You Deserve the Full Picture
Whether you’re using Microsoft Dynamics GP or NAV, you’ve probably heard it all by now:
- “You still have years until support ends.”
- “Business Central is too different.”
- “Upgrading is expensive and complicated.”
But here’s the truth: not moving might be costing you more. Not just in dollars, but in growth potential, team productivity, and long-term competitiveness.
With inflation rising, operational costs climbing, and cloud innovation accelerating, now is the time to take a step back and look at the real business case for moving to Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Myth #1: “GP and NAV are still supported, so there’s no rush.”
Support doesn’t equal innovation.
Yes, GP and NAV will receive regulatory and security updates for a few more years. But Microsoft has made it clear: new features, AI capabilities, and deep integrations are being built into Business Central — not GP or NAV.
If you wait until end-of-life is around the corner, you’ll be dealing with higher migration costs, fewer internal resources, and more urgent timelines.
“By 2026, companies not operationalizing AI will be outpaced by at least 50%.” — Gartner, 2024

Myth #2: “Business Central isn’t as robust as GP/NAV.”
This might have been true years ago. But today? Business Central is outpacing legacy systems in nearly every area:
- AI-powered forecasting, automation, and reporting (via Copilot)
- Native Microsoft 365, Teams, and Power Platform integrations
- Monthly feature releases — including warehouse enhancements, financial period locking, improved bank recs, and more
- No servers, no upgrades, no surprise infrastructure costs
Bottom line: Business Central isn’t “missing” features — it’s adding new ones faster than GP and NAV ever could.

Myth #3: “It costs too much to move.”
Let’s reframe that: What does it cost you to stay?
- Rising fees to maintain outdated infrastructure
- Manual workarounds costing hours of productivity
- Missed insights due to siloed data
- Lost revenue opportunities from a lack of automation
Yes, migrations take planning — but with the right partner, they also come with predictable costs, scalable licensing, and long-term savings.
A 2024 Forrester study found that BC customers achieved 265% ROI in 3 years and payback in less than 6 months.
In today’s economy, operational efficiency is non-negotiable. Business Central helps you do more with less.
The Real Question: Can You Afford to Wait?
Staying on GP or NAV might feel comfortable, but comfort isn’t a strategy — especially when competitors are already scaling with AI-powered workflows, mobile access, and real-time insights.
You’re not just migrating software. You’re:
- Laying the foundation for AI adoption
- Enabling your team to work smarter
- Creating a scalable system for future growth
If you’re already feeling stretched or frustrated by your system, waiting won’t make it better. It will only delay progress.
