Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 Highlights

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 is now available and offers impressive new capabilities to help small and mid-sized organizations grow their businesses in a mobile-first, cloud-first world. Here are 10 of the hottest new features and functionality NAV 2015 has to offer:

1. New touch-first user experience

There’s an app for that! With this release, new Microsoft Dynamics NAV tablet applications are available now from the Windows, Apple, and Google app stores. Users can access their company data and processes regardless of location or device.

2. Better display of key business data

Color is one of the best ways to get someone’s attention. When your system makes you aware of issues or successes, that’s powerful and drives action. Personalized home pages allow users easy access to the most important business data and key performance indicators (KPIs) with enhanced cues. At a glance, color coding and live data allow users to prioritize efforts and stay productive.

Take the Quiz: “Do I Really Need an ERP System?”

To help you understand whether an ERP system is required to help you run your business, we created the following quiz, which contains some of the most important questions a company should answer when thinking about buying an ERP system.

For each answer, you will receive a number of points. At the end of the quiz, add up your points to calculate your final score.

1. How much duplicate or manual data entry does your company perform on a daily basis? (e.g., entering received payments in both the accounting system and spreadsheet software).

1. 0 to 30 percent of my work (0 points)
2. 31 to 60 percent of my work (5 points)
3. 61 percent or more (10 points)

2. If you faced an audit tomorrow, what are the chances you can produce or recover the required information easily?

1. No chance. (10 points)
2. It might be possible. We sometimes back up data on CD/DVD or external hard drives but the information would takes weeks to locate and assemble. (5 points)
3. No problem. We have a central database repository of all critical information. (0 points)
