Dynamics 365 Data Security | Manufacturers Need to Tighten Their Cyber Defenses Now
The attack on Colonial Pipeline is a very famous, but far from an isolated case of cybercrime. In our business, we speak to businesses every day that have been impacted by ransomware and other criminal activity. They often ask us if Dynamics 365 data security can stop these attacks. The honest answer is that the attacks will continue as long as there is money to be made. Dynamics 365 Business Central will just make it a lot harder for these attackers to actually damage your systems.
We specialize in Dynamics 365 for manufacturing. The reality is that most manufacturing companies have mediocre or worse cybersecurity. Manufacturing relies as much on computers and computer systems as any other business, but they aren’t regulated as strictly as other businesses. Insurance companies, banks, hospitals – all of these businesses keep personal and confidential information about thousands or millions of consumers. Manufacturing companies almost never have that kind of consumer data. The laws and regulations today that enforce cybersecurity, therefore, don’t apply.
Microsoft Dynamics in Azure | Should you move your NAV instance to the cloud?
Microsoft Dynamics NAV has a long history as an ERP system and is used by over 100,000 companies world wide. Since the release of version 2013 of Dynamics NAV, it has also been designed to run in the cloud. In fact, Sabre has been helping customers run Dynamics NAV in Azure since 2014. Today businesses are thinking hard about changing their ERP system to support remote workers. The benefits of moving to a cloud model are fairly easy to understand, especially in 2021.

My Walkthrough to upgrade Dynamics NAV to Business Central 14
If you plan to upgrade Dynamics NAV to Business Central anytime in the next few months (and for a variety of reasons now is the time to do so) this walk through explains in broad terms what the process is. It is by and large best to let a partner do this for you, but not 100% necessary depending on customizations.
This is NOT meant as a replacement for the Microsoft instructions to upgrade to Business Central on-premise. I also don’t discuss in any real detail the upgrade of customizations and code from the old C/AL programming language to the AL programming language.
