The biggest NAV to BC migration fears (and what you should REALLY worry about)
Session Overview: Even though migrating NAV to Business Central helps you maximize your investment, you may be apprehensive about how the migration will actually impact your business and workflows.
You may have questions, concerns, or fears like:
What about all my modifications to NAV?
Will my current NAV integrations still work?
Will I lose access to my on-premise SQL database?
Will I need to redo or change my data recovery plan?
What if my team can’t figure out the new UI?
In this session, we’ll address these concerns and more so you can confidently plan for your move to Business Central. We will also tell you about some important concerns that you may not have thought about. You’ll hear from Michael Brodie, a 25-year veteran Business Central developer, who will pull back the curtain on what’s going on backstage during a system migration. You will also hear from Julie Shoemaker, who has worked on a number of NAV-BC migrations and will quell some of your fears.
