Are you considering an upgrade?
Are you under pressure from your Dynamics Nav Solution Centre to upgrade?
Do you want confirmation of the need, process, costs and benefits?
Need to know how long it will take?
Need to understand what the latest version provides over and above your current version?
If the answer is yes to any of the above, you are on the right page!
There is a Microsoft web page that confirms the functionality differences between your current version and the latest.
This is located here. This is a very good tool for a high level view.
The big question.
Unless there is a good reason to upgrade from your current version (see reasons to upgrade section on this page) you do not need to.
A few myths as to reasons usually provided to you as a reason to upgrade. These are just examples. There are more but if you are unsure call us on 01949 831213 to discuss further at no charge.
Your current version of Dynamics Nav / Navision is not supported.
This may be true from your Dynamics Nav Solution Centre's view point but we support old and new versions of Dynamics Nav / Navision including versions 2, 3, 4, 5, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2016
The additional functionality you require is in the latest version.
This may be true but it is worth checking. We can help there. It is not uncommon for end users to be told some functionality does not exist in their version where it does and the reason it is not visible is down to permissions or their licence.
Equally it may be given the costs of the upgrade to the latest version and the level of functionality required, a development on your existing version may be more cost effective.
This is usually confirmed via the business case i.e. there is a tangible cost benefit to upgrading to the latest version.
These are usually the use of additional functionality provided by the latest version, the streamlining of your existing systems to fit into Dynamics Nav as an ERP.
As long as you are on a maintenance agreement with Microsoft (usually charged annually as a % of actual licence cost (pre discount) via your Dynamics Nav Solution Centre), the new version licences are free.
The costs are around potentially new IT equipment required, new operating systems required but more likely around the time and effort for moving your current Dynamics Nav / Navision version to the latest version.
