An ERP Selection Process That Guarantees Results
IT Toolbox recently noted that 73% of all manufacturers are dissatisfied with their current ERP systems. Not surprising, they say. The problem--says IT Toolbox--is the "legacy selection process commonly used is flawed." Bingo! So what do they recommend? A three...
Dynamics NAV 2009 - Web parts??
If you look at the "role center" for sales order processor, you'll notice a portion of the screen that shows data from Outlook. View image. You can actually click on the number of emails and launch Outlook. For those of...
Dynamics NAV 2009 and SharePoint
This week is Directions 2008, a conference put on by the Microsoft Dynamics NAV channel. Actually, a group of volunteers from a dozen or so Microsoft partners collect the money and host the event, which is limited to Microsoft NAV...
New Version of Outlook Sync for Dynamics NAV 5.0
When Dynamics NAV 5.0 came out, one of the revisions to the product that I liked the most was the Outlook Sync revision. In the previous version, the Sync was real time, but I had problems with it. It duplicated...
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 6.0
I was in line to get a hamburger at a fast food restaurant. When what should I see in front of me but a couple of legs sticking up from the side of a truck bed in front of me....
Dynamics NAV Upgrade Toolkit
Microsoft is being pretty quiet about when the NAV upgrade toolkit might be ready. We've heard, though, from one of the other related vendors that the current release is anticipated sometime in July...I expect that after we allow time to...
NAV 5.0 Upgrade Toolkit
Still not out, as of today. I feel bad about not posting much lately. I'll be out of pocket for the next few days... Have a good Memorial Day!...
Oh, My, Read That 5.1 Article Wrong
Sorry, but I misread the announcement about the Dynamics NAV 5.1 delay. Microsoft uses these lovely little abbreviations. Q1 FY07 (first quarter, fiscal year 07, which begins at 7/1/07 since MS's year end is 6/30.) In this case, the new...
Dynamics NAV 5.1 Delayed
I think I may have mentioned this, but the official word came down from Redmond (or Fargo, or wherever the source of power is these days) that Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.1 (the big rewrite that will include the roles based...
Dynamics NAV 5.0 Payroll Product
A little history is in order here. When Navision (now Microsoft Dynamics NAV) came to the US around 1990, it was primarily an European product, developed in Denmark. The international features of the product are rumored to be what Microsoft...
Dynamics Nav 5.0 Ships...well, sort of
Microsoft released Dynamics NAV 5.0 right on schedule on 3/31/07. It's now available for Partner Download, but most installations won't be upgrading anytime soon. The current timetable shows the release version available for download now, the final CD shipping on...
Dynamics NAV 5.0: Miscellaneous Notes
I've finally had time to load the beta, order the beta license from MS, and get the whole thing going in a virtual PC. One of the things I picked out of the "What's New" training was the fact that...
Project Green Withers on the Vine
Project Green from Microsoft is dying. When Microsoft bought four ERP software packages, now named Microsoft Dynamics NAV, AX, SL, and GP, the company announced that their strategy was to merge all of these into a single product. Many of...
Nav 5.0 Installation
NAV 5.0 NA (North American) database is now out...actually, the second release is out. I thought I'd try installing the client and the database. I loaded up a virtual machine copy that I've got with Windows XP and a couple...
Nav 5.0: Why no entries?
Well, it's not Microsoft's fault. They released the beta. It's my schedule. You can tell from last week (no posts) that I've been out of town. Actually, it was only two days last week, but still it seems to have...
Dynamics NAV 5.0: New Features
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 beta is out and about, along with the "What's New" training manuals. There are two volumes of training designed for dealers and implementers, but the basic information should be available on CustomerSource as soon as 5.0...
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 Beta In Hand
Before I go, one more thing. I got the NAV 5.0 beta this week. It was in the February newsletter available for download. I didn't read the newsletter until Wed., but I've got it now. I also printed the training...
Existing Dynamics NAV Clients and NAV 5.x: Any Issues?
Will 5.x be .NET or C/SIDE? It's hard to tell exactly what Microsoft is going to do with 5.0/5.1. Version 5.0 will definitely be a C/SIDE interface. Last year (2005) at Directions, they announced that the development tool would be...
NAV 5.0 New Feature of the Day
NAV 5.0 rumors...rumors only, mind you. The jobs function of NAV will finally get some reworking. Better support for budgets. Support for fixed price jobs. Some other new stuff. More later......
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 New Features
Microsoft reps announced a number of forthcoming features at the Directions 2006 conference. I've been back for a couple of weeks and am finally hunting up my notebook to relay a few tidbits of information. None of this, of course,...
Support Discontinued for Dynamics NAV 3.7
I have trouble calling it Dynamics NAV. To me, it's still Navision. And version 3.6 was new when I first learned Dynamics NAV a few years ago. It's time for the 3.x versions to be retired, and Microsoft is doing...
