Why read it

Decide before you pay for the next Sage 200 upgrade

The cheapest time to evaluate Business Central is before you commit to your next version upgrade, server or SQL Server refresh, not after it.

Business Central replaces the server, the upgrade cycle and most of the bolt-ons with a Microsoft-run cloud service. The licence line is predictable, as our Business Central pricing and licensing guide explains. What decides whether the move pays back is how much history you bring across, which integrations you rebuild, and how you mix full users with light users. For a feature-by-feature view, see Business Central vs Sage 200.

Only one trigger is a hard deadline: Sage 200 Manufacturing support ended on 31 December 2025. Business Central Premium includes manufacturing management, which makes it a direct candidate for that replacement. For the wider journey from any Sage product, read our Sage to Business Central migration guide.

See how one merchant replaced Sage ERP with Business Central, and how our Business Central implementation and Dynamics 365 upgrade and migration services are delivered.
