Still running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premise? Maintaining servers, managing backups and planning regular system upgrades can increase IT costs and limit your ability to take advantage of the latest cloud capabilities.
Advantage Business Systems provides Business Central cloud upgrade services for UK businesses, helping organisations migrate from on-premise installations to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in the cloud.
As an experienced Microsoft Solutions Partner, our consultants manage the entire Business Central on-premise to cloud migration, from initial system assessment and upgrade planning to data migration, customisation updates, testing, training and ongoing support.
Moving to Business Central Cloud can help reduce infrastructure costs, simplify system updates, improve remote accessibility and provide closer integration with Microsoft 365, Power BI and Copilot.
Whether you're running an older version of Business Central or planning your next ERP upgrade, we'll help you move to the cloud securely and with minimal disruption.
Book a free Business Central Cloud Upgrade Review to discuss your current environment and explore your migration options.
Once you're on Business Central cloud, Microsoft updates your system automatically twice a year, no more disruptive upgrade projects, patches or version lock-in.
Your data, customisations, integrations and reports are assessed, migrated and validated through the upgrade, so you keep everything that works in your current system.
Cloud BC removes the servers, backups and infrastructure your on-premise system depends on, cutting hardware costs and the maintenance burden on your IT team.
Most BC cloud upgrades complete in weeks, not months. Our structured process moves you to the cloud quickly, with a clear timeline agreed before work begins.
Cloud BC connects natively with Microsoft 365, Teams, Power BI and Copilot, and your team can access it securely from anywhere, on any device.
We manage the upgrade end-to-end and stay on as your BC partner afterwards, supporting your team and helping you use the new capabilities the cloud unlocks.
We start with a free upgrade review, assessing your current BC or Dynamics version, customisations, integrations and data to confirm your route to the cloud.
You receive a fixed upgrade plan covering what's preserved, what's rebuilt, the testing approach and your cutover date, with costs agreed before work begins.
We prepare your cloud environment and bring your customisations across, rebuilding legacy modifications as extensions so they survive future updates.
Your data is migrated to the cloud and reconciled against your on-premise system, so you can verify everything balances before you switch over.
Your team tests the upgraded system with real processes before cutover, with training on what's new, so the move to cloud holds no surprises.
After cutover we support your team through the transition, then stay on as your BC partner, so you get full value from auto-updates and new cloud features.
An on-premise to cloud upgrade lives or dies on how well your existing system is understood, particularly customisations built years ago that nobody fully documented. You need certified specialists who've done this before and a partner who'll still be there after cutover.
Advantage Business Systems is a Microsoft Solutions Partner, accredited across Business Applications, and Cyber Essentials certified, so your data is handled securely throughout the migration to cloud. Our team has upgraded UK businesses to Business Central cloud across manufacturing, distribution, professional services and not-for-profit, and we continue to support those customers today, because the upgrade is where the cloud journey begins, not where it ends.
It is the right time to consider your cloud upgrade if you are:
