The duration depends on factors like the complexity of customizations, data size, and integration requirements. Most migrations can take between 2 to 6 months.
Dynamics 365 Business Central is essentially an evolution of Dynamics NAV, designed to meet the demands of modern businesses with enhanced features, cloud accessibility, and seamless integration. While NAV is still supported for existing customers, Business Central is the preferred choice for new implementations and upgrades.
To fully understand differences between Dynamics NAV and Dynamics 365 Business Central, one has to look at various dimensions. Here’s a summary:
Different approaches have to be assessed for suitability for each upgrade project. One can do a pure Technical Upgrade (life & shift) which makes the old NAV system functionality available in Business Central but may not use the new features and functionality of Business Central. At the other extreme, there can be an approach for a complete reimplementation. This can be a preferred approach if the NAV instance is very old lots of unused customizations. A Technical upgrade may be completed in just 2 to 4 weeks, whereas a fresh implementation may take 3 to 6 months (depending on the size of the system and customization needs). A Hybrid approach will be somewhere in between. Another important decision to be taken when deciding on the upgrade approach is on. If all the old data needs to be migrated and made available on the new system, it can take significant time – depending on the volume of historical data, and its hygiene.
Upgrading from Dynamics NAV to Dynamics 365 Business Central offers significant benefits, enabling businesses to modernize their operations, enhance efficiency, and embrace the latest technologies. Here are the main advantages:
