NAV 2017 Released
Microsoft Dynamics NAV® 2017 Released – ERP Out Now!
Jesse Lawrence
Launching Dynamics NAV 2017
Microsoft have just launched the next big release in the Microsoft Dynamics® range; NAV 2017. Dynamics NAV is the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software aimed at small and medium sized businesses. The latest version allows you to run your business more efficiently and effectively than ever before!
Why Dynamics NAV 2017?
Dynamics NAV has always been the ERP of choice for business owners who require an integrated and flexible platform to run the company. Now with the ever improving integration with Office 365 and Dynamics 365 the aim for maximising productivity is truly being realised. The aim for Microsoft is simple – spend more time making business decisions based on easy to access data, spend less time on doing the repetitive and menial tasks.
Dynamics NAV has the familiar look and feel of the Microsoft Office products, so it is easy to learn and use. With finance at its core managing the business is much easier with automatic updates of transactions to the General Ledger and double entry accounts. With Dimensional analysis and in-built reporting it is now even easier to get trends and measure the performance of the business.

Why Manufacturers Need More Than a Standard CRM
Manufacturing businesses face daily pressures that standard CRM systems simply weren't designed to handle. Your teams need to manage complex product configurations, track quality standards, coordinate with suppliers, and maintain detailed production schedules whilst still nurturing customer relationships.
Do You Need a Separate CRM?
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central includes customer relationship management features, but you might wonder if these tools are sufficient for your business needs.
