Microsoft’s NAV ERP System Is Phasing Out: Why You Need to Act Now and How Odoo Can Save You Money

By 2028, Microsoft will officially sunset Dynamics NAV (formerly Navision), leaving around 8,000 businesses with no support, no updates, and significant security risks. While this might seem like a future problem, the reality is that the transition to a new ERP system takes time, careful planning, and a trusted partner to make sure your business doesn’t miss a beat.

For businesses still relying on Dynamics NAV, now is the time to act—and SJS Dynamics is the perfect partner to guide you through this critical transition.

What Happens When NAV Support Ends?

Once Microsoft stops supporting NAV, your business will face some serious challenges:

Security Risks: No security patches means you’re exposed to cyber threats that could cost your business in more ways than one(erpsoftwareblog)(msdynamicsworld).
Compliance Issues: Many industries rely on ERP systems to help meet compliance standards. Without updates, meeting these requirements could become time-consuming and costly(erpsoftwareblog).
Operational Downtime: Unsupported systems are prone to performance issues, leading to disruptions that slow your business down(wiise).

The key question you need to ask yourself is: Can you afford not to migrate?

Odoo: The Cost-Effective, Flexible Solution

Enter Odoo, an open-source ERP platform that provides a powerful alternative to Microsoft’s costly Business Central solution. Here’s why more companies are making the switch:

Low Total Cost of Ownership: Odoo’s open-source model means fewer upfront costs. You won’t be paying the premium licensing fees that come with Microsoft’s Business Central, making it a budget-friendly solution(erpsoftwareblog).
Modular Flexibility: Odoo’s wide range of modules allows you to build exactly what your business needs—from CRM to inventory to HR. Pay only for what you use, and scale up as your business grows(wiise).
Seamless Customization: With Odoo, there’s no “one-size-fits-all.” Whether you’re in manufacturing, retail, or professional services, Odoo can be tailored to fit your unique operational processes(wiise).
