Is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central different from Microsoft Dynamics Nav?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is the newer version of Microsoft Dynamics Nav. It offers the same functionalities and capabilities as Dynamics Nav. However, despite the similarities, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is more user-friendly and offers wider reach and better flexibility.

In this blog, let us look at the 6 Major Reasons why businesses should migrate from Microsoft Dynamics Nav to Business Central.

Stay Updated

From 31^st March 2021 onwards, Microsoft has stopped selling Dynamics Nav to new customers. Though the existing Nav customers can purchase new licenses for their solution, the mainstream support for Dynamics Nav has come to an end. This means that Microsoft will no longer release upgrades for Dynamics Nav.

Easier & Automatic Upgrades

For Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, upgrades occur every 6 months i.e., twice a year. Moreover, for the Business Central cloud version, these upgrades are automatic. Additionally, unlike Dynamics Nav, the new AL coding makes upgrades in Business Central much easier to manage in the long run.

Cloud-based solution

As a cloud-based solution, Business Central is accessible, scalable and secure. Businesses can access it 24/7 anywhere, from any device. Moreover, it offers much-needed flexibility and scalability to businesses for meeting their requirements. In addition, as a secure solution, it also provides them with unmatched security and governance.

Besides, businesses also have the option of deploying Business Central as an on-premises solution. However, by doing so, they may miss out on the benefits of a true cloud solution.

Seamless Integration

Business Central seamlessly integrates with Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Power BI, Power Apps, etc. As a result, it offers real-time analytics and an end-to-end view of business processes. At the same time, it unlocks productivity, facilitates collaboration, and eliminates data silos.

Cost-Effective

With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, businesses can pay per user, per month. As a result, they can manage their costs easily. Moreover, the cost of automatic upgrades is also included in the subscription.  Therefore,  businesses can stay confident that they are using the latest and the most secure version, without any additional investment. Similarly, by using Business Central Cloud, they can further optimize their costs as businesses do not have to invest in maintaining their in-house servers.

Modern User Interface

Business Central offers a modern and intuitive interface. As a result, it can be used on any device, without a difference in user experience.
