Upgrading to Dynamics 365 Business Central – Seeking Advice

Tags: Microsoft, Software

Hello everyone,

I’m in the process of upgrading from Dynamics NAV to Dynamics 365 Business Central, and I’d love to hear from anyone who has made this transition. I am currently using a service company to assist with the upgrade, but I’d appreciate hearing about your personal experiences as well.

Here are some questions I have:

What were the main challenges you faced during the upgrade?

How did Business Central improve your business operations compared to NAV?

Are there any key features of Business Central that are particularly beneficial or worth exploring in detail?

Any tips or resources for ensuring a smooth upgrade?

I’d appreciate any insights or advice you can share.

Thank you!
