Transitioning from Dynamics NAV to Business Central
With Microsoft encouraging Dynamics NAV users to transition to Dynamics 365 Business Central, the shift to a cloud-based ERP solution is both strategic and advantageous. Business Central future-proofs your business, delivering powerful cloud capabilities and seamless integration across the Microsoft ecosystem. For organizations ready to make this change, OmniVue, a trusted Microsoft AI Cloud Partner, provides a guided and efficient upgrade path tailored to your needs.
Why Act Now?
End of Support Deadlines:
Many Dynamics NAV versions are approaching or have already passed their end-of-support dates. For example:
- NAV 2015: Extended support ends January 14, 2025
- NAV 2016: Ends April 14, 2026
- NAV 2017: Ends January 11, 2027
- NAV 2018: Ends January 11, 2028
Without ongoing updates and security patches, your system faces increasing risks, including cyber threats, compliance issues, and costly downtime.
Compatibility & Security:
With Windows 10 support ending October 14, 2025, NAV environments dependent on legacy infrastructure are at risk of compatibility failures.
Upgrading to Dynamics 365 Business Central ensures continued compatibility, enhanced security, and access to Microsoft’s latest platform innovations and support.
Cost & Efficiency:
Legacy NAV systems often come with rising maintenance costs, limited cloud capabilities, and aging integrations.
Business Central offers a modern, cloud-native ERP that:
- Automates manual processes
- Improves team collaboration with Microsoft 365 and Power Platform
- Reduces IT overhead with predictable update cycles and built-in scalability

Benefits of Upgrading to Business Central from Dynamics NAV
Cloud-Based, Scalable Platform
Unlike Dynamics NAV, which relies on on-premises setups, Business Central is fully cloud-based, providing you with secure remote access, automatic updates, and built-in scalability. This flexibility supports business growth without the need for additional hardware, ensuring your ERP system is always up to date and accessible.
Enhanced AI and Automation
Business Central offers advanced AI capabilities and automation tools that NAV lacks, bringing features like predictive stock replenishment, automated financial reporting, and improved insights. These tools streamline operations, reduce manual tasks, and empower your team with more accurate, data-driven decision-making.
Seamless Integration with Microsoft’s Ecosystem
Business Central is designed to integrate deeply with other Microsoft products like Office 365, Power BI, and Azure, creating a unified workspace that Dynamics NAV can’t match. This level of integration allows your team to share data seamlessly and collaborate using familiar tools, driving efficiency and productivity.
Future-Proofed ERP Investment
Microsoft has shifted its focus to Business Central, which means continuous improvements, enhanced security, and long-term support—something no longer available with NAV. Upgrading ensures you’re aligned with Microsoft’s future roadmap, giving you an ERP solution built to grow with your business.
