Is your organization still running Microsoft Dynamics NAV, GP, SL, AX, or CRM?
Now is the perfect time to make the move to the cloud, and Microsoft is making it easier than ever.
Microsoft Bridge to the Cloud 3 (BTC3) is a migration promotion launched in January 2026 that helps businesses like yours transition from on-premises Dynamics systems to Dynamics 365 in the cloud at your own pace and at a significantly reduced cost.
What is the Bridge to the Cloud 3 (BTC3) promotion?
(BTC3) is Microsoft’s latest incentive program for customers still using legacy, on-premises Dynamics solutions. Under the BTC3 program, you get:
- 30% discount on three-year term Dynamics 365 cloud subscription terms.
- Free Enhancement Plan renewals for your existing on-premises system throughout the BTC3 term, protecting your current investments while you transition.
- Dual-use access, meaning you can continue running your on-premises system while gradually moving workloads to the cloud.
- The promotion is valid from 1st January 2026, to 31st December 2027, giving you ample time to plan.
To be eligible, your organization must have purchased Dynamics GP, NAV, SL, AX, Dynamics 365 for Operations, or Dynamics CRM before 1st September 2024. The promotion is available through a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) such as Professional Advantage.
Why act now?
BTC3 removes the two biggest barriers to cloud migration: cost uncertainty and operational disruption. The 30% discount locks in predictable licensing costs for three years, while the phased migration model means there is no forced hard cutover, so your business keeps running smoothly as you transition.
On top of that, older on-premises systems carry growing cybersecurity risks and limited vendor support. Migrating to Dynamics 365 means better security, regular updates, and access to Microsoft's latest AI-powered features.
