Business Central pre-migration review with Discovery X-ray: start planning a predictable cloud migration

Examine your current ERP system for a smarter cloud migration: save time and budget

Losing track of the changes made to NAV/BC systems over time and using outdated, often heavily customized ERP versions nearing Dynamics NAV end of support means losing organizational solution memory.

When the time comes to migrate to Business Central online, businesses struggle to define what to migrate from an old system, reimplement, replace with the available cloud extensions, or leave behind. Such uncertainty makes it harder to kick off a needed cloud migration project.

That’s why a professional BC/NAV pre-migration code check is a smart starting point to know what exactly a business is dealing with before moving their NAV or Business Central on-prem to cloud.

Efficient Business Central migration planning starts with examining the current solution. We recommend Discovery X-ray as a detailed NAV/Business Central pre-migration check.

Discovery X-ray: a NAV/BC pre-migration review



A detailed NAV/BC code analysis, Discovery X-ray helps identify critical and non-essential customizations in the current BC system for the right technical and strategic decisions before transitioning to Business Central cloud.

This is an actionable overview based on in-depth technical analysis. It highlights critical issues in the current solution’s code, making it easier to plan a predictable transition to Business Central cloud: with no middlemen, but direct practical advice from those who have built Business Central solutions for over 13 years.

What businesses get with the Discovery X-ray pre-migration analysis

1

Deep NAV/BC pre-migration analysis with the list of modifications

The analysis provides a detailed BC/NAV customizations review: all that may impact the move to the cloud. We generate a list of modifications to see how they may influence the complexity and duration of a cloud migration project. When the migration starts, no guesswork endangers the process.

2

Secure pre-migration analysis

We only run the NAV/BC code analysis for the assessment, we never work with customer data. The objects with code are risk-free to submit for review.

3

Tailored, insight-driven cloud migration strategy

Customers can use the analysis results to choose a 1-to-1 upgrade or reimplementation, depending on what works best for their business processes and budget.

4

Recommendations from BC experts

Based on the findings, our software engineers recommend practical, future-proof alternatives and BC extensions to maintain the necessary functionality in the cloud.

5

Initial indicators for a NAV cloud compatibility check

The Discovery X-ray results can later be used to assess how well the current NAV/Business Central installation aligns with the target version. So, customers are aware of any compatibility gaps and risks before planning the cloud migration.

6

Time-efficient approach

We value our partners’ and customers’ time. They receive the analysis results in 2 days for timely decisions regarding cloud migration.



7

Freedom to choose a custom migration journey

No obligations from customers’ side. Discovery X-ray is a stand-alone package. The customers/partners are free to use the results to migrate as they wish: with us or any migration provider they trust.
