How s::can moved to the cloud with Business Central.
The Vienna-based water quality monitoring specialist completed its NAV to Business Central upgrade and now runs Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in the cloud. Instead of an on-premises server, business data is available anytime and anywhere, and processes run far more efficiently.

- Challenge
The ERP ran on premises on the company's own servers: outages were its own responsibility, and irregular backups put data at risk. Cluttered screens made it tedious to find the information needed for analysis and decisions.
- Solution
An upgrade from Dynamics NAV to Business Central in the cloud. Backups, updates and maintenance run automatically, the interface is clear, and reporting is available directly in the system.
- Result
Data is available anytime and anywhere, and the effort of running its own infrastructure is gone. Workflows have become more flexible and simpler, and the system grows with the company.
From Dynamics NAV in-house to Business Central in the cloud.
Technical limits, declining efficiency and a fast-growing business: three reasons s::can switched systems, and what is different today.

Water is what s::can is about: its systems monitor water quality in more than 50 countries.
“Because of technical limitations, lower efficiency and a fast-growing environment, we carried out a NAV system upgrade to Business Central. In this technically rather complex environment, we came to know NAVAX as a competent and professional partner. The way the project was handled, how the key users were treated and the precise, successful delivery speak for the quality of NAVAX.”

Is your ERP ready for the cloud?
On premises or cloud is rarely a question of technology alone; it is a question of how much running your own server costs you. Four points to check where you stand.
