Microsoft Dynamics NAV is now Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Microsoft Dynamics NAV became Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in 2018. The name change was part of Microsoft’s effort to unify its Dynamics suite of business applications under the Dynamics 365 brand.
As of January 2023, All versions of Dynamics NAV are no longer in mainstream support from Microsoft. Dynamics NAV 2013 and 2013 R2 also went out of Extended Support in January 2023.
Although Synergy Technology can still support current customers who still have a on-premise installation of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, it is strongly recommended that all users still on Dynamics NAV migrate to Microsoft’s cloud-based ERP solution, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
You can learn more about Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, on our main Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Page.
