Migrating customers from Dynamics on-premises to Dynamics 365 Business Central is one of the highest impact growth motions for partners today—but it’s also one of the most complex. Between funding conversations, technical readiness, customer skepticism, and ROI justification, partners often need multiple assets at different stages of the journey.

To make this easier, we’ve consolidated all core migration resources in one place. This blog is designed to help you quickly find the right asset at the right moment—whether you’re identifying migration candidates, building a business case, or accelerating a deal with Microsoft funding.

Start with the Offer: Bridge to the Cloud or Business Central Migration Voucher

For many customers, the move from on‑premises to the cloud isn’t prevented by intent—it’s blocked by risk, cost, and uncertainty around what the transition really looks like. Partners play a critical role in reframing this moment, shifting the conversation from a technical migration to a business transformation powered by Dynamics 365 Business Central.

To help accelerate that shift, Microsoft provides a set of targeted migration offers designed to eliminate common friction points and move customers forward with confidence.

Bridge to the Cloud 3 (BTC3) serves as the commercial on‑ramp, reducing licensing cost as a barrier and creating urgency to act. It gives partners a clear entry point to anchor the conversation, while opening the door to broader discussions around modernization, AI‑driven productivity, and long‑term value in the Microsoft Cloud. With BTC3, eligible customers can receive a 30% discount on three year-term subscriptions for most Dynamics 365 products, with enrollment from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027. Get details in the BTC3 partner alert.

NOTE: BTC3 and Business Central Migration Voucher cannot be used together.

The Business Central Migration Voucher is a Microsoft incentive designed to reduce or remove one of the biggest blockers to cloud migration: implementation cost. By offsetting or eliminating migration and deployment expenses, the voucher helps customers move from interest to action—allowing partners to focus on delivering value.

The Migration Voucher supports eligible Dynamics on-premises customers (NAV, GP, SL, AX, BC on-premises) that are moving to Business Central and can cover up to 100% of Year 1 annual contract value (ACV), capped at $150K, depending on deal size and eligibility. The goal is simple: Unblock stalled migrations and help partners close larger, faster deals.
