The Hidden Cost of Staying Put

Still Running Dynamics NAV?
Here Is What It Is Costing You

No Security Patches from Microsoft

NAV 2013 R2 and earlier are completely out of support. NAV 2018 mainstream support has ended. Every month without patches increases your exposure to security vulnerabilities and compliance failures.
'

Rising Maintenance, Shrinking Value

Your current partner charges more each year to maintain ageing code.
Customisations that worked in 2015 now slow your system down. You are paying more for a system that does less.
 
~

Locked Out of Modern Tools

 
NAV cannot connect to Power BI dashboards, Copilot AI, or Microsoft Teams natively. Your competitors on Business Central are making faster decisions with tools your system cannot access.
 

What Changes for Your Business

Upgrade from NAV to Business Central

Six meaningful improvements that take effect the moment you go live.

Cloud or on-premises - your choice

Business Central runs in the Microsoft cloud (Azure-hosted, automatically updated) or on your own servers. Most UK businesses choose cloud for lower maintenance costs and automatic updates. You are not forced into either option.

Microsoft 365 and Power Platform integration

Business Central connects natively with Excel, Outlook, Teams, Power BI, and Power Automate. Your finance team works inside the tools they already know, no separate login, no data exporting.

Your customisations, handled properly

We migrates your existing NAV customisations using Business Central’s Extensions framework, so future upgrades never break your business-specific functionality. We assess every customisation and recommend whether to migrate, rebuild, or replace.

Copilot AI built in

Business Central now includes Microsoft Copilot – AI-powered bank reconciliation suggestions, sales line suggestions, inventory forecasting, and natural language data queries. AI assistance inside your ERP, no additional platform needed.

40% savings on Business Central licences

Mercurius IT’s licence procurement model saves UK businesses up to 40% compared to buying through your existing partner. A verified claim, the savings apply to both new licences and renewals.

Bi-annual updates, no re-implementation

Microsoft releases two major updates per year. Business Central’s Extensions architecture means your customisations survive every update – no expensive re-implementation projects every time Microsoft releases a new version.

Dynamics NAV Upgrade – FAQs

Will I lose my customisations when upgrading from NAV?

No. Mercurius IT assesses every customisation in your NAV system. Business-critical customisations are migrated using Business Central’s Extensions framework. Where standard BC functionality replaces a customisation, we recommend the standard feature to reduce your long-term maintenance cost.

How does a fixed-price NAV upgrade work?

Mercurius IT conducts a free assessment of your NAV system. Based on the scope, version, customisations, data volume, integrations; we provide a fixed-price quote. That quote is your final invoice. No hourly overruns, no change orders.

How long does a NAV to Business Central upgrade take?

Most Mercurius IT NAV upgrades complete in 8-16 weeks depending on complexity. Heavily customised systems with large data volumes take longer. The timeline is confirmed as part of the free assessment.

Is upgrading from Dynamics NAV to Business Central risky?

Any ERP upgrade carries risk if poorly managed. Mercurius IT mitigates risk through a structured methodology: free assessment, data audit, sandbox testing, user training, and phased go-live. Every development is tested in a sandbox before touching your live system.

Can I stay on-premises or do I have to move to the cloud?

Business Central supports cloud (Azure-hosted), on-premises, and hybrid deployments. You choose. Most UK businesses choose cloud for lower maintenance and automatic updates, but on-premises remains fully supported.

What versions of NAV can be upgraded?

Mercurius IT upgrades all versions: from Navision 3.x and 4.0 through NAV 2009, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. Older versions may require an intermediate step through NAV 2018 before upgrading to Business Central.

What does a NAV upgrade cost?

Cost depends on your NAV version, number of users, customisation complexity, and data migration scope. Mercurius IT provides a fixed-price quote as part of the free assessment. Previous customers have saved over £25,000 compared to competitor quotes.

What support does Mercurius IT provide after go-live?

MaxCare managed support services are available post-upgrade; covering system optimisation, user training, Copilot configuration, and ongoing enhancements on a flexible subscription.
