Microsoft Dynamics NAV Support & Migration

Still running Microsoft Dynamics NAV or Navision?

4Sight provides Dynamics NAV support, assessment and migration services to help organisations maintain their existing ERP environment while planning a structured transition to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Still Running Microsoft Dynamics NAV?

Microsoft Dynamics NAV has supported finance, operations and business processes for organisations for many years. But as the platform ages, businesses need to consider support, security, integrations and their longer-term ERP strategy.

Microsoft’s final NAV release was Dynamics NAV 2018, with extended support scheduled to end in January 2028. Microsoft is encouraging NAV customers to evaluate their future ERP strategy and Business Central migration options. 4Sight can help you understand your current environment before deciding what comes next.

Support for Your Existing NAV Environment

Technical Support

Get assistance with issues affecting your existing Dynamics NAV system.

Integrations

Assess existing integrations and dependencies before making changes to your ERP.

Migration Planning

Build a structured roadmap for moving from NAV to Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Your Path from Dynamics NAV to Business Central

A NAV migration isn’t simply about moving data. Existing customisations, integrations, reports and business processes need to be assessed before the appropriate migration strategy is determined.

Assess

Review your NAV version, infrastructure, data, integrations and customisations.

Plan

Define the appropriate migration approach, scope, priorities and implementation roadmap.

Modernise

Identify legacy customisations and processes that should be retained, replaced or redesigned.

Migrate

Move required business data and functionality into the new Business Central environment.

Optimise

Support users, integrations and processes after migration while continuing to improve the platform.

Dynamics NAV or Business Central?

Dynamics 365 Business Central builds on the capabilities familiar to Dynamics NAV users while providing a modern Microsoft ERP platform.

Moving to Business Central can provide access to Microsoft’s cloud ecosystem, ongoing platform updates, modern integrations, automation and newer AI capabilities.

But migration should not mean recreating years of legacy complexity.

4Sight can assess how your organisation currently uses NAV and determine which processes, customisations and integrations should form part of your future Business Central environment.

Not Ready to Migrate Yet?

Migration doesn’t necessarily need to happen immediately.

If Dynamics NAV remains critical to your business, 4Sight can help assess the current environment and identify immediate support requirements alongside your longer-term ERP roadmap.

This allows your organisation to approach modernisation as a planned business project rather than waiting until ageing technology forces the decision.

Why Consider Moving from NAV to Business Central?

Modern Cloud ERP

Move from ageing infrastructure towards a modern Microsoft ERP environment.

Connected Ecosystem

Connect ERP with Microsoft 365, Power Platform and other Microsoft technologies.

Automation & AI

Access newer automation, analytics and AI capabilities as the Microsoft platform evolves.

Long-Term Roadmap

Move onto a platform governed by Microsoft’s Modern Lifecycle Policy.

What's Next for Your Dynamics NAV Environment?

Whether you need support for your existing Dynamics NAV system or you’re considering a move to Business Central, start by understanding your current environment.

4Sight can help you assess where you are today and develop a practical roadmap for what comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Microsoft Dynamics NAV?

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an ERP platform originally designed for small and midsize organisations. It supports business processes including financial management, operations, inventory and other core ERP functions. Dynamics NAV subsequently evolved into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Is Microsoft Dynamics NAV still supported?

Support depends on the NAV version. For example, Microsoft lists Dynamics NAV 2018 extended support through 11 January 2028, while support for several earlier versions has already ended.

What replaced Microsoft Dynamics NAV?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is the modern successor for organisations using Dynamics NAV. Microsoft is actively providing migration guidance and tools for NAV customers moving to Business Central.

Can Dynamics NAV be migrated to Business Central?

Yes. Microsoft provides supported migration paths from Dynamics NAV to Business Central. The exact process depends on the NAV version, customisations and target Business Central environment.

Will our NAV customisations work in Business Central?

Not necessarily without modification. Existing customisations should be assessed before migration, and legacy C/AL customisations may need to be converted to AL extensions for a supported Business Central migration path.

Do we have to move all our historical NAV data?

Not necessarily. Microsoft documents both fuller migration approaches and a reimplementation route that can move essential data rather than carrying everything into the new environment. The appropriate approach depends on your requirements.

Should we migrate from NAV immediately?

That depends on your NAV version, business requirements, support position, customisations and broader ERP strategy. A current-state assessment can identify immediate risks and help establish an appropriate migration timeline.
