Microsoft announced that Dynamics NAV is going to be the first of their four ERP systems to go to the cloud. Release 7 of NAV, scheduled to be out this year, will be cloud enabled. We at iNECTA are very excited about this news and simply can’t wait.

We are excited to start 2012 with new releases of NAV 2009. With Dynamics NAV framework moving into the Cloud and becoming increasingly connectable.

Looking back to when we started iNECTA in 2001, these 11 years have been very productive. It is great to be part of delivering a Microsoft product that is being enhanced every year and feels very complete now and at the same time having extreme flexibility.

I have personally worked with Dynamics NAV on a daily basis for almost two decades now. At this point, the product has become like a tool to meet the customers demands. It is like the perfect colleague that knows what you are asking for before you ask the question.

Looking forward to solving more problems with NAV in 2011.

-Johannes

After everybody in the iNECTA team has put their hand on the plough we have reach the goal.

REDMOND, Wash. — March 11, 2010 — Microsoft Corp. is offering midsize businesses looking to benefit from advanced functionality, easy interoperability with other line-of-business applications, and strong business intelligence reporting options a new incentive to switch from NetSuite to Microsoft Dynamics ERP. Companies in the U.S. can receive a credit of up to $850 for every NetSuite user that switches to either Microsoft Dynamics GP, Microsoft Dynamics NAV or Microsoft Dynamics SL. The new promotion is available until June 25, 2010. Businesses interested in learning more about the benefits and capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics ERP solutions can attend a free educational Web seminar on March 30 by registering at https://www.eventbuilder.com/event_desc.asp?z=g9q82p&p_event=2d5b0f03. They can also visit http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/rightstep.

Companies Making the Move

Many organizations wanting greater efficiencies and an improved ability to manage change are looking to Microsoft Dynamics ERP solutions. Archipelago Learning, a leading subscription-based online education company, and Winshuttle Inc., the leading provider of Microsoft Excel-based business process improvement solutions for SAP users, recently upgraded to Microsoft Dynamics ERP from NetSuite. With Microsoft Dynamics ERP, Winshuttle now has the multicurrency management it needs, while Archipelago Learning has virtually eliminated time spent on basic integration issues.

“The interoperability with Microsoft SQL Server means the ease of moving data between our data warehouses is just fantastic. In the past, I’d have to extract data from NetSuite, deal with throttling limitations, and eventually get my work done days later,” said Ray Lowrey, executive vice president and chief technology officer, Archipelago Learning. “With Microsoft Dynamics GP, I don’t have to be on the phone with software support technicians, escalating problems to try to get them resolved, because our experience is that Microsoft Dynamics GP simply runs without any problems.”

Choice of Deployment

Microsoft understands that as organizations change, customers want the option to have their solution delivered by partners either on-premise or via on-demand and subscription-based hosting models. According to Forrester Research Inc., “SaaS alone is constraining as an enterprise ERP delivery model, due to the wide variations in customer requirements.¹”

“To assume that a single deployment model for ERP will work for every business is unrealistic,” said Crispin Read, general manager of Microsoft Dynamics ERP. “By having a choice of owning an on-premise solution, subscribing to a hosted solution or combining the two at any point and time, companies have the option to make wise decisions that satisfy their specific business requirements.”

Microsoft Dynamics ERP customers can also choose to deploy a collection of online services to help them quickly increase their business capabilities, from the more than 150 Microsoft Dynamics partners across the globe delivering subscription-based Microsoft Dynamics ERP solutions. Connect Service and Payment Services are available now. Sites Service and Commerce Service are expected to be available in the first half of 2010.

“The hosting of Microsoft Dynamics ERP solutions is solid, proven and flexible,” said Olivier Meynier, director of SaaSplaza USA. “The real differentiator compared to NetSuite is the freedom of choice: We can incorporate Microsoft Dynamics with other solutions under one umbrella, or customize it with a large selection of vertical solutions and add-ons. This, coupled with our ability to offer state-of-the-art SAS70 II compliant hosting services, makes every SaaS Dynamics ERP implementation a sound business case for our customers.”

Microsoft Dynamics solutions are sold through an extensive network of more than 10,000 Microsoft Dynamics business partners. These partners have the advantage of extensive resources such as training, marketing, and field and sales engagement opportunities to help deliver customer satisfaction.

“This new offer enables our partners to provide customers with more options and is one of many investments we make in sales support,” said Doug Kennedy, vice president of Microsoft Dynamics Partners. “To deliver a choice of options, Microsoft Dynamics ERP partners who offer on-premise deployments can partner with hosting providers to provide the best level of technical expertise and skills for their customers and prospects.”

Bjorgvin,

Last June, General Motors, an American industry icon, filed for bankruptcy. What went wrong? Though analysts spoke of a variety of issues - very high labor costs, rising competition from Toyota and Honda, a frightening climb in fuel prices, credit freeze, the caving in of the American economy, drop in sales caused by lack of purchasing power among Americans due to the downturn–we cannot forget the time-tested Darwin theory on adaptation, ‘The Survival of the Fittest’.
