Many businesses still rely on Microsoft Navision or Dynamics NAV to manage their daily operations. While these legacy systems have served businesses well, Microsoft is phasing out support, leaving no new security updates, bug fixes, or features.  

For organizations still on Navision or NAV, upgrading to Dynamics 365 Business Central ensures a modern, cloud-ready ERP built to support growth and innovation. 

1. Understanding End of Support

When Microsoft ends support for legacy products like NAV, it no longer provides: 

• Regular security patches and updates 

• Technical support or hotfixes 

• Compatibility updates with new Windows or Office versions 

Without these, your system becomes more vulnerable to security threats and compliance risks. Over time, it also becomes harder to integrate with newer technologies that drive business innovation. 

2. Why Upgrading Matters
   Switching to Business Central helps your organization maintain security, compliance, and competitiveness in today’s fast-paced environment. Here’s what your business gains:

• Always up-to-date: Automatic updates keep your system current without extra effort. 

• Work from anywhere: Cloud-based access enables smooth remote collaboration across teams. 

• Smarter decisions: Built-in AI delivers actionable insights to guide your strategy. 

• Unified Connections: Work seamlessly across Microsoft 365, Power BI, and the Power Platform for a more connected business. 

Upgrading is more than swapping out old software — it’s adopting a flexible platform that scales and evolves with your business needs. 

3. Planning Your Upgrade Path

A successful migration starts with a clear plan. Here’s how Systema365 recommends approaching it: 

1. Assessment – Review your current NAV setup, version, and customizations. 

1. Data Preparation – Clean and organize your data to ensure a smooth transfer. 

1. Migration Strategy – Choose between a full cloud migration or a hybrid setup that best fits your business needs. 

1. Training & Adoption – Provide your team with the skills and knowledge needed to use Business Central efficiently. 

1. Go-Live & Support – Test, launch, and receive ongoing support for continuous improvement. 

Every step is designed to keep disruptions to a minimum and ensure your business keeps running smoothly.
