⚙️ How We Upgrade You from NAV
We follow a structured approach based on years of experience and dozens of successful migrations:
- Free Object Analysis & Upgrade Proposal
We begin by analyzing your existing NAV system – reviewing customizations, add-ons, and data volumes. You receive a no-obligation upgrade assessment report with a fixed-cost proposal tailored to your system. - C/AL to AL Conversion
Legacy C/AL code is identified and converted into modern AL extensions, ensuring compatibility with Business Central’s extension-based architecture. We also eliminate dead code and streamline logic during this step. - Data Migration & Validation
The migration process depends on the upgrade path selected:- Full Upgrade: All historical data, including closed entries, are migrated to Business Central. This approach ensures continuity but may require significant cleanup of legacy data.
- Reimplementation: We migrate your core setups, master data (Customers, Vendors, Items, etc.), and open transactions (Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, GL balances, etc.). This allows better alignment with new Business Central features and offers a clean start while preserving operational continuity.
- In both cases, we use proven tools and scripts, validate the migrated data rigorously, and provide reconciliation reports for transparency and control.
- Custom App Rebuild for Extension Model
We rebuild your NAV customizations as modular, upgrade-safe extensions. Where possible, we replace outdated custom logic with new standard features or low-code alternatives via Power Platform. - Cloud or On-Prem Setup, Based on Your Needs
Whether you’re going cloud-first or staying on-premise, we configure the environment to match your IT and compliance requirements. We also assist with hybrid hosting if needed. - Testing, Training, & Go-Live Support
We engage your team in UAT, provide key-user training, and offer go-live hypercare. Our structured testing plan ensures your upgraded system runs smoothly from day one.
We also help you navigate Microsoft’s license migration discounts and calculate your ROI.
