Microsoft Dynamics NAV is now
Switching from NAV to Business Central doesn't have to be difficult (thankfully!)
In October 2018, the name Microsoft Dynamics NAV was changed to Dynamics 365 Business Central
This means that the update for NAV 2018 is not called ‘NAV 2019’, but instead ‘Dynamics 365 Business Central’.
The cloud version of NAV is called Dynamics 365 Business Central Cloud (rented solution only – SaaS). The old NAV On-Premise version is called Dynamics 365 Business Central On-Premise (can be both rented and owned).
Are you ready to jump into the Cloud with Dynamics 365 Business Central?

Software is no longer supported
The main risk of Dynamic NAV is that older versions will no longer be supported at some point.
Why is this important? The updates and new versions released by Microsoft do not only contain more functionality, but often also security patches. So possible data leaks are closed.
