Why make a transition to dynamics business central?
The need to make a transition from Dynamics NAV to Business Central is simple. In this fiercely competitive world, the need to have the latest technologies is highly essential to improve business. Customers are stuck with an old version of a solution that needs updating to meet market standards. The oldest Dynamics NAV now available is 2019. New features exist in Business central that are in sync with market demand. New versions are highly customized.
How to migrate to business central?
Clients using Dynamics NAV are familiar with Business central since Central is an extension of NAV. Thus according to Microsoft, in the latest version of Dynamics NAV called NAV 2019, it is possible to migrate from Dynamics NAV to Dynamics 365 via a migration path.
The justification you can not simply transfer your customizations from prior NAV versions is that the configuration model is distinct. The biggest barrier our customers face is transitioning from a traditional version of Dynamics NAV like 4.0, 5.0, 7.0, and 9. 0. Nonetheless, if you are operating a dated version such as NAV 4.0, 7.0 or 2019, it is in your best interest to investigate the database until you put it into Dynamics 365.
If you still have the earlier version, you have to secure Data Transfer from you to your Business Central online tenant SQL Server or NAV premises case. And, the old edition you have of Dynamics NAV, the higher the possibility that you will need to dump or update your customizations to be compliant with Dynamics 365 Business Central. If you operate a new feature of Dynamics, Microsoft has created a tool that allows customizing Dynamics 365 to suit the application.
The process will migrate the data between databases using ADF or Azure Data Factory. Depending on factors like the size of data, the configuration of SQL server, speed of communication, the data migration period is time-consuming.
Customers switching from NAV to Business Central Cloud will love the innovation from Microsoft called the Cloud Migration Tool, a complete setup wizard.
Finally, if the business is already on-site with extensions, then we recommend reviewing the Intelligent Cloud Migration. If you use C / AL instead, you must rebuild your customization as plugins first. Data migration can then be performed using the previously suggested method or using RapidStart, XMLports, or APIs.
