What does moving from on-premises to the cloud involve?

To migrate from on-premises to the cloud, you need to move your existing Dynamics CRM, Dynamics AX, Dynamics NAV, or other supported Dynamics applications, the associated data, any customizations, and the current integrations that are being hosted on locally deployed solutions to the appropriate Dynamics 365 cloud options. Microsoft recommends that you assess your environment in order to develop a migration strategy and then transfer the various solution components and data to the target Dynamics 365 online/cloud solution as required, and it might also be necessary to redesign some parts of the solution in order to make use of the cloud features.

  • Assess your Dynamics environment
  • Identify data, customizations, and dependencies
  • Select the appropriate Dynamics 365 cloud platform
  • Migrate and validate business-critical data
  • Modernize integrations and custom development
  • Test, deploy, and optimize the cloud environment

Our Dynamics 365 On-Premise to Cloud Migration Services
Dynamics 365 On-Premise to Cloud Migration Services

Seamlessly migrate your Dynamics 365 environment to the cloud with migration services.

Dynamics CRM Migration

Microsoft has established a particular migration path for the supported versions of Dynamics CRM and Dynamics 365 running on-premises so that customer records, sales processes, service data, workflows, integrations, and historical information can be transferred from those supported on-premises environments to Dynamics 365 online.

Dynamics AX Migration

Assess the business processes, the customizations, the data, the integrations, and the upgrade requirements in order to upgrade Dynamics AX environments that are eligible for the upgrade to Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management.

Transitioning from Dynamics NAV to Business Central

If you are migrating Dynamics NAV environments that are supported to Business Central online, you should carry out planning relating to the companies concerned, the volumes of data, the extensions, database problems, testing, and the final move to the cloud.

Custom Dynamics Modernization

Carefully analyse the Dynamics environments which have been extensively customised, document the current functionality, identify any dependencies, and determine what should be migrated, redesigned, replaced or retired.

Moving and examining the data

Before you deal with business-critical data, you must define the source and target systems, the migration entities, the data volumes, the methods of extraction and transformation, the migration sequence, and the validation procedures.

Migration involving integration and customization

Check the APIs, third-party applications, workflows, reports, interfaces, and custom components and make any necessary changes so that they match the target Dynamics 365 cloud architecture.

Dynamics 365 Cloud Migration Solutions

Every on-premise environment has its own versions, custom changes, databases, integrations, and business needs. Instead of using just one way to migrate, DynovateTech plans the migration path based on your current Dynamics setup.

Legacy CRM Modernization

As part of the process of modernising sales, customer service, workflows, integrations, and reporting, transfer any on-premises Dynamics CRM or Dynamics 365 environments that are supported to Dynamics 365 online.

ERP Cloud Transformation

Upgrade Dynamics AX and the other enterprise ERP applications to the relevant Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management solutions.

Business Central Migration & Modernization

Set up the Dynamics NAV environments that are currently in use so that they can be transitioned to Business Central online by systematically carrying out data migration, assessing the extensions, testing and performing a controlled cutover.

Data Migration & Governance

Before and after the cutover, as well as regarding the data entities, the dependencies, the transformation rules, the cleansing processes, the migration sequencing and the validation, Microsoft specifically recommends that these aspects should be included in the Dynamics 365 data migration strategy.

Integration Modernization

Improve the current interfaces and connect Dynamics 365 to on-premise systems, third-party applications, APIs, Azure services, and various business platforms where necessary.

Customized Environment Migration

When the Dynamics installations have been greatly modified or are very complex, you should assess the custom functionality and determine which sections can be migrated, redesigned, rebuilt, replaced or retired.

Why Businesses Choose Our Dynamics 365 Cloud Migration Services

Microsoft points out that it's not a simple matter of moving the database from an on-premise Dynamics environment into the cloud, since a cloud migration can involve setting up new environments, carrying out a compatibility review, migrating the solutions and the data, and also redesigning some parts of the solution to make use of the newer cloud features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Dynamics 365 ERP implementation with DynovateTech.

It involves moving the Dynamics workloads, data, configurations, customizations, and integrations from an on-premises Dynamics environment to the relevant Dynamics 365 online/cloud solution.

