So, if you are willing to upgrade in the future, why not consider taking this decision today? It will save a lot of resources that can be invested in business growth.

Let's find out which NAV version you are on before taking the next step.

Upgrading to Business Central: Are You Being Pressured?

Some Microsoft solution partners are pushing their existing NAV customers towards Business Central upgrades to boost their own revenue. This can be a stressful situation, especially for businesses who opted for cloud-based NAV deployments. Here's why:

Pressure to Migrate or Lose Support

Microsoft partners are increasingly discontinuing support for cloud-hosted NAV environments, including those on Microsoft Azure or third-party hosting providers. This leaves businesses with two unappealing options: upgrade to Business Central or find a new partner willing to support their existing NAV system.

Upgrade Costs Causing Discontent

The upgrade fees quoted by such NAV partners can be substantial, often exceeding £100K. This is causing frustration among NAV users who feel pressured into a costly upgrade they may not be ready for.

Data Control Concerns

Switching to a new partner can be complex, especially if existing partners control your NAV data and charge some fees for its retrieval. This raises security concerns and risks non-compliance with GDPR. Ensuring data security and regulatory compliance is crucial when entrusting your data to a third-party vendor.
