Design the right path to Business Central
Moving from Epicor, Infor, QuickBooks, or Sage to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central involves transitioning the data, processes, integrations, reporting, and functionality the business still needs.
The move is also an opportunity to decide what should be retained, redesigned, replaced, archived, or retired so Business Central supports the future business rather than recreating the current environment.
Korcomptenz evaluates ERP fit first, then designs the migration around future-state processes, not a one-for-one system replacement.
What Are You Moving From?
Sage → Business Central
Is Sage Holding You Back?
Missed dependencies across add-ons, customizations, reports, spreadsheets, and integrations can cause data gaps, broken processes, rework, and go-live delays.
We assess: Sage modules, customizations, data, reporting, integrations, manufacturing requirements, and processes that may need redesign.
Epicor → Business Central
Modernize Manufacturing Operations
Move to a better-fit ERP foundation to improve planning, inventory visibility, production control, and operational scalability.
We assess: manufacturing complexity, BOMs, routings, planning, production, inventory, warehousing, integrations, and customizations.
Infor → Business Central
Modernize Without Losing Control
Move to a better-fit ERP foundation to simplify operations, improve visibility, and support more scalable manufacturing and supply chain processes.
We assess: manufacturing, supply chain, warehousing, entity structure, integrations, data, reporting, and process complexity.
Where Does Migration Risk Differ by Source System?
| Current System | Migration Complexity | Key Migration Risk |
|---|---|---|
| QuickBooks | Lower to moderate | Poor chart-of-accounts design, incomplete history, weak process controls |
| Sage | Moderate | Hidden dependencies across add-ons, reports, integrations, and customizations |
| Epicor | Moderate to high | Manufacturing, BOM, planning, warehouse, and custom-process dependencies |
| Infor | Moderate to high | Complex manufacturing, supply chain, entity, and integration requirements |
Why Are Organizations Reassessing Their Current ERP?
Costs Keep Expanding
Licensing, infrastructure, add-ons, support, customizations, and integrations can increase the real cost of operating the current environment.
Processes Have Outgrown the System
New entities, locations, products, channels, and operating models can expose process limitations.
Complexity Has Built Up Around the Core
Spreadsheets, customizations, workarounds, and disconnected applications can make even small changes difficult.
Microsoft Consolidation Creates New Options
Organizations already using Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Power BI, Azure, or Fabric can bring ERP closer to their existing technology ecosystem.
AI Requires a Better Foundation
Copilot, AI agents, and automation become more useful when processes and data are connected, reliable, and governed.
What Data Can Move to Business Central?
Migration can include:
- Chart of accounts and financial balances
- Customers and vendors
- Products and inventory
- Open transactions
- Dimensions and configurations
- Relevant historical data
Only migrate what supports the future-state ERP.
Don’t Move Old ERP Complexity into Business Central
Retain
Keep processes and functionality that continue to create business value.
Redesign
Improve workflows that no longer reflect how the business operates.
Replace
Use standard Business Central, Power Platform, Microsoft, or appropriate ISV capabilities where legacy solutions are no longer necessary.
Retire
Remove redundant data, reports, customizations, integrations, applications, and workarounds.
What Determines Business Central Migration Cost and Timeline?
Migration effort varies significantly between a QuickBooks environment and a complex Epicor or Infor implementation. Key drivers include:
Source System
The architecture, modules, customization, and accessibility of the current platform.
Data
Volume, quality, history, duplication, and reconciliation requirements.
Business Scope
Finance-only migrations differ from environments involving manufacturing, inventory, warehouse, projects, or service.
Customizations & Integrations
Legacy functionality and connected applications may need to be redesigned rather than recreated.
Entities & Locations
Multiple companies, locations, currencies, or countries increase migration complexity.
Testing & Change
User acceptance, training, cutover planning, and adoption affect effort and timeline.
Which Business Central Migration Strategy Fits Your Business?
| Migration Strategy | Best When | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Direct Migration | Processes fit Business Central and complexity is manageable | Move with limited business change |
| Phased Migration | Multiple entities, locations, modules, or dependencies are involved | Reduce rollout risk |
| Process-Led Reimplementation | Existing processes and customizations no longer fit | Redesign ERP around future requirements |

Frequently Asked Questions
Evaluate process complexity, entity structure, manufacturing and supply chain requirements, integrations, localization, scale, and future growth.
No. Historical information should be evaluated against operational, reporting, audit, and compliance needs. Some data may be better archived.
Timeline depends on the source system, scope, entities, data, customizations, integrations, testing, and rollout approach.
Cost depends on scope, users and entities, data, customizations, integrations, reporting, licensing, testing, training, and rollout complexity.
