About Microsoft Dynamics - its history and scope
Microsoft Dynamics is the collective name for Microsoft’s suite of professional business applications covering enterprise resource planning (ERP), and specifically customer relationship management (CRM) and retail management solutions (RMS)
Microsoft’s Dynamics NAV division was formed in 2002 when the company acquired Navision, the Danish software company, which then merged with American software organisation, Great Plains, which had been acquired by Microsoft two years earlier.
Microsoft Dynamics currently supports a number of CRM, ERP and RMS products within its business software suite, including:
Customer Relationship Management Solutions
- Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Enterprise Resource Planning Solutions:
- Microsoft Dynamics AX (formerly Axapta, part of the Navision acquisition)
- Microsoft Dynamics GP (formerly Great Plains)
- Microsoft Dynamics NAV (formerly Navision)
- Microsoft Dynamics SL (formerly Solomon, part of the Great Plains acquisition)
Retail Management Solutions:
- Microsoft Dynamics RMS
Which Microsoft Dynamics ERP solution is for me?
At TVision our aim is always to understand our clients' business needs so we can deliver the best possible advice in findng the right solution. With such a range of different offerings from Microsoft, just knowing where to start can be daunting.
Our white paper Which Microsoft Dynamics ERP solution is for me explains the differences between the four Microsoft ERP solutions, AX, GP, NAV and SL and the when and where each is most applicable.
Our white paper Microsoft Dynamics NAV v Microsoft Dynamics CRM looks at where these two, apparently similar, products overlap and where their individual specific strengths indicate their suitability
Microsoft Dynamics NAV remains the most popular product within the ERP software suite and, with a vast series of international versions that support local fiscal requirements as standard, it has a truly global presence. Microsoft Dynamics NAV users now number more than one million worldwide, the first mid-market ERP system to break this number.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV offers ease of use
An enormous benefit of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is that is as simple to use as the Microsoft software you are currently familiar with, such as Microsoft Outlook®, Microsoft Office®, Windows®, Microsoft Word® and Excel®. This means your staff won't find it daunting to use, plus learning is greatly reduced.
Cloud computing is becoming increasingly popular and being able to access data from different locations - home, office or simply different - will soon become a requirement not an option.
All Microsoft Dynamics functionality is available securely on the Web to employees, customers, vendors, and partners so everyone can work together more easily.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV offers vertical and bespoke solutions
The standard solution
As a standard solution, Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a good match for many businesses. In fact, it is so eminently flexible that often the standard solution, coupled with minimal configuration, will provide a perfect fit with precisely the way you already are working.
The vertical solution
Microsoft also encourages partners to specialise in vertical industries and further develop Dynamics NAV to meet specific market needs. Microsoft provides partners with the tools required to effectively meet these specific requirements, understanding that it takes specialist partners such as TVision to evolve the product to provide the solutions for individual industries.
The bespoke solution
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is so adaptable that it can be developed by accredited Gold Partners, such as TVision, to achieve just the required degree of customisation to fit your business, without the need for a costly unique full-system build. Yet it fundamentally remains a Microsoft solution, with the assurance of the Microsoft brand, support and upgradability.
