Navision and Business Central compared
From a costly legacy system to a flexible cloud solution
Starting point
High Navision fees
Navision costs CHF 14’000 per year, which represents a significant financial burden.
Expensive support
Annual support costs of CHF 2’000 illustrate the substantial maintenance expenses.
Limited mobility
Navision is often accessible only on-site, which severely limits flexibility and mobility in an increasingly mobile working world.

Navision relies on older technologies that do not work well with modern cloud services and APIs, limiting efficiency and scalability.
Target
Access from anywhere
Secure access anytime and on any device supports remote work and improves collaboration.
Cost efficiency and scalability
Subscriptions make IT costs predictable. Cloud scalability adjusts resources to demand, reduces costs, and supports flexibility.

The transition provides access to a modern cloud platform with regular updates and no additional hardware.

Migration costs
Switching from NAV to Business Central
When switching from NAV to Business Central, you need to account for both one-time and recurring expenses. The process involves various cost factors that must be carefully planned and assessed.

Costs are divided into one-time and ongoing expenses. One-time costs include data transfer, basic configuration, project management, and necessary customizations. Ongoing costs for licensing, maintenance, and continued support are added to these.
