Before you commit

You may not need Business Central at all

An ERP migration is one of the more expensive things a mid-sized business can undertake, and it is frequently sold as the answer to a problem that is really an integration problem. If your accounting package is fine and the pain is that it does not talk to your job system, joining them costs a fraction of replacing them.

Business Central genuinely earns its place when you have outgrown what an accounting package can do: real inventory, multi-entity consolidation, manufacturing, project costing. We do not sell the licences, so we have no reason to push you either way.

Compare integration instead

What a migration actually involves

The balances are the easy part of the move

Opening balances take a day. What takes the project is the history you want to keep, the integrations that pointed at the old system, the reports built on tables that no longer exist, and the customisations nobody has looked at in years.

What has to move

  • Your current system
  • Open transactions
  • Historical data
  • Integrations
  • Reports and customisations
What we do

One verified migration

Data extracted, mapped and validated against the source. Integrations rebuilt on supported APIs. Reporting reproduced and reconciled. Both systems run side by side until the numbers agree.

What you get

  • Opening balances that reconcile on day one, not after adjustment
  • History you can still search rather than an archive nobody opens
  • Integrations and reporting working before the old system is switched off
Where you are coming from

Where your move to Business Central starts from

Each starts from a different place and none of them is a straight import.

  1. From MYOB

    Usually driven by inventory or multi-entity needs. The chart of accounts rarely maps cleanly, and payroll needs a separate decision.

  2. From QuickBooks

    QuickBooks to Business Central is a big step in size, so we check first whether you have outgrown QuickBooks or just need it connected. QuickBooks Online, often called QBO, is read through its API, so QBO to Business Central starts from live data. QuickBooks Desktop to Business Central starts from the company file on your server.

  3. From Xero

    Often triggered by manufacturing or project costing. Xero is excellent within its scope, so the honest question is whether you have genuinely outgrown it.

  4. From Dynamics NAV

    Microsoft calls it a successor; treat it as a migration. Most customisations do not carry across and reports need rebuilding.

  5. From Dynamics GP

    A different data model and a long customisation history. The audit of what is still used usually pays for itself.

  6. From Greentree or another ERP

    Extraction is the hard part, not loading. Older ERPs guard their data, and getting a clean, validated set out is most of the work.

How the move usually goes

The data moved, but the reports and links broke

  • Balances migrated but the reports were never rebuilt
  • Integrations pointed at the old system and quietly stopped
  • History was archived to a spreadsheet nobody can search
  • Customisations were rebuilt before anyone asked if they were still used

How it should go

Keep the old system on until the numbers agree

  • Reporting reproduced and checked against the old system first
  • Integrations rebuilt on supported APIs and documented
  • A deliberate decision on history, with the cost of each option shown
  • Every customisation assessed: keep, rebuild, or retire

Scoped and quoted before you commit. You own the code, the documentation and the credentials at the end of it.

Common questions

What owners ask before moving to Business Central

Is Business Central the right step up from MYOB or Xero?

Sometimes, and often not. If the problem is that your accounting package cannot handle inventory, multi-entity consolidation, manufacturing or project costing, then a real ERP is the answer. If the problem is that three systems do not talk to each other, an integration costs a fraction of an ERP migration and solves it. We will tell you which one you have before you commit to either.

What does a QuickBooks to Business Central migration involve?

Moving from QuickBooks to Dynamics 365 Business Central is a move from an accounting package to an ERP, so the chart of accounts is usually redesigned rather than copied. QuickBooks classes and locations become Business Central dimensions, customers and suppliers are cleaned before they load, and open invoices, bills and opening balances are checked against QuickBooks before you switch. Payroll needs its own decision, because Business Central does not replace an Australian payroll system on its own.

What is the difference between Business Central and Wiise?

Wiise is built on Business Central. It is the same Microsoft platform underneath, localised for Australian payroll, tax and banking, and sold with local support. The migration work is largely the same either way. The decision is about how much localisation and hand-holding you want, and what you are prepared to pay for it.

We are on Dynamics NAV or GP. Is this an upgrade or a migration?

Microsoft positions it as the successor, but treat it as a migration. The data model differs, most customisations do not carry across, and reports usually need rebuilding. Calling it an upgrade is how projects get under-scoped.

What happens to our customisations?

They get catalogued first: what is still used, what has become standard in Business Central since it was written, and what can be retired. Retiring is frequently the cheapest and best outcome, and it is the decision nobody wants to make without evidence.

How much history comes across?

As much as you need, and the answer should be a decision rather than a default. Open transactions and balances always. Full history is a choice between migrating it, keeping the old system read-only, or archiving it somewhere searchable. Each has a cost and we will lay them out.

Do you implement Business Central?

No, and we will say so early. Licensing and implementation sit with a Microsoft partner. We do the work around it: extracting and validating the data, rebuilding the integrations, reproducing the reporting, and building whatever the platform does not cover. Being independent of the licence sale is the point.
