ERP Migration to Dynamics 365 Business Central
ERP migration to Business Central is the process of moving your master data, transaction history and opening balances off a legacy system such as Dynamics NAV, GP, Sage, SAP or QuickBooks and into Dynamics 365 Business Central, with balances reconciled and signed off by your finance team before you go live.
Migration is the part of an ERP project where confidence is either earned or lost. If the trial balance does not agree on day one, nobody trusts the new system, and the informal spreadsheets come straight back.
So we rehearse. Every migration runs into a sandbox at least twice before the live cutover, and your finance team signs off the reconciliation each time.
What ERP Migration to Business Central includes
Source system assessment
What exists, what is still used, and what should be left behind. Migrating a decade of dormant records costs money and slows the system permanently.
Data cleansing
Duplicate customers, obsolete items and orphaned records dealt with before migration rather than carried across and multiplied.
Field mapping
A documented mapping from every source field to its Business Central destination, including the transformations and defaults applied.
Opening balance reconciliation
Trial balance, aged receivables, aged payables, inventory valuation and fixed asset registers reconciled line by line and signed off by your accountants.
Historical data strategy
A decision on how much transaction history moves into Business Central and how much stays queryable in an archive, balancing audit needs against performance.
Rehearsed cutover
A timed dry run with a documented rollback point, so the live weekend follows a script that has already been executed successfully.

How the engagement runs
Assess
We profile the source data and report what is clean, what is not and what should be retired.
Map and cleanse
Mapping is documented and cleansing happens in the source system where possible, so it benefits everyone.
Trial migration
A full run into a sandbox, followed by reconciliation against your source reports.
Rehearse
A second timed run to prove the runbook and establish exactly how long cutover takes.
Cutover
The live run, executed against the rehearsed script with finance sign off before you transact.
What you end up with
Opening balances that agree with your legacy system on day one
A cutover with a known duration and a rollback point
Legacy clutter retired rather than carried forward
An audit trail of every transformation applied
Who this is for
Businesses on Dynamics NAV or GP approaching end of support, companies that have outgrown QuickBooks or Sage, and groups consolidating several legacy systems onto one platform.
