Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is designed for companies needing a solution that can be implemented rapidly, customised, and maintained, with minimal disruption to the work environment. Which is why more than one million users at 45,000 companies in over 50 countries use Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

Empowered Users
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is based on the user interface of Microsoft Office Outlook whilst providing new unique facilities. The interface gives users a familiar working environment, reduces the learning time for new users on the system, and provides an efficient user experience .

Insightful Information
All areas of the application are now available as MS OLAP Services cubes that can be interrogated either through Microsoft Excel or a Web-based user interface. This allows users to accurately compare results across business entities and timelines, as well as produce trend analysis through data mining facilities. Business Notifications alert the user to business-critical conditions such as late orders, exceeded credit balances and threatened customer commitments. Any number of alerts can be created to cover all your business risks.

Connected Businesses
Microsoft Dynamics NAV uses industry standards to ensure that both mobile and office users and business processes can be inter-connected, as well as ensuring that business processes can synchronise with trading partners. Communication documents are formatted in industry-standard XML, to simplify the synchronisation process, as well as help comply with standards between organisations and software applications. Standard connectors are supplied by MS BizTalk Server and authentication and delivery through MS Commerce Server.
