The best thing about using Microsoft Dynamics NAV as an ERP solution is the ease at which it makes controlling of activities. Taking control over chain supplies and operations makes it easy to track commercial usage, thus promoting the growth of business ambition. As Microsoft sets to release Dynamics NAV 2017, there is growing excitement among NAV fans. Some of the expected features include:
Further assimilation with Office 365
The new Dynamics NAV 2017 ensures office 365 is easier to navigate and manageable to allow customers and colleagues to review, analyze and share data on different platforms. Fitted with a new user interface, Office 365 works seamlessly across various solutions, allowing organizations an easy time accessing documents and files online. The Office 365 integration with NAV, will also include improved MS Word, SharePoint and Outlook integrations which will allow employees to save time by working exclusively out of NAV 2017 instead of having to continuously switch back and forth between applications. It also will have a new & improved Power BI module that is directly embedded in it for more powerful reporting.
Azure
When Microsoft designed the Azure cloud platform, the main goal was to enable users more time and resources and increase efficiency. The cloud platform is critical part of the future NAV 2017 for online users. Not only is Microsoft Azure the best cloud platform in the business currently, but it’s the most advanced. Paired with efficiency and profitability, it makes data storage and recovery much easier.
