Specifications of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Edition

There has been much buzz about the new upgraded version of Dynamics 365 Business Central. As much as the new software has gained popularity, Microsoft Business Central Solution for Business has also given rise to queries as to whether Dynamics 365 Business Central is the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, and if so then, what happens to the already-existing Microsoft Business Central cloud-only product? Is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central just a change of name from Microsoft Dynamics NAV?

In this article we will look at the specifications of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and learn about its licensing and deployment options.

What is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business central? How is NAV different from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?

When it was first launched in 2018, business central was a dubbed version of NAV in the cloud. It was, in fact, the first featured version of Dynamic NAV on cloud. Its initial goal was to place Microsoft in the accounting software and in the ERP market. It was for the sake of making Microsoft compatible against other cloud players like Oracle NetSuite. However, that has changed and NAV has evolved into Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Business Edition. It comes with optimized and integrated functionalities and differs in certain aspects from NAV.

Now, Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Business Central is a full-fledged business solution itself with both cloud and on-premises deployment options. Just like NAV, it also has perpetual licensing facilities. In terms of subscription, the Business Central Essential Pack is similar to the Dynamics 365 Starter Pack, while the premium version of Microsoft Business Central Solution for Business offers, to its users, enhances functionalities like the extended version of NAV.

However, the user licensing is different in case of Microsoft Business Central Solution for Business, when compared to Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
