Project-driven businesses
deserve Dynamics SL stability
today and smarter roadmaps
to modernization.
For project-centric teams (construction, professional services, government contractors, engineering firms), your path to Business Central is both urgent and in need of a partner who understands what SL actually does for you.
We keep SL stable today and map a migration that protects the project accounting, billing, and revenue recognition work SL users depend on.

Three ways to work with us on Dynamics SL
Project-centric businesses have a different set of needs. Here's how we meet them.
Keep SL stable through 2028.
Tax table updates, year-end help, integrations, and custom report fixes.
Tighten what you have while you plan.
Project billing tune-ups, revenue recognition cleanup, Flexkey restructuring, and reporting work that makes SL run the way you actually need it to.
Move without losing project DNA.
Business Central plus project-accounting extensions so SL users keep the PSA functionality they depend on. We plan the data, the reports, and the cutover.
Project-centric ERP is not a side specialty for us.
SL was built for project accounting, meaning service organizations, construction, government contractors, engineering firms. Other partners have a tendency to treat SL as a niche. Our team has decades of hands-on work with project-driven ERP, including the Microsoft product groups that shaped what SL does well.
That's why our migration path for SL users isn't "run the BC default." It's a plan that accounts for the project billing, revenue recognition, and multi-entity work your team does every day.
What you get from us:
- Project-accounting depth, not generic ERP
- Migration paths that preserve PSA functionality
- Predictable pricing and timelines with proven methodology
- Support that stays past go-live

FAQs
The answers SL users are looking for as they’re planning their next move.
Still have question?
What happens to SL after July 2028?
Your SL system will still continue to operate after July 2028, but without any updates, support, or security patches from Microsoft, you are leaving your data at risk of attack and inconsistencies and your team at risk of unexpected downtime and system breakage without an easy way to get it fixed.
Does Business Central handle project accounting the way SL does?
While there are some slight differences between how BC and SL process project accounting functions, the building blocks of the solution are similar. Enavate can help prepare your team and align your processes to ensure that the transition is as seamless as possible.
How long does an SL to BC migration take?
With Enavate’s proven Xcelerate migration packages, you can make the move to Business Central in as little as 12 weeks.
Can we phase the migration across fiscal years?
Yes, we can work with you to ensure that the timing and timeline works for your teams.
What does support look like after go-live?
Once you are live on BC, you’ll have the backing of Microsoft support and automatic updates. Enavate’s expert BC support team will also be on-hand to ensure your BC system is working well and from day to day.
