Microsoft Dynamics NAV to Business Central Migration Assessment

Migrating from Microsoft Dynamics NAV to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in the cloud is more than a technical upgrade—it’s an opportunity to modernize operations, reduce IT overhead, and take advantage of Microsoft’s latest innovations in automation, reporting, and artificial intelligence. This structured assessment helps you evaluate the scope, requirements, risks, and opportunities involved in a Microsoft Dynamics NAV upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Designed for organizations currently running Microsoft Dynamics NAV on-premises, this two-hour engagement, delivered remotely, begins with a discovery session to understand your business goals, challenges, and reasons for migrating. We review your existing Microsoft Dynamics NAV environment—including version, customizations, integrations, and usage—to create a clear technical and functional picture of your current state.

Next, we conduct a fit-gap analysis that compares your existing processes with the out-of-the-box capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. We identify where your current customizations can be replaced with native features or extensions, and provide guidance on migrating your business logic in a more scalable, cloud-native model.

We also provide a detailed data migration plan, including what to move, how to clean and structure it, and what to archive. Our experts help you determine the best migration approach—phased, hybrid, or “big bang”—based on your timeline, risk tolerance, and business continuity needs.

As part of training and change management planning, we highlight how Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central enhances onboarding and boosts productivity by providing AI-driven suggestions, summarizing records, and automating repetitive tasks—reducing the learning curve and boosting user adoption from day one.
