What is C/AL to AL Data Migration?
Migration from an older version – Dynamics NAV (C/Side) to Dynamics 365 Business Central (Navision) can be complex scenario especially in terms of data migration because Microsoft simply doesn’t provide any automated tools to do this! Here is where you will need a professional help to move your older data from C/AL to newer & fresher AL language.  

Reasons to migrate from C/AL to AL Code Language

Easy Customization

A fundamental part of the Dynamics NAV/Business Central (Navision) is that you can customize the system to fit the needs of your business. May it be, manufacturing or logistics or Supply chain or freight, NAV/BC can be tailored accordingly. Up until a few years ago, this development work was done in a language called C/AL, but in 2018 Microsoft gave us a whole new way of coding when it released a new language for NAV/BC called AL. This is going to put a great positive impact on the systems because now, it will be even easier to customize the ERP and also leverage timely upgrades for better utilization.

Upgradeability Challenges
In Dynamics NAV/BC versions, C/AL code was extremely flexible, and this is the reason why many customers today prefer Microsoft Dynamics NAV/BC for their ERP operations! But at the same time, it posed a challenge whenever there was an upgrade in the systems. Basically, if you make changes to the code, and if there is an upgrade, then it takes lot of efforts to discover if the customized code has been working or not! This is exactly the reason why many NAV customers still don’t upgrade to newer versions and is now easy with AL code language.
Seamless & Smooth
The core idea of migrating from C/AL to AL is that it requires low coding efforts as far as any customization is needed because Microsoft has introduced a concept of ‘Apps’. So basically, in C/AL, all the coding was executed by making changes in the single code base whereas in newer AL, you have section of Apps, which are holding the codes. So, if you want to make customizations, go ahead, dive into a particular section and customize it, rather than disturbing the entire code base. Subsequently, during an upgrade for the BC app, you can directly implement it without shaking the custom code written by you, thus making upgrades painless and smooth!
