Why Migrate from Navision/NAV to Business Central: Benefits for Philippine SMEs
For many small and mid-sized businesses in the Philippines, Microsoft Navision or Dynamics NAV has been a reliable ERP system for years. In today’s digital-driven business world, outdated software can restrict growth. Dynamics 365 Business Central, the modern successor to NAV, is a cloud-based ERP that brings finance, operations, sales, and service together in one seamless platform. Here’s why Philippine SMEs should consider migrating now.
- Built for the Cloud Era
Unlike Navision or NAV, which depend on on-premise servers, Business Central runs on the Microsoft Azure cloud. This means:
- Access from anywhere, on any device.
- Save on IT costs since there’s no need to upkeep physical servers.
- Automatic updates and data backups for peace of mind.
For growing companies, the ability to work securely and remotely is a major advantage.
- Integrated Microsoft Ecosystem
Business Central works seamlessly with Microsoft 365 (Office, Teams, Outlook) and tools like Power BI for data visualization. This integration helps teams work smarter for example, you can send quotes, track invoices, and view financial data right from Outlook.
With fully integrated systems, your organization works more efficiently and removes the data silos that slow down decisions.
- Improved Insights and Automation
Business Central includes AI-driven insights and automation features that simplify routine tasks such as inventory tracking, cash flow forecasting, and expense management. These capabilities help SMEs make faster, data-backed decisions and focus more on strategy rather than manual processes.
- Scalable and Cost-Effective
With its subscription-based model, you only pay for what your business needs. Adding users or modules is easy, and there’s no need for costly upgrades every few years. As your business evolves, Business Central adapts to meet your changing needs.
- Local Relevance and Support
For Philippine businesses, compliance and localization matter. Business Central supports multi-currency transactions, localized tax settings, and integration with local financial regulations ensuring your operations run smoothly both locally and globally.
