leverage the power of the cloud with D365 Business Central.

As of 2023, Microsoft has ended mainstream support for all Dynamics NAV versions. The product has evolved into Dynamics 365 Business Central – a similarly feature-rich but more advanced ERP system that can be deployed in the cloud. With its AI-powered automations, built-in reporting capabilities, and enhanced security, Business Central is THE most obvious choice for NAV users looking to accelerate digital transformation and supercharge growth with data-driven decisions.

GraVoc’s Microsoft Dynamics specialists can ensure a frictionless upgrade to Business Central, regardless of how many companies, integrations, customizations, or ISV products you have in your Dynamics NAV environment.

when is the right time to upgrade from Dynamics NAV to Dynamics 365 Business Central?

With the end of mainstream support, all Dynamics NAV software have stopped receiving feature enhancements and non-security updates. Running an outdated system will lead to regulatory compliance challenges, scalability issues, and limited opportunities to leverage new AI-powered experiences. As your business evolves and competes in today’s tech-forward market, using an aging Dynamics NAV system with limited support and scope for optimization will hinder your growth potential.

Dynamics 365 solutions, including Business Central, are the future, and Microsoft is focusing its resources on innovating these products. With the cloud-based Business Central, you can enhance productivity through task automation, empower decision-makers with real-time insights, and manage processes anytime, anywhere.

So, all Dynamics NAV users, especially those on older versions like NAV 2013 that have also lost extended support, should proactively get started on the upgrade to Business Central.
