Foreword

The Microsoft acquisition of Navision in 2002 changed this world-class ERP solution forever. Microsoft’s deep R&D and extensive partner network fueled NAV into the fastest growing mid-market ERP globally. Hallmarks of Navision are its ease of installation, configuration, and use. Its strong architecture, layered development platform, and user-friendly interface enables quick ROI and high end-user adoption. From simple origins, NAV has grown into a fully scalable, robust application with strong positioning among the top-tier ERP products. The recent release of the RoleTailored client enables step-level changes in user adoption and productivity. More and more international businesses are adopting NAV, either as a hub and spoke model, or as an enterprise ERP application.

This book highlights some key areas of Dynamics NAV and the corresponding integration of other Microsoft technology. The book will appeal to beginners, users, and partners alike.
