ERP replacement projects can place significant pressure on resources and budgets. A phased approach helps spread investments over time and gives users more opportunity to adapt to change.

Build a roadmap based on business priorities

Every organization has different goals, challenges, and timelines. We work with you to create a practical modernization roadmap that supports your business strategy while minimizing disruption.

3. Prepare for cloud transformation

Moving to the cloud is not simply a technology project. It is a business decision that affects processes, users, data, and future growth opportunities. When the time is right, we help you transition from Dynamics NAV to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with a clear strategy and realistic plan. 

Assess your current environment

Before making any decisions, we help you understand your current NAV landscape, including customizations, integrations, business processes, and technical dependencies.

Create a clear migration strategy

Every organization starts from a different position. We help define the right migration path, whether that means a direct upgrade, a phased transition, or a hybrid approach.

Prepare your users for success

Successful ERP projects depend on people as much as technology. We support change management, training, and communication activities to help users adopt new ways of working.

Build a future ready ERP platform

Dynamics 365 Business Central gives you access to cloud se rvices, continuous innovation, enhanced security, and closer integration with Microsoft technologies such as Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and AI powe red capabilities.

Top five reasons for upgrading from NAV to Business Central

 The ERP system Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is the successor to Dynamics NAV. Microsoft has rebranded and evolved Dynamics NAV into Dynamics 365 Business Central as part of its broader strategy to integrate various business applications under the Dynamics 365 umbrella. Here are the benefits for you:  

  1. Cloud Integration: Dynamics 365 Business Central is designed as a cloud-first solution, allowing users to access their business data and applications from anywhere. It aligns with Microsoft's broader focus on cloud-based services and provides users with the flexibility of cloud deployment. 
  2. Unified platform: Microsoft's vision for Dynamics 365 is to create a unified platform that combines ERP and CRM capabilities. Business Central is part of this integrated approach, enabling businesses to manage both their financials and customer relationships on a single platform. 
  3. Updates and enhancements: Dynamics 365 Business Central receives regular updates and enhancements, benefiting from Microsoft's continuous investment in improving its business applications. This ensures that users have access to the latest features, security updates, and innovations. 
  4. Scalability: Business Central is designed to be scalable, catering to the needs of both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger organizations. Its scalability allows businesses to grow and expand without the need for a significant transition to a different system. 
  5. Modern user interface: Business Central features a modern and intuitive user interface, making it easier for users to navigate and work with the system. The user-friendly design enhances the overall user experience.
