What’s meant by End of Mainstream Support for Dynamics NAV? 

It means that Microsoft will not be improving the product anymore. You’ll not receive non-security hotfixes from the technology giant until and unless you extend the support contract. Else, all claims to warranty will end. Microsoft will not entertain requests for additional features or design alterations. This is when you need the assistance of Korcomptenz providing NAV support services to make sure that your business operations run without any interruptions and that too at very budget-friendly prices.

Why Upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018? 

Several Dynamics NAV customers having older versions opt for support and personalization from a reliable partner. However, an upgrade will be necessary down the line, and there are a few key benefits of the upgrade if done quickly. Here is why you must upgrade with the assistance of a Dynamics NAV partner such as Korcomptenz: 

  • Businesses having versions prior to 2013 might need to fully re-implement, and others using 2013 or later versions may need an upgrade.  
  • No need to fret over historical data. We’ll help you migrate and preserve all your information. 
  • The recent version has additional capabilities and that includes Office 365 as well as Power BI. So, it’s easy to access information rather than jumping from one application to another.  
  • Intricate customizations could be outdated and so, substitute these with native Microsoft features so that they will run flawlessly and enhance stability. 
  • Dynamics NAV 2018 and Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Business Central have similar code base. Therefore, moving from one ERP to another is simplified.
