Only what the first phase needs is switched on; more follows in later phases.

Azure Data FactoryDynamics 365 Data Migration in Dubai: what is included
Dynamics 365 data migration in Dubai moves customers, vendors, items, balances, open documents and CRM history from Tally, QuickBooks, Sage, Dynamics NAV or GP, or Salesforce into Business Central or Dataverse apps.
NAV and GP to Business Central
For companies on Dynamics NAV or GP, Microsoft's cloud migration tooling can move data to Business Central online. We assess version, customisations and data volume first, because old C/AL customisations must be redesigned as AL extensions rather than copied across.
Configuration packages for SME sources
Tally, QuickBooks and Sage are common among Dubai SMEs. We extract masters and open items, cleanse them in Excel with your team and load through Business Central configuration packages, which validate each record against setup before posting.
CRM migration to Dataverse
Accounts, contacts, opportunities, activities and notes from Salesforce, HubSpot or spreadsheets are mapped to Dataverse tables with owners and relationships preserved, so sales teams keep their history after moving to Dynamics 365 Sales.
Reconciled opening balances
Trial balance, open receivables and payables by document, inventory quantities and values are loaded at cut-over and reconciled line by line against the old system's reports, then signed off by your finance lead.
Dubai multi-entity splits
Groups with a Dubai mainland LLC and DMCC or JAFZA entities often shared one old ledger. We split balances and masters into separate Business Central companies with their own VAT settings during migration.
Rehearsed cut-over
At least two trial migrations run in sandboxes before the live load, each timed and reconciled, so the final cut-over weekend follows a tested script rather than improvisation. Timings are shared in advance.

What changes in Dubai
The local rules and realities we design for before go-live. Rules change, so we re-check the current position at scoping.
Cut over at VAT period start
Dubai companies usually go live at the start of a VAT quarter or month, so each VAT 201 return is prepared from a single system and no period is split between old and new.
Multi-currency open items
Dubai traders carry open invoices in USD, EUR and CNY. Migration keeps original currency amounts and exchange rates so revaluation and realised differences post correctly after go-live.
On-site cut-over in Dubai
For go-live weekends we can work on-site at your Dubai office, beside finance and operations, while balances are reconciled and signed off. Hypercare continues into the first working week.
Working with businesses in Dubai: we support companies across JAFZA, DMCC, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai Internet City, DIFC, Al Quoz and Dubai South, with remote delivery and on-site workshops where the project needs them.
How we deliver Dynamics 365 data migration
Phases, indicative timing and what is delivered in each. Scope is fixed and priced in AED before we start.
Source assessment
Review source systems, data volumes, quality and customisations, and agree what migrates, archives or is dropped.
Mapping and cleansing
Map fields to Dynamics 365, cleanse duplicates and gaps with your team and build repeatable transformation steps.
Trial migrations
Run at least two full loads into sandboxes, reconciling each and fixing issues before the next rehearsal.
Cut-over
Freeze the source system, execute the final load, reconcile and sign off, with our team on-site in Dubai if needed.
Post go-live checks
Support the first month-end close and VAT workings to confirm migrated data behaves correctly in live use.
When Dynamics 365 data migration is the wrong answer
Moving years of transaction history into Business Central is rarely worth it; open items and balances plus an accessible archive usually serve better. And a NAV system with heavy C/AL customisation needs redesign, not just migration, so budget for that before assuming a quick lift.
How we handle it: We implement Zoho, Odoo and Dynamics 365 and build AI and custom software, so our written recommendation can point you to a simpler option, or to doing nothing yet.
A UAE team you can meet in person
That is our team at Zoholics Dubai 2026. We deliver Dynamics 365 projects from our Ras Al Khaimah office with remote delivery across all seven emirates, in English and Arabic, and we run workshops on site in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah when a project needs it.
