Benefits of Dynamics NAV Upgrade to Business Central
The Microsoft Dynamics ecosystem is constantly evolving. And while you opt for NAV upgrade, you also choose to opt for stable & secure cloud hosting and the latest functionalities.
- One of the main benefits is the Dynamics 365 Business Central extensions technology. You can use AppSource to bolt a new functionality to your Business Central set up with a new extension. And you can even unbolt the extension without any change in the core code.
- Next, with Business Central, you are eligible for bi-annual upgrades and the latest features. Business Central also requires less training time, dynamic search, focus mode, late payment prediction, etc.
So, if you are witnessing slow business growth owing to stagnant processes and inefficiencies, we can help you upgrade to Dynamics 365 Business Central.
