Dynamics NAV is an established, robust enterprise resource planning (ERP) tool that helps organizations manage business functions, including finance, human resources, and supply chain management. However, many companies happy with NAV find themselves needing to extend their ability to scale their ERP solution with company growth. In addition, they’re looking for a solution that lets them operate in the cloud. 

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central expands upon the capabilities provided by Dynamics NAV. Let's examine why companies might want to undergo a NAV to Business Central upgrade and the process involved. 

Businesses often find it necessary to integrate different applications with native and third-party applications, which usually presents challenges for IT professionals and developers. One advantage of Dynamics 365 Business Central is that it can be integrated with existing Microsoft environments and popular third-party software. Let’s explore what’s possible with Business Central integration.  

Are you looking to make your business more agile? One way of doing that is by moving your current Dynamics 365 Business Central instance from on-premises to the cloud. That lets your company unlock benefits like streamlining your operations, cost savings because of fewer server costs, and a greater ability to scale and grow your business. Let’s look at how you migrate Business Central on-premises to Business Central Cloud. 

Enterprise resource management (ERP) platforms offer a lot of benefits. They help you boost efficiency among your workforce and provide better customer experiences. Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) and Dynamics 365 Business Central are popular among small and medium-sized businesses looking to stay competitive with larger enterprises. It helps to understand what each platform offers as you consider whether to go with Dynamics 365 Business Central vs. GP.

Microsoft Dynamics GP has been a cornerstone ERP system for many organizations. However, many are transitioning from Dynamics GP to Business Central as businesses seek modern, cloud-based solutions to manage operations more efficiently. This migration brings a more user-friendly interface with advanced cloud-enabled technologies that enhance automation and streamline workflows.

In this blog, we’ll outline the key reasons for upgrading from Microsoft GP to Business Central, walk through the steps of a successful migration, and discuss considerations and tools to help you create a smooth transition.

Companies deal with constant pressure from outside forces as they work to ensure the smooth delivery of products and services to customers. As a result, it’s more important than ever that organizations have a robust ERP solution capable of handling every-changing demand.

Dynamics 365 Business Central is a management solution designed to help small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) manage various business processes. If you’re currently thinking about purchasing a license for Business Central, Microsoft provides a way for organizations to evaluate the product. That way, you get the chance to try out the rich features offered through Business Central before making a purchasing decision.

Once you settle on Dynamics 365 Business Central as your business management solution, you need to figure out the best deployment method for your organization. While many companies are moving to cloud-based infrastructure, you may prefer installing your Dynamics 365 Business Central instance on-premises. There’s a lot to consider in your choice of deployment, including security concerns, integrations with other business systems, and your ability to make critical information available across the enterprise.

Application testing is one of the most powerful and underutilized tools in a developer’s arsenal. Too often, the pressure to get something built and implemented quickly overrides concerns about quality. As a result, it may seem easier to bypass the testing stage and go straight to deployment. Unfortunately, making that decision often leads to situations where your customers uncover bugs in your solutions before your developers do.

The competitive and dynamic nature of the manufacturing industry makes for a challenging environment. That’s why many companies rely on ERP solutions capable of helping organizations make informed and strategic decisions while overseeing various processes within the supply chain. Dynamics 365 Business Central helps manufacturers integrate different aspects of the manufacturing process within one solution.
