Microsoft Bridge to the Cloud 3: How to Save on Your Dynamics 365 Migration Before 2027

Microsoft’s Bridge to the Cloud 3 promotion offers a 30% discount on Dynamics 365 licences until 2027. Find out if your organisation qualifies.

If your organisation is running Microsoft Dynamics on-premises, including NAV, GP, AX, or SL, there is a time-sensitive promotion that could significantly reduce the cost and complexity of moving to the cloud. Microsoft’s Bridge to the Cloud 3 (BTC3) promotion runs from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2027, and it offers one of the most financially compelling cases for Dynamics 365 migration available today.

Bridge to the Cloud 3 is a Microsoft programme designed to help organisations running legacy Dynamics on-premises systems transition to Dynamics 365 online. It offers a combination of license discounts, dual access rights, and extended support that reduces both the financial and operational risk of migration.

What Does BTC3 Include?

30% Discount on Dynamics 365 Online License

Qualifying organisations receive a 30% discount on Dynamics 365 online licenses, locked in for a fixed three-year term through Microsoft’s Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) programme. This gives your finance team a predictable, budgetable number to plan around.

Dual Access Rights During Migration

BTC3 grants dual access rights during the transition period, meaning you can continue running your existing on-premises Dynamics system while building and testing your new cloud environment in parallel. There is no forced cutover and no operational disruption to your business.

Enhancement Plan Extensions at No Extra Cost

Your Enhancement Plan renewals are extended at no additional cost for up to three years. This protects your existing on-premises investment while your team transitions at its own pace.

Additional On-Premises User Licenses at Half Price

For teams that need extra capacity during the transition, additional on-premises user licenses are available at 50% of the standard price until December 2027.

To be eligible for the Bridge to the Cloud 3 promotion, your organisation must meet the following criteria:

Your Dynamics on-premises perpetual licenses must have been purchased before 1 September 2024.
You must not have participated in the Bridge to the Cloud 1 or Bridge to the Cloud 2 promotions.
Enrolment must be completed through an authorised CSP partner before 31 December 2027.

Strategix is an authorised CSP partner and can facilitate your enrolment and assess your eligibility.

Why Microsoft Dynamics On-Premises Is Becoming a Business Risk

Microsoft’s ongoing investment in AI capabilities, security updates, and product innovation is focused on its cloud platform. Organisations remaining on legacy on-premises Dynamics systems are falling further behind with each passing year, not just in functionality, but in security posture and operational agility.

BTC3 directly addresses the two most common barriers to cloud migration: cost uncertainty and fear of operational disruption. The fixed three-year discount removes pricing risk, and dual access rights ensure your operations do not need to pause while a migration project runs in the background.

What Dynamics versions are eligible for BTC3?

Organisations running Dynamics NAV, Dynamics GP, Dynamics AX, and Dynamics SL are eligible, provided their perpetual licences were purchased before 1 September 2024.

How long does the BTC3 promotion last?

The promotion runs from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2027. Enrolment must be completed before the end of 2027, after which standard pricing applies.

What is the discount under BTC3?

Qualifying organisations receive a 30% discount on Dynamics 365 online licenses for a fixed three-year term through the CSP programme.

Can we still use our on-premises system during migration?

Yes. BTC3 includes dual access rights, allowing you to run your existing on-premises system alongside your new cloud environment during the transition period.

How do we enroll in Bridge to the Cloud 3?

Enrolment must be completed through an authorised CSP partner. Strategix can assess your eligibility and manage the enrolment process on your behalf.

Get Started Before the Window Closes.

The BTC3 promotion ends on 31 December 2027. After that date, standard Dynamics 365 pricing applies, and the dual access and discount benefits are no longer available.
