Do you have an older version of MS Dynamics NAV? Wondering what the fuss is about with the newest version of Dynamics NAV? In this article, we’ll give you a few reasons why you should make the jump and upgrade to MS Dynamics NAV 2018. Check out what’s new in NAV 2018 here.

Improved Core Functionality.

This is all about making things easier and more efficient and since the list is pretty large, I’ll only include some of the highlights. Who doesn’t want bulk order posting, invoice and credit memos, preconfigured Excel reports, improved check printing, and enhanced report previews. Couple this with improved user task management, workspace personalization, and customization, and you will have very happy users. You’ll be happy too with web client improvements and the addition of AI (Artificial Intelligence).

Integration with Microsoft Business Application. Because Dynamics NAV 2018 now shares the same platform with other applications, you’ll get the benefit of Office 365, Power BI, MS Dynamics CRM and MS Flow all working together. Users and admins benefit alike from both functionality and reporting.

Dynamics NAV 2018 Readiness. Are you ready to upgrade? Thinking you’ll lose functionality and integrations? Let’s go through some common questions/statements we get from our clients.

  1. Will we lose all of our customizations if we upgrade to NAV 2018? Short answer is No. You never lose any of your customizations when you upgrade from one version to another.
  2. We are using a very old version of NAV. Our experts can upgrade any NAV version from 3.7 through to NAV 2017.
