Moving to Business Central will be a new implementation on a different ERP. SL has no direct migration path to Business Central, Microsoft’s only true-cloud mid-market ERP product.Microsoft has said, “Dynamics GP and Dynamics SL will continue to receive product improvements and updates, but the most benefit to these customers comes from upgrading to Dynamics 365 Business Central” SL users can expect less innovation for their maintenance dollar.Dynamics SL’s much older system architecture becomes an issue in scenarios designed for the latest technologies, including cloud deployment options, customizations using current development tools, and integration with CRM.Dynamics SL requires the purchase of additional Microsoft products (CRM, SharePoint, Project Server, etc.) to take full advantage of its capabilities.
