Dynamics 365 in the UAE: Which Product You Are Actually Buying
Microsoft sells several unrelated products under one brand name. Business Central and Finance and Operations are different codebases at different prices, Sales and Field Service and HR are separate purchases, and the GP, NAV and AX estates still running here each have their own exit and their own deadline.

What Business Central Actually Costs a UAE Company
You have a per-user price off a Microsoft web page and a proposal that looks nothing like it. Neither is wrong. Here is the real cost shape built out of its parts, which parts nobody is able to publish, and the arithmetic to run on the figures you were actually quoted.

A partner has told you GP is dying and the migration starts now. The dates are public and they do not all say the same thing.

Moving Off Dynamics NAV: The Upgrade Path Is Not One Hop
You have been quoted for an upgrade and you are imagining a version bump. Microsoft's own documentation describes a chain of intermediate versions and a conversion of your application from C/AL to AL. That is not an upgrade. It is a rewrite of every customisation you own, and it changes which question you should be asking.

Odoo vs Dynamics 365 Business Central: An Odoo Partner's Comparison
Two mid-market suites with opposite theories of customisation. One lets you change anything and charges you rent for it every year. The other refuses, and hands you a platform that upgrades itself. We are an Odoo partner, and there are companies we would tell to buy Business Central.
