Migrate Oracle E Business Suite to Business Central

If your business still runs on Oracle E Business Suite, you may be thinking about a better, modern way to run your core processes. Oracle E-Business Suite is a big ERP system that handles finances, supply chain, HR, customer data, project work, and more. It keeps all your data in one place and helps your teams work together.

But many companies want a simpler, integrated system that is easier to use, easy to grow with, and gives real-time insights into their business performance. That is where Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central comes in. Business Central is a modern ERP built for small and medium businesses that need a full toolset to manage finance, sales, operations, supply chain, and customer service in one place.

In this blog, you will learn what to think about when you plan a Oracle E Business Suite to Business Central migration. You will also see how Navisiontech can help you every step of the way.

What is Oracle E Business Suite

Oracle E Business Suite is a set of integrated business tools for finance, supply chain, HR, and customer data. It has modules that help you manage order processing, procurement, inventory, manufacturing, and reporting all in one system.

This system has been around for many years and many companies rely on it for core operations. But some teams find it complex, and hard to work with every day. Some businesses want faster decisions, easier interfaces, and clearer cost control.

What is Business Central

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a modern cloud-ready ERP system from Microsoft. It brings your finance, operations, sales, and inventory together in one place. You can access your data from anywhere in the cloud and work faster with built-in automation.

With Business Central you get real-time dashboards, seamless integration with Microsoft 365 apps like Excel and Outlook, and tools to support your growth.

Why Businesses Migrate from Oracle E Business Suite to Business Central

Better User Experience with Business Central

Many teams find Business Central easier to use than Oracle E Business Suite. The interface feels modern, and most work can happen with fewer clicks. Most users pick it up fast, especially if they already use Microsoft tools like Excel or Outlook.

Cloud Flexibility and Remote Access

Business Central works in the cloud. That means your team can log in from anywhere. You do not have to manage your own servers or worry about hardware upgrades.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

When you move from a legacy system to Business Central, you can often reduce IT and maintenance costs. Cloud ERP often has a predictable subscription cost with fewer surprises.

Real Time Data and Reporting

Business Central gives you real-time dashboards and reports. You get clear views into sales, inventory, cash flow, and operations without waiting for offline exports.

Seamless Microsoft 365 Integration

Business Central works with tools you already use. You can open reports in Excel, see email history in Outlook, and run analytics in Power BI, all without complex connectors.

Key Considerations for Oracle E Business Suite to Business Central Migration

Assess Your Current ERP Use

Before migration, review how you use Oracle E Business Suite. List all modules you use now, such as finance, supply chain, and HR. Check which features you will need in Business Central.

Clean Your Data Before Migration

Data from Oracle E Business Suite can be huge and messy. You should clean your master records, contact lists, products, and transactions before migrating. This step makes your Business Central system cleaner and easier to use.

Prepare for Data Mapping Challenges

Not all data fields match directly between Oracle E Business Suite and Business Central. You need data mapping to ensure each field goes to the right place in Business Central.Plan for a Phased Migration

You should pick the right plan for moving your data and processes. Some companies move core finance first. Others move supply chain next. A phased approach can reduce risk.

Think About Integrations

If your Oracle system is linked to other apps, you must plan how those connections will work after migration. This includes custom reports, third-party systems, and external tools.

Train Your Team

A new system means new screens and new ways of working. Set time for training before go-live. This helps your team work faster and reduces errors.
