Still running NAV?
It may be costing you more than you think
If your organization is using Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you are likely facing a familiar set of questions:
- 1
Why are migrations so complex and expensive?
- 2
Are we exposed to security or support risks?
- 3
Should we move to the cloud?
- 4
What’s the real cost of staying where we are?
- 5
Is it time to migrate to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?
You don’t need a sales pitch. You need clarity.
The reality for NAV customers today
Many NAV environments were implemented years ago and have evolved through:
Heavy C/AL customizations
Increasing IT maintenance costs
Version-locked migrations
Limited integration with modern Microsoft tools
On-prem server infrastructure
Growing security and compliance exposure
Why companies are migrating from Dynamics NAV to Business Central
Organizations are moving from NAV to Business Central for five strategic reasons:
End-of-lifecycle and future investment
NAV is no longer Microsoft’s innovation focus. Business Central receives continuous investment, biannual updates, and AI-driven enhancements.
Migration fatigue
NAV migrations are large, disruptive projects. Business Central’s extension model eliminates the need for repeated reimplementation.
Rising infrastructure and IT costs
Server refresh cycles, SQL licensing, backups, and security patching add hidden operational costs.
Customization debt
Modified base code makes migrations expensive and risky. Business Central’s extension architecture protects your investment.
Cloud and modern integration
Business Central integrates natively with Microsoft 365, Power BI, Teams, and Power Platform, enabling automation, visibility, and modern workflows.
The cost of staying on NAV
Staying on Microsoft Dynamics NAV introduces recurring migration and infrastructure costs, increases security exposure, and restricts long-term modernization.
Limited-time:
Bridge to Cloud (BTC3) offer
If you’re running Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Microsoft is currently offering a limited-time migration incentive to move to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Eligible customers receive:
- 30% off Business Central licenses
- Pricing locked for 3 years
For many NAV customers, this significantly improves the financial case for moving to the cloud especially compared to funding another migration cycle or infrastructure refresh.
However, eligibility and timing matter. Our NAV to Business Central migration assessment determines whether this promotion strengthens your business case and whether now is the right moment to act.
What the decision really comes down to
For most organizations running Microsoft Dynamics NAV, the question is no longer technical. It is strategic.
Do we continue investing in a version-bound, migration-heavy platform?
Or do we modernize onto Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, with continuous updates and cloud scalability?
This isn’t about chasing technology trends. It’s about:
Reducing long-term ERP risk
Controlling migration costs
Eliminating customization debt
Enabling automation and integration
Positioning the business for the next 5–10 years
The right answer depends on your environment.
Our NAV to Business Central migration assessment
Before you commit to another NAV migration or infrastructure investment, we provide a structured, executive-level assessment that can form the basis of a decision framework.
The assessment conversation includes:
NAV version and support lifecycle analysis
Customization and extension complexity review
Infrastructure and hosting cost evaluation
Security and compliance exposure review
Cloud migration readiness scoring
High-level upgrade vs. migration cost comparison
Phased modernization roadmap
You leave with clarity on:
Whether upgrading NAV makes financial sense
Whether a cloud migration is viable
What the risk profile looks like
What the real cost trajectory is over 5–7 years
Who this is designed for?
This assessment is built specifically for decision-makers in organizations that:
Are running NAV 2013–2018 (or earlier)
Have accumulated significant customizations
Face an upcoming migration or server refresh
Are under pressure to move to cloud infrastructure
Need better integration with Microsoft 365 and analytics tools
Want to understand the true cost of staying on NAV
What happens next
The assessment process includes a 30-minute discovery discussion, structured technical and commercial review, executive findings, and defined upgrade or migration pathways.