At the moment, Microsoft provides guidance on how to migrate Dynamics AX, Dynamics CRM/Dynamics 365 on-premises, Dynamics GP, Dynamics NAV, and Dynamics SL. The exact migration path depends on the product, the version, the data in question, the customizations, and the target solution.

Certainly, organisations that are using the on-premises versions of Dynamics CRM and Dynamics 365 can follow Microsoft's recommendations when migrating to Dynamics 365 online and Microsoft Dataverse, but whether or not they are eligible will depend on the product version and the technical environment.

In Dynamics AX environments that are supported, it is possible to follow Microsoft's upgrade and migration paths leading to the Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations apps, the appropriate method depending on the AX version, the customizations, the data, the integrations, and the requirements of the target system.

Dynamics NAV environments can be migrated to Business Central online. When you are preparing for such a migration, you should consider the NAV version, the size of the database, the number of companies, the extent of the data, the extensions, the environment setup, testing, and the final cutover.

It needn't be that way; each customization should be judged according to its own advantages. Microsoft recommends that cloud compatibility be considered and that certain aspects of a solution be redesigned when necessary in order to make use of the current cloud capabilities.

Structured migration includes carrying out data mapping, planning the extraction and transformation, cleansing, validation, reconciliation, testing, and carrying out the predefined activities both before and after the cutover. The particular controls will depend on the source system, the kind of data, the target platform, and the organization's requirements.

Of course. During the migration process, the existing APIs, third-party applications, workflows, reports, and on-premise dependencies can be assessed. Yet certain of the integrations will have to be redesigned in order to be compatible with the target cloud architecture.

Yes, it is possible; Microsoft has prepared documents that outline hybrid integration patterns for connecting the Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations applications with on-premises systems through Azure services and integration technologies.

As long as the target product, the licensing terms, the configuration, and the business requirements allow it, you can obtain access to cloud features such as Copilot, Power BI, Power Automate, and other Microsoft capabilities when you transfer eligible workloads to Dynamics 365 online.

A single timeline doesn't exist; the time needed will depend on the Dynamics product and version, the size of the database, the number of companies or users, the customisations, the integrations, the quality of the data, and the testing requirements, as well as the target architecture.

DynovateTech does provide help with troubleshooting after migration, as well as with optimization, configuration, user support, integration support, and ongoing Dynamics 365 consulting.

Dynamics 365 on-premise to cloud migration is the process of migrating your existing Microsoft Dynamics applications, business data, configurations and processes from on-premise servers to the Microsoft cloud environment. It allows companies to improve the scalability, accessibility, security and performance of systems.

Yes. You can migrate Dynamics CRM on-premise environments to Dynamics 365 Online. After determining whether the compatibility of the cloud environment is available, typically the migration will consist of business data, configurations, security roles, workflows, integrations, and supported customizations.

Yes. Dynamics NAV can be migrated to Business Central. We assess your NAV version, database, customizations, extensions, integrations and business processes to determine the right migration and upgrade approach.

Yes. Dynamics AX environments can be migrated to Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. Your AX version, customizations, data structure, integrations, reporting requirements, and existing business processes will determine the migration approach.

Not necessarily. Some of the existing customizations may have to be modified, replaced or redeveloped to work effectively in the cloud. We review your customizations prior to migration and recommend the best way to ensure the functionality you need.

Your existing data is assessed, cleaned, mapped, transformed if necessary, and migrated to the new cloud environment. We also conduct validation and testing to support the integrity, completeness, and consistency of data migration.

Yes. Dynamics 365 can connect with a number of existing business applications, Microsoft solutions, third-party platforms, APIs, and external databases. We review your existing integrations and how they need to be connected or modernized in the cloud.

The timing of the migration will be dependent on the Dynamics product and version you are using, the size of the database, customizations, integrations, data quality, number of users, and the overall complexity of the project. A thorough assessment helps to establish a realistic migration timeline.

Yes. Your business and technical requirements may allow for a hybrid environment where some systems stay on-premises and Dynamics applications or selected workloads go to the cloud. Security and integration requirements should be planned carefully.

Uh-huh. We provide post-migration support for system monitoring, troubleshooting, user assistance, integration testing, performance tuning and ongoing enhancements to ensure your Dynamics 365 cloud environment runs smoothly.
