WhatsAppERP Upgrade Services in Abu Dhabi: what is included
Shyphan provides ERP upgrade services Abu Dhabi organisations use to modernise ageing Dynamics NAV, on-premises Business Central and older Odoo installations under formal governance.
On-premises to Business Central online
We move on-premises NAV or Business Central to the online service, converting data, rebuilding customisations as AL extensions and replacing on-premises reports, as an independent consultancy. Licences come from Microsoft or your CSP.
Structured UAT with sign-off
User acceptance testing follows written test scripts per department, with results recorded and defects tracked to closure. Department heads sign off their areas, giving steering committees clear evidence before approving go-live.
Upgrade evidence packs
Trial balances, sub-ledgers, fixed assets and open documents are compared before and after each test upgrade. Signed reconciliation packs let internal audit confirm nothing changed in the numbers during the upgrade.
Project and contract modules
Contractors' job costing, progress billing and retention logic are rebuilt and retested in the new version, because these customisations are usually the heaviest and riskiest parts of NAV systems in Abu Dhabi.
Roles and approvals re-mapped
Permission sets and approval workflows are re-mapped to the new version's security model and reviewed against segregation of duties rules, so the upgrade does not quietly widen user access or bypass approval limits set by your delegation of authority.
Reporting moved to Power BI
Legacy on-premises reports are replaced with Business Central reports or Power BI dashboards, giving management the same figures in a supported format rather than carrying unsupported reporting tools forward into the new platform where they would break.
The platforms we deliver it on
Real screens from the platforms we implement. Yours are configured to your entities, processes and KPIs.
Finance overview in Zoho Analytics
Revenue against expense, revenue by project and customer distribution on one board, refreshed from Zoho Books and CRM.
- Zoho: fastest and lowest cost per user for SMEs and growing teams.
The Odoo Accounting dashboard
Customer invoices, vendor bills, bank and cash journals, with what is left to validate and reconcile.
- Odoo: strongest where stock, manufacturing and operations lead.
A Business Central role centre
The home page each user gets for their role: headlines, activity cues, KPI tiles, charts and actions. The numbered callouts come from Microsoft's documentation.
- Dynamics 365: best for Microsoft-centric companies and larger groups.
What changes in Abu Dhabi
The local rules and realities we design for before go-live. Rules change, so we re-check the current position at scoping.
Steering committee checkpoints
Government-linked entities in Abu Dhabi usually require approvals at defined stages. Our upgrade plan includes formal checkpoints with decision papers, so progress and risks are visible to the committee throughout.
Data residency considerations
Some Abu Dhabi organisations require data held in the UAE. We confirm hosting options with Microsoft for Business Central online, or host Odoo on Azure UAE North, before the upgrade path is finalised.
On-site UAT in Abu Dhabi
UAT sessions and go-live support can run at your Abu Dhabi office, KIZAD site or Musaffah facility, which helps busy departments complete their test scripts on time and raise questions directly with our consultants.
Working with businesses in Abu Dhabi: we support companies across ADGM, KIZAD, Musaffah and Masdar City, with remote delivery and on-site workshops where the project needs them.
How we deliver ERP upgrade services
Phases, indicative timing and what is delivered in each. Scope is fixed and priced in AED before we start.
Assessment and approval
Current system, customisations and reports reviewed; upgrade plan, risks and budget presented for steering committee approval.
Build and conversion
Customisations rebuilt or retired, data conversion prepared and reports replaced, with progress reported against the approved plan.
Test upgrades and UAT
Two or more test upgrades with scripted UAT, reconciliation packs and defect tracking until departments sign off.
Go-live
Formal go or no-go decision, production upgrade in an approved window and reconciliation signed before users return.
Stabilisation
On-site support in Abu Dhabi, first period-end close completed and full handover documentation delivered to your IT team.
When ERP upgrade services is the wrong answer
If your NAV system is heavily customised for processes you plan to change, upgrading those customisations wastes effort. Redesigning processes and re-implementing on Business Central, or moving to another ERP, may cost less. We will compare the options honestly in the assessment.
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 Zoho, Odoo, Dynamics 365 and custom 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.
