What are the benefits of a move to Business Central?
Eliminate Costly Version Upgrades with Evergreen Updates
Unlock more value from your Microsoft investment
Move from customizations to modern extensions
Older NAV systems rely on direct custom code, which complicates upgrades and system performance. Business Central uses a modern extensions-based approach that allows you to tailor your system while keeping the core product intact. This makes upgrades smoother and reduces long-term technical debt.
Improve decision-making with real-time data and AI
Business Central delivers real-time dashboards, built-in reporting tools, and AI-powered forecasting features. These capabilities help you understand your financial position, monitor performance, and make informed decisions without relying on external systems.
Gain anywhere access with true cloud deployment
Business Central is designed for today’s flexible work environments. Your team can securely access the system from any device, in any location, using only a web browser. There’s no need for VPNs, remote desktop connections, or complex IT setups.
