What does the end of mainstream Support mean for Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Dynamics 365 Business Central?

What NAV Support Model is Right For Your Enterprise?
Ending mainstream Microsoft Dynamics NAV support means the tech giant will no longer be enhancing that product. When mainstream support ends, this is what occurs:
Microsoft no longer supplies non-security hotfixes unless you have an extended Microsoft Dynamics NAV support agreement, all warranty claims end, Microsoft no longer accepts requests for new features and design changes. This is where an NAV partner like Korcomptenz can make a difference. We offer Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner services to ensure your operations run smoothly at very compelling costs.
