Bridge to the Cloud: Moving from On-Prem to Cloud Deployments

Bridge to the Cloud: Microsoft’s Latest Promotion for Business Central On Premises Users

Some things never get old. And some things withstand time and tide. No matter how glossy or nostalgic certain things are, there need to be upgrades that would make our life better and convenient. Not just you, we equally love Dynamics NAV, Dynamics GP, and Dynamics SL. But sometimes, you need to look a step farther like how Microsoft envisioned Dynamics 365 Business Central for propelling your business forward.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is the next-gen of robust business applications that help fasten your digital transformation. These applications assist your business to grow, innovate and evolve by unifying the backend capabilities into one.

This purpose-fueled platform also acts as a groundbreaking solution to satisfy your customers’ needs, engage employees, reinvent products and identify new business goals.

When your company grows, your server will need to grow, too. With an on-premise server, growth is unaligned. Scalability innovation. Not just that, you’ll need to make extra space for you as an extra server. But whereas with the cloud, scalability is hassle-free and requires no extra equipment. Host it in the cloud. Pay for what you use. Relieve off the extra burden and office space.

Existing Dynamics Price List (DPL) customers who have licensed Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premises, Dynamics NAV, Dynamics GP, or Dynamics SL can renew their Enhancement on a monthly basis through CSP and receive Dynamics 365 Business Central online licenses at a 60% discounted price.
