The Challenges
Upgrading from Microsoft Dynamics to Business Central 22
Data migration
Data migration from Navision to Business Central is complex due to structural differences, often requiring data transformation and significant time for high-volume businesses.
Customizations and Integrations
Custom Navision modifications often aren’t compatible with Business Central, requiring redevelopment. Existing integrations may also need updates and thorough testing to ensure full functionality.
User training
Business Central’s interface and features differ from Navision, requiring user training. Adoption can be challenging, especially for users resistant to change or overwhelmed by the new system.
Timing and downtime
Upgrading to Business Central can disrupt operations if downtime isn’t carefully managed. Strategic planning is essential to avoid affecting critical business activities.
The Solution
Navigating a Complex Transition to Modern ERP
The transition from Navision to Business Central was complex, requiring careful planning and consideration. Our team addressed multiple factors to ensure a smooth upgrade to a more advanced solution.
Plan carefully
Successful migrations require careful planning. Our team began by analysing existing systems, identifying issues, and developing a detailed project plan.
Test thorougly
Thorough testing ensures the new system functions correctly and meets business needs. We conducted user acceptance, integration, and performance testing for the project.
Involve stakeholders
Successful migration requires involvement from all organizational stakeholders. We engaged end users, IT teams, analysts, project managers, finance, and executives.
Train end-users
To ensure proper use, end users must receive training. Our team provided ongoing support, training sessions, and comprehensive materials.
The Result
We successfully upgraded to the more recent version 22 of Business Central by adhering to the Microsoft recommended sure-step technique. The client was able to have a system that is more efficient and can be seamlessly accessed from any of their locations across the globe.
