The older your version is, the more likely it is that Microsoft will discontinue support. Then, an upgrade becomes more of a necessity than an option.

Starting Point: for the Upgrade to Dynamics 365 Business Central

Our experts handle the ERP upgrade for you. However, not every upgrade process looks the same. Here are the possible approaches:

Technical Upgrade only

You have no capacity to deal with processes: You get the latest version of Dynamics 365 Business Central, whereby your existing data and business processes are migrated into the system without optimization.

Departments individually

You want to upgrade Dynamics NAV/Navision, but want to proceed department by department: We transfer the departments/areas to the new system step-by-step one after the other.

Complete Restart

The big picture: you take the opportunity of the ERP upgrade to review your processes and realize efficiency gains, giving you a new system that realistically reflects your business and contains no legacy issues.

The Business Central Upgrade Process - Reaching the Goal Together

Below, we outline the typical path to your personalized offer for an upgrade.

You will notice that we deliberately refrain from using a specification sheet or a requirements document for the ERP upgrade. For us, the collaborative agile development of the project plan holds high importance.

  • Non-Binding Inquiry
    You express your interest in an ERP upgrade. In your inquiry, you tell us about your project or the challenges you are facing.
  • Qualification of the Request

    We review your request. So that we can provide you with the right contact person, we will usually get in touch with you immediately to gather some more information.

  • Initial Consultation

    You have an appointment with one of our experts. In a non-binding initial meeting, you get to know each other and both have the chance to check whether the chemistry is right. We will also discuss your project in more detail.

    • Content of the appointment

      We talk about the resources required, such as budget and time frame. The personnel capacities on your side are also an important topic. Why? In addition to their regular day-to-day business, employees from all relevant areas must work alongside the IT company, test functions, learn how to use the application and provide feedback. The attitude must be right at this point and the employees must be able to get involved in the project.
  • Workshop

    The workshop serves to identify individual tasks as part of the ERP Upgrade. At the end, a budget framework to be commissioned is created.

    • Content of the appointment

      The workshop (preferably in person) takes place regularly from both sides in a larger group. From our side
      involved and authorized decision-makers take part, and you should be represented by the management and your future project management. We need your detailed requirements so that we can prepare a detailed offer. Among other things, we use User Stories that follow the pattern: “To have this benefit, I as a user would like to be able to do this”. We define these together.

      The result of the workshop is a list of individual tasks, which are placed in an evaluation system by calculation. At the end, a budget framework to be commissioned is created.

  • Concept Including Proposal

    After the workshop, we write the concept including the offer (monetary and time expenditure). Depending on your wishes, we will prepare a fixed-price offer.

    It is then up to you to decide whether you would like to tackle the project with us. If you agree, we will start the project together according to our anaptis project methodology.

    FAQs about ERP Upgrade

    • How much does an ERP upgrade cost?

      The costs of an ERP upgrade are highly individual and vary from company to company because they depend on many factors (e.g., deployment method, requirements, number of users, current data quality, internal effort). For a cloud-based ERP solution, the subscription fee is crucial, which you pay monthly or annually per user. For a local installation/On-Premises version, one-time license costs (per user), an annual maintenance contract, as well as internal infrastructure and potentially personnel costs are incurred.

      In our blog article “Kauf von ERP-Software: Wie Sie Ihr Budget definieren” (German article), we discuss how you can roughly estimate the budget for an ERP project.

      Alternatively, there is the option to lease your ERP project with us, if desired. For example, you can work with our leasing partner MMV and pay off your investment amount through an attractive monthly rate.

    • Is it possible to get a fixed-price offer?

      The fact is: Nobody wants hidden costs. Upon request, we create a final fixed-price offer after having conducted a thorough analysis. How does that sound to you? This aspect is particularly appreciated by most interested companies.

    • How does an ERP upgrade work?

      There are different methods of ERP upgrades. Generally, a distinction is made between the waterfall model or an agile approach. We have developed our own agile methodology: First, we conduct the rough planning within 3-4 days (all necessary functionalities, project start, framework conditions).

      Next, we proceed with the implementation in 4-week iterative phases or sprints. In each phase, we plan the sprint, conceptualize the tasks and the budget, and execute them. At the end of each phase, the customer must test the implementations and assess the quality. Only then does the next implementation phase start. Uncompleted tasks are carried over to the next implementation phase. This process is repeated in each of the implementation phases.

      In the end, the implementations are compiled. We then train your team and let them thoroughly test the system before going live.

    • Will we have a designated contact person?

      Certainly. You will have a dedicated personal contact who will assist you in setting up our products and will be there for you in all matters afterwards. This is precisely what our customers benefit from compared to larger service-providing companies. After all, our project managers typically know their customers for many years and can often provide support or anticipate needs with an objective perspective – friendly and professionally.

      In addition to personalized support, the following reasons speak for us:

      • Close-to-standard and flexible approach
      • Fair usage rights to the code
      • Honest and fair statements
      • Experienced and reliable company
    • Does anaptis assist with change management?

      Certainly. For us, digital transformation encompasses technology, processes, and above all, people. Employees should therefore by no means be left out. On the one hand, we bring expertise in the field of change management, and on the other hand, we collaborate with the Münster-based startup Echometer. The company aims to make processes such as software implementations smoother by regularly soliciting feedback from employees. If you are interested, you can simply add this service.

    • Does anaptis assist with process optimization?

      Of course, we also advise you on process optimization. We do this automatically in every project, as we strive to transfer the optimal current state of business processes into the software.

      There have also been cases where we have only analyzed the processes of a company or department and highlighted improvement suggestions – without the software aspect. Naturally, it is then possible or advisable to proceed with the implementation together as well.
