Advantages of upgrading from Dynamics NAV to Business Central

Is your company using an old, outdated version of Microsoft NAV? Do you want to implement a cloud-based strategy for your business applications but need help determining where to begin? Now is the time to consider a Dynamics NAV to Business Central upgrade

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a cloud-based business management system with an all-in-one approach. It is ideal for upgrading from a legacy ERP system or outdated entry-level accounting software to a system that offers a comprehensive solution for managing your business operations, including sales, financing, and customer service.

Business Central advantages over Dynamics NAV

Streamlining operations with Business Central helps you operate your business without needing separate silos. You can connect your operational processes to boost efficiency by automating workflows and tasks within Microsoft applications already familiar to your staff, such as Outlook, Excel and Word.

With Business Central, you will gain competitive advantages through actionable insights. Your staff will gain a clear view of your business with accurate business analytics, connected data, and expert guidance from Microsoft’s intelligent technologies.

It is easy to boost your business growth with a Dynamics 365 upgrade, which will adapt and evolve with your changing business needs. The enhanced features in Business Central are built on a flexible platform that will grow and expand your business in real time.

Advantages of transitioning from Dynamics NAV to Business Central

You may wonder why your business should move from NAV to Business Central. There are many valuable reasons for upgrading, but here are the top three.

1: Cost-effective solution: Eliminating the costs associated with maintaining your servers will greatly reduce your infrastructure spending. For example, Business Central licenses are currently available for as low as £6.00 per user per month. Compare this to what you currently pay.

2: Easy and secure remote working: Management simplification with Business Central makes it more viable for your staff to work from home and access real-time secured data from anywhere.

3: New features and functionality: Dynamics 365 Business Central features include a whole host of new functionality options, including cash-flow management and AI. These enable you to automate daily manual tasks and create workflows to save your staff a lot of time and effort, helping to boost productivity and efficiency.
