We have over 30 years’ experience in Microsoft applications, with a key focus on helping organisations using Dynamics NAV upgrade to Business Central.
If you are using Dynamics NAV then in most cases, we’d say it is time to upgrade, but we also look closely at the individual needs of every customer we work with to ensure this is the right step for them.
Generally, though, we believe that if you’re using NAV then you are potentially selling your business performance short – and ultimately, you’re not operating from a modern, supported and secure platform.
Knowing when it's time to upgrade, ask yourself some questions...
When working with customers who are concerned that their Dynamics NAV applications are not meeting the demands of a modern business, we ask them to consider some relevant questions.
- Are you concerned about running on unsupported NAV, with the security and usability risks this brings?
- Do you lack trust in the financial data you access to drive key business decisions?
- Are you limited in your use of data, making it difficult to deliver a joined up customer experience?
- Are you paying additional development costs due to having bespoke code within your NAV application?
- Are you missing out on the benefits of cloud technology, such as rapid data recovery or minimising the risk of on premise data loss?
- Do you lack clear visibility across your supply chain?
- Do your projects typically run over time and over budget?
- Are you failing to keep pace with legislative updates such as Making Tax Digital?
Should they answer ‘yes’ to any of these questions then it’s highly likely that a NAV to Business Central upgrade is their right next step, and we’ll kick off the project to get them there.

Common Questions
In our experience, the risk of running an unsupported version of Dynamics NAV should be of immediate concern and a key driver behind upgrading to Dynamics Business Central. Here’s some of the main risks when running unsupported:
Security: Microsoft continually improve their security to fend off malicious threats and attacks. Unsupported NAV doesn’t benefit from these updates, leaving businesses open to hackers and other breaches.
Emergency Fixes: If you continually miss out on upgrades across your software packages then one minor system breakage can cause multiple impacts, leading to the need for costly and complex emergency fixes.
Lost productivity: Every new version brings improvements and enhancements that deliver productivity gains, running unsupported means you miss out on these gains.
Lack trust in the financial data you use to drive key business decisions?
With Business Central your data is available in real time with reporting of KPIs easy to collate and share with self-serve reports available from trusted data sources, rapidly improving the decision making across your business. And you’re fully integrated with Office 365 and able to work seamlessly with familiar tools including Excel, Word and Outlook.
Do you waste time working across multiple systems and applications?
Business Central is Microsoft’s comprehensive, cloud ready business and finance management platform specifically designed for small to medium sized organisations. This means all your applications are available in one, consolidated platform and accessible anytime, anywhere.
How much does Business Central cost?
There are differing promotions that your business could take advantage of when upgrading to Business Central. For example, existing NAV users with an enhancement plan in place can upgrade to BC On Premise and receive 3 named users for every 1 concurrent user with no change to the enhancement plan cost.
We appreciate that every customer is different when it comes to the most suitable cost model, as a result we’ll work with you to quickly identify your best option.
