If you're running Business Central or Dynamics on-premise, you're carrying costs and risks the cloud version has already solved, servers to maintain, backups to manage, and upgrade projects every time you need a new version. Upgrading to Business Central in the cloud ends that cycle: Microsoft updates your system automatically, your team works from anywhere, and your ERP connects natively with Microsoft 365. The question most businesses have is what happens to their data and customisations in the move.
Advantage Business Systems is a certified Microsoft Solutions Partner specialising in Dynamics 365 Business Central cloud upgrades for UK SMEs. We manage on-premise to cloud migrations end-to-end, assessing your current setup, preserving your data and customisations, and moving you to the cloud with minimal disruption. Book a free upgrade review and we'll give you a clear cloud migration plan.
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.
