July 11th, 2025 by Stephen Jones Leave a reply »

Last year Forrester surveyed a wide variety of industries that ran an on-premises Dynamics ERP product (NAV, GP, or Business Central) and that had later transitioned to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Cloud.

Despite the investment in computer hardware and the investment in the on-premises ERP development , Forrester found that over a period of three years, these companies averaged payback within six months, and over 3 years:

  • A Return on Investment (ROI) of 265%
  • A Net Present Value (NPV) of the investment to transition to Business Central in the cloud of $529k
  • 86% of the respondents reported reduced IT support costs, including professional services, data center and hardware, licensing, and third-party software, with an average annual savings of $69,703 (a 55% reduction).

There are other factors from scalability, to automatic updates, and ease of working with embedded Microsoft products like Outlook, Teams, Excel, Power Bi, and Copilot
