Easily Adaptable ERP for Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) Dynamics NAV (formerly known asNavision) is an easily adaptableEnterprise Resource Planning (ERP)solution which helps small and medium-sized businesses to automate and connect their sales, purchasing, operations, accounting, and stock management. It covers all your business processes from finance and purchasing to warehouse management and general reporting. Plus, it’s super flexible and can be customised to fit your business no matter what your industry. Going forwards, when we talk about Dynamics NAV features and functionality, we will be referring to those available to you in the latest version –Dynamics 365 Business Central. Read about our support Dynamics NAV software dates back to the 1980s where it was known as Navision. We have a handyhistory of Dynamics NAVtimeline which maps the life of our beloved productthrough to the current day. In addition,our comparison table for the different NAV versionswill help you understand when specific functionalities were introduced. If you're wondering why you can't find any mention of Dynamics NAV on Microsoft's website, it's because they rebranded it toDynamics 365 Business Centralin 2018! So,what is the difference betweenDynamics NAV and Dynamics 365 Business Central? In short, Dynamics 365 Business Central is just it’s new name – it’s that simple! Click here for Dynamics 365 Business Central Click here There’s never been a better time to upgrade! By upgrading from Dynamics NAV toDynamics 365 Business Central, you not only have a platform that doesn’t require large, time-consuming updates – you also have a system that’s safe, secure and fit-for-purpose! In our experience, a lot of businesses upgrade to Dynamics 365 Business Central because they’ve been using versions of Dynamics NAV that are outdated. And as many of these products reach end-of-support, meaning Microsoft ceases any and all updates, it’ll become harder and harder to resolve issues – particularly when it comes to security. For many businesses, robust security is an industry or regulatory requirement. They need to have up-to-date security across all areas of their business and so they remain or upgrade to a supported Dynamics NAV version. Of course, upgrading can be a daunting task; it requires time, money and resource – often more than some businesses are willing to part with. There are options to suit all requirements, and don't worry, we won’t ever force you to upgrade and can continue to support your existing solution! Dynamics NAV Upgrading Explained Book here Here at TNP, we concentrate on the important stuff. Most people buy something, put it away, sell it, manage the cash and work out how muchmoney they've made in some way. We make sure we get the basics right before we deal with your complexities. We follow our tried and tested'Day in the Life' methodology, successfully implementing Dynamics NAV or Dynamics 365 Business Central into hundreds ofhappy companies. See our step-by-step project methodology and imagine a scenario for your business needs. Read about our project methodology Many of our customers are on older versions, with the majority using versions that pre-date the current Role Tailored Client (RTC) visual style interface (we call these 'Classic' versions).However, while we support customers with older Dynamics NAV systems, we love to talk about bringing our customers into thenew world of Dynamics 365 Business Central. That said, we also recognise the financial and time pressures may mean people want to stay on their old version for now. If this sounds familiar and you are not ready for the jump into the new world, fear not as there are a lot of things you can do to your current system to get a boost. Our founder can often be heard using the phrase ‘Lipstick on a Pig’ which refers to improving your Classic NAV system. At TNP, we never push people to upgrade before they are ready, and we happily provide support for older Dynamics NAV systems until customers are ready to move on.We can support functional code in any old version. Of course, we can’t change the fundamental kernel of these older systems. This means that as Microsoft drops support for security fixes for these older versions, there will always be some risk in staying on these systems that is harder for us to mitigate. But rest assured, we will do what we can to keep your old beauty running. Book a Health Check here Do you have a Disaster Recovery strategy in place to protect your business systems from ransomware?
