Business Central Market Overview

Dynamics 365 Business Central is Microsoft's cloud ERP for small and mid-sized organisations, covering finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, projects and supply chain. As the successor to Dynamics NAV (Navision), it has a large installed base and a steady stream of migration and new-implementation projects, which keeps hiring demand consistently strong across consultancies (Microsoft partners), ISVs and end-user organisations.

Roles split broadly into functional (configuring modules, gathering requirements, training users), technical (AL extension development, integrations, data migration) and architecture/leadership (solution design, project delivery, presales). Many smaller partners also value blended profiles who can both configure and lightly develop. The move from NAV C/AL to the modern AL language and extension-based model has reshaped the developer market, with cloud (SaaS) skills now in particular demand.

Most Business Central vacancies sit with Microsoft Dynamics partners delivering implementations, though end-user 'in-house' positions offer more stability and product depth on a single deployment. Remote and hybrid working is widespread, and experienced contractors command healthy day rates, especially for upgrades, NAV-to-BC migrations and complex integrations.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a Business Central functional and technical consultant?
Functional consultants focus on configuring modules, gathering requirements and training users, while technical consultants (often AL developers) build extensions, integrations and customisations. Many smaller partners value blended profiles who can do both.
Do I need the MB-800 certification to get a Business Central job?
It is not strictly mandatory, but the MB-800 (Business Central Functional Consultant Associate) is the recognised functional credential and is often listed as desirable. Partners value it because Microsoft requires certified staff to maintain partner status, so it can strengthen your application.
Is Dynamics NAV / Navision experience still relevant?
Yes. A large installed base of NAV (Navision) systems is still being migrated to Business Central, so NAV experience is highly valued for upgrade and migration projects, particularly if you can refactor legacy C/AL into modern AL.
What programming language does Business Central use?
Modern Business Central development uses the AL language, written in Visual Studio Code with an extension-based model and Git source control. This replaced the older C/AL language used in Dynamics NAV.
Should I work for a Microsoft partner or an end-user organisation?
Partners (consultancies) offer exposure to many projects, faster skills growth and clearer certification incentives. End-user (in-house) roles offer more stability, deeper product knowledge on one deployment and often better work-life balance.
Are remote and contract Business Central roles common?
Yes. Remote and hybrid working is widespread in the Business Central market, and experienced contractors command healthy day rates — especially for migrations, upgrades and complex integration work.
