Dynamics NAV - Understanding the Product Roadmap
Dynamics NAV is a well-known, widely used ERP offering from Microsoft. It assists in finance, manufacturing, supply chains, customer relationships, and warehouse management. It adapts easily to small and mid-sized businesses and supports them with automation, sales, accounting, and stock management module connections. Dynamics NAV is an ERP giant and has endured the test of time due to its flexibility and customizable nature—perfect for any industry or business.
Roadmap of Dynamics NAV
Dynamics NAV, formerly known as Dynamics Navision, was built for Windows 95 as accounting software and was first released in 1995. A decade later, Microsoft rebranded it as Dynamics NAV, which became famous for streamlining business processes across various industries. In 2002, Microsoft introduced Navision to the Microsoft Business Management applications suite. It was released once again in 2005 as Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
Dynamics NAV connected vital business processes such as sales, finance, and operations and improved reporting and analytical capabilities. It was built primarily for on-premise use and provided the option to be hosted on the cloud or a hybrid model. It allowed you to keep data on your server or the cloud.
What is Microsoft Dynamics NAV called now?
In 2018 Microsoft NAV upgraded to Dynamics 365 Business Central, a more comprehensive business management solution that could quickly adapt to market trends. Business Central is the cloud version of Dynamics NAV with numerous new features that help businesses adapt to new technologies and improve productivity and efficiency.
The Dynamics NAV to Dynamics 365 Business Central migration enabled businesses to optimize productivity and insights powered by its optimal performance and operational flexibility—features that most legacy ERP applications lacked.
Though Business Central and Dynamics NAV are built on the same foundation, Business Central automatically receives free upgrade releases and monthly updates. In addition, Business Central has advanced features such as:
● A more user-friendly and intuitive search function
● Credit card processing
● Ability to connect to external databases and websites
