Get an updated and cloud-ready Dynamics 365 system that your team actually uses, built on everything your business has already invested in.
If your business is running on an older version of Microsoft Dynamics, the window for a planned, structured upgrade is narrowing. Microsoft Dynamics AX is now fully out of support. Dynamics GP has an announced end of life in 2029. Dynamics NAV, while still in use across the UAE, has been replaced by Business Central as Microsoft’s primary platform for small and mid-sized businesses.
Every business arrives at an upgrade from a different starting point. Here are the most common paths we handle across the UAE.
Business Central is the direct successor to NAV. The upgrade path is well defined and the core functionality your team already knows carries across. What changes is the platform, the cloud capability, and access to the full range of Dynamics 365 integrations your business did not have before.
Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management are the cloud successors to AX. With AX now fully out of support, this upgrade removes the compliance and security risk of running on an unsupported platform and gives your business access to the capabilities that AX could never deliver.
GP has served many businesses well but Microsoft has announced its end of life in 2029. Business Central covers everything GP handled for finance and operations, with a modern interface, cloud access, and native Microsoft 365 integration that GP was never built to support.
Already on Dynamics 365 but running an older version? We manage the upgrade to the latest release, including reviewing your customisations, updating integrations, and making sure everything carries across without disruption to your team.
Upgrading is a chance to fix what was not working in the old system and make sure the new one is set up properly from the start. Here is how we approach it.
We start by reviewing your current system, version, customisations, and integrations to understand the upgrade requirements.
Based on the assessment, We compare your existing system with the new version to determine what needs to change.
With the gaps identified, We define the upgrade scope and prepare a plan for moving to the new version.
We prepare and migrate your existing data, then validate it to ensure accuracy in the new system.
We configure the upgraded system and adapt the required customisations to meet your business needs.
Before launch, we test the system against your business processes and prepare your team to use it.
Once everything is ready, we move to the upgraded system and support your team after go-live.
Getting Business Central right is not just about the software. It is about having the right team beside you at every stage.

Recognized by Microsoft and the platforms we build on, so you know who you’re working with.
Technically you can stay, but the risk increases over time. Dynamics AX is already fully out of support, meaning no security patches and no compliance updates. Dynamics GP reaches end of life in 2029. NAV is still supported in some versions but Business Central is now the platform Microsoft is investing in. The longer you wait, the more complex and costly the upgrade becomes.
No. Data migration is a core part of every upgrade we run. Historical records, open transactions, and master data all come across to the new platform. We verify data integrity at every stage so your team starts on the new system with confidence.
Every customisation in your current system is reviewed as part of the upgrade assessment. Some carry across directly, some need to be rebuilt on the new platform, and some may no longer be needed. We document everything and handle the rebuild as part of the upgrade scope.
It depends on the complexity of your current setup, the volume of data, and how many customisations need to be rebuilt. A straightforward NAV to Business Central upgrade typically takes eight to twelve weeks. More complex AX to Finance and Operations upgrades take longer. We give you a realistic timeline after the assessment.
Yes. We structure every upgrade to run alongside your current system. Your team keeps working on the old platform until go-live day when the transition happens in a planned and controlled way.
