Move to Business Central with Confidence – From Any System
Whether you are running Dynamics GP, Dynamics SL, Dynamics NAV, QuickBooks, Sage, or any other accounting or ERP platform, migrating to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is one of the most strategic investments a growing organization can make. Business Central is Microsoft’s flagship cloud ERP for the mid-market – always current, always secure, and deeply integrated with the Microsoft tools your team already uses every day.
With over 28 years of Microsoft Dynamics implementation experience, MIG has guided hundreds of organizations through ERP migrations of every size and complexity. We understand the data structures, the accounting nuances, and the operational workflows that need to be preserved when you move. Our migration approach is methodical, transparent, and built around minimizing disruption to your business.
Is It Time to Move to Business Central?
If any of the following apply to your organization, it may be time to evaluate a migration to Business Central:
- You are running Dynamics GP or Dynamics SL and want to move to a modern cloud platform with lower total cost of ownership.
- You have outgrown QuickBooks, Sage 50, or other entry-level accounting software and need multi-entity, multi-currency, or consolidated reporting.
- Your current ERP requires manual updates, dedicated server infrastructure, or expensive IT administration.
- Your team is working in disconnected spreadsheets, standalone tools, and manual data re-entry between systems.
- You want access to Microsoft Copilot AI, Power BI, Power Automate, and the full Microsoft 365 ecosystem within your ERP.
- Your current vendor has announced end-of-life or reduced support for your platform.
Migration Paths We Support
Dynamics GP to Business Central
For current Dynamics GP users, moving to Business Central is the natural next step. Business Central is the modern, cloud-first successor to GP’s accounting and ERP capabilities. MIG has deep expertise in both platforms — we know exactly how your GP data structures map to Business Central, which configurations translate directly, and which areas require careful planning.
What we migrate:
- Chart of accounts and account structures
- Vendor and customer master data
- Open purchase orders, sales orders, and invoices
- Historical transaction data (configurable by year)
- Item catalog and inventory balances
- Fixed asset records and depreciation history
- Bank account configurations
MIG also helps you take advantage of the Microsoft GP to Business Central migration tooling, which automates the movement of core data and reduces migration time significantly compared to a manual approach.
Dynamics SL to Business Central
For current Dynamics SL users — particularly project-based organizations in professional services, government contracting, and construction — Business Central’s project management module provides a modern replacement for SL’s job costing and project accounting capabilities. MIG’s SL expertise means we understand your project structures, billing configurations, and reporting requirements before we begin the migration.
What we migrate:
- Chart of accounts and financial dimensions
- Customer and vendor master records
- Open project records, job budgets, and WIP balances
- Historical job cost transactions
- Inventory and item records
- Open AR and AP transactions
QuickBooks to Business Central
For organizations that have outgrown QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online, Business Central provides the financial depth, operational breadth, and multi-entity capabilities that QuickBooks cannot support at scale. The transition from QuickBooks to Business Central is one of the most common migrations MIG manages — we have a proven methodology for mapping QuickBooks chart of accounts, customer and vendor lists, open transactions, and historical data into Business Central.
What we migrate:
- Chart of accounts
- Customer and vendor lists
- Open invoices and bills
- Bank account configurations
- Historical transactions (configurable by period)
- Item lists and inventory quantities
Dynamics NAV to Business Central
Business Central is the direct successor to Dynamics NAV (Navision), rebuilt from the ground up as a cloud-first application. If your organization is still running NAV 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, or 2018, Microsoft has released upgrade tooling that significantly accelerates the move to Business Central. MIG can evaluate your current NAV environment, assess customization complexity, and recommend the most efficient path to Business Central.
Other ERP and Accounting Systems
MIG has experience migrating to Business Central from a wide range of platforms including Sage 50, Sage 100, Sage 300, Acumatica, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics AX, and custom or industry-specific accounting systems. If your current platform is not listed here, contact us — our team will evaluate your data structures and recommend the right migration approach.
Our Migration Methodology
MIG follows a proven, structured migration methodology built on Microsoft’s Sure Step framework and refined through hundreds of successful implementations.
Discovery and Assessment
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your current system — your chart of accounts, data volumes, customizations, integrations, and reporting requirements. We identify what can be migrated directly, what needs to be transformed, and what needs to be rebuilt in Business Central.
Business Central Configuration
Before any data moves, we configure Business Central to match your workflows. Chart of accounts, dimensions, posting groups, approval workflows, and business rules are all set up and validated in a test environment.
Data Extraction and Cleansing
We extract your data from the source system and run it through a cleansing process to identify duplicates, incomplete records, and data quality issues. Clean data in your new system is critical — migration is an opportunity to fix problems that have accumulated in your current system over the years.
Data Migration and Validation
Using Microsoft's migration tooling and MIG's proprietary scripts, we load your data into Business Central and run a comprehensive validation process. Every migrated record is reconciled against the source system to ensure accuracy. Trial balances, customer aging, vendor aging, and inventory valuations are all verified before go-live.
Integration Setup
If Business Central needs to connect to other systems — payroll, eCommerce, CRM, shipping, or banking — we configure and test those integrations during the migration phase, not after go-live.
Training
Our US-based certified instructors deliver hands-on training using your actual migrated data. Your team learns Business Central in the context of your real business processes, not generic sample scenarios.
Go-Live and Post-Migration Support
We provide on-site or remote support during your go-live period to ensure a smooth transition. After go-live, our support plans (Basic, Plus, and Premium) provide ongoing assistance as your team builds confidence in the new system.
