Two ways to move to Business Central. A master data migration gives you a clean start within a fixed price range. A full conversion brings all your history, customisations and integrations across and is priced after an analysis.
- Reconciled figures either way
- Our own conversion tools
- C/AL rewritten in AL
- The same people throughout
All prices exclude VAT. Business Central and Microsoft 365 licences come on top.
A clean start in Business Central with the data you need tomorrow.
Your whole solution moved across: data, history, customisations and integrations.
Two options, side by side
The difference is history, customisations and integrations. That decides the work, and so the price.
Master data migration
A clean start in Business Central with the data you need tomorrow.
- Chart of accounts and dimensions
- Customers, vendors, items and prices
- Open customer and vendor entries
- Opening balance
- Reconciliation of the migrated figures
Old history is archived, not migrated. Danish bookkeeping law (bogføringsloven) requires it to be retrievable for five years, so we make sure it can be looked up.
- Posted history
- Rebuilding your own customisations (C/AL → AL)
- Integrations
- Report layouts
- Continia setup
- User testing and training beyond one workshop
Full conversion
Your whole solution moved across: data, history, customisations and integrations.
- All posted history and master data, converted with our own conversion tools
- Your own customisations rebuilt as AL extensions
- Integrations to webshop, 3PL, bank and EDI moved to APIs
- Report layouts and Continia
- User testing, on-site go-live and hypercare
The price depends on how many customisations and integrations you have, and is set after an analysis of your solution.

How a migration runs
Whichever option: you reconcile the figures before go-live, and you test on your own data, not in a demo company.
- Analysis
Version, customisations, integrations and data. This is where we choose the option together.
- Trial migration
Data moves to a sandbox and the figures are reconciled against the old system.
- Testing
You test on your own data. With a full conversion, also customisations and integrations.
- Go-live
Final migration, reconciliation of balances and open entries, and you're running.
What people often ask us
Why does a full conversion cost more than a master data migration?
Because every step involves more work. History has to be mapped and reconciled for every posted entry across versions. Your own customisations have to be rewritten as extensions so Business Central can update without them breaking. Integrations have to be rebuilt and tested. And there is more for users to test.
Can we start with master data and bring the history across later?
The history can be archived and kept searchable, so you can look it up when you need it. A full conversion later is a separate project.
Is setting up Business Central included in the master data migration?
The master data migration covers moving and reconciling the data in the list. The Danish setup with VAT, posting groups, bank and e-invoicing is described in the starter package. After the analysis you're told what your project needs to include, and what it costs, before we start.
Which option suits us?
The analysis decides. If you have few customisations, no integrations and can live with looking up old history in an archive, the master data migration is the simple route. If history, customisations and integrations need to come along, it is a full conversion.
What does it mean that history must be retrievable for five years?
Danish bookkeeping law requires accounting records to be kept for five years from the end of the financial year they relate to. That is why we archive the old history so it can be retrieved, even after the old system is shut down.
Which systems can you migrate from?
Navision and Dynamics NAV in every version, C5, Concorde and XAL, Axapta, e-conomic and Business Central on-premises. We convert other accounting systems with our own conversion code.
