Microsoft’s ERP offering for the SMB segment called Dynamics NAV has been historically available to customers in an on-premise deployment mode. Customers have had the option to host it either in their on-premise infrastructure or some third party cloud infrastructure. Keeping in line with its vision of Cloud First, Microsoft launched SAAS based Business Central bringing Dynamics NAV to cloud.
Till now Dynamics Business Central was available on cloud only. With the October 2018 release an on-premise offering of Business Central is also available. Dynamics NAV customers can now upgrade to Business Central on premise, move to the cloud, or adopt a hybrid approach. We have listed down few Business Central features from the latest October 2018 release.
On Cloud, Hybrid & On-Premises Availability: With October 2018 release Dynamics NAV transitioned to Business Central on Premise. Business Central is no longer a “cloud only” application.
