Bridge to Cloud 3 Is Here: How 2026 Is the Best Year to Move to Business Central

2025 is behind us. Now it is time to act smart in 2026.

Microsoft has launched a new cloud migration offer called Bridge to Cloud 3, also known as BTC3. This program helps on-premises Dynamics users move to the cloud at a lower cost.

If you are still running NAV or another Dynamics on-prem system, this is your moment.

Let’s break it down in simple terms.

What Is Bridge to Cloud 3 (BTC3)?

Bridge to Cloud 3 is a Microsoft promotion that helps you move from on-premises Dynamics to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Online.

BTC3 officially started on January 1, 2026, and runs until December 31, 2027.

With this offer, eligible customers get:

  • 30% off Business Central licenses

  • Locked pricing for 3 years

  • No extra cost for Enhancement Plan benefits

  • Extra savings for high-concurrency NAV users

This offer replaces the older Bridge to the Cloud 2 program.

Why BTC3 Matters More in 2026

Here is the big shift.

  • Business Central prices already went up on November 1, 2025

  • On-prem support costs keep rising

  • Cloud ERP is no longer optional for growing businesses

BTC3 helps you soften that price increase and move forward with confidence.

In short, BTC3 helps you:

  • Control costs

  • Avoid surprise upgrades

  • Modernize your ERP safely

Who Can Use Bridge to Cloud 3?

BTC3 is designed for customers who:

  • Are using Dynamics NAV or other Dynamics on-prem products

  • Bought licenses before September 1, 2024

  • Have an active Enhancement Plan

  • Have never used Business Central Online before

  • Are ready to commit to a 3-year cloud term

If this sounds like you, you qualify.

What Do You Actually Get?

Here is the simple version.

The Discount

  • 30% off list price

  • Valid for 3 full years

  • Discount does not renew, but pricing stays locked during the term

Licensing Model

  • Cloud Solution Provider (CSP)

  • Partner-led setup

  • New Commerce Experience (NCE)

Extra Bonus

  • NAV users with many users but low daily usage can save even more

Why Waiting Is Risky in 2026

Many companies say, “We will migrate later.”

Here is what later really means:

  • Higher license costs

  • Higher infrastructure costs

  • More technical debt

  • Harder data cleanup

BTC3 gives you a clean window to move now, not rush later.

When you move to Business Central Online, you gain:
