Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009

/ Enterprise Resource Planning

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 is the latest version of the ever popular Dynamics NAV ERP system. This new version comes with a few new features that are bound to make this a very different system from the earlier versions. Some of these features will be discussed on this page.


The new Role-Based client or thin-client

This is not a web-client as you might have thought, like us, when you first heard about the thin-client that would be delivered with Dynamics NAV 2009. This new client is different from the classic client in a number of ways.

  • It is “thin”. This means that the function such as posting are not performed on the client itself. This is done on the Application server, which is closer to the database, and can perform the functions much quicker;
  • It is “role-tailored”. What this means that for a given user the administrator can assign a role to user, this will then result in only the functions and information needed for that user will be available to the user. This results in a simpler interface for the users and in more productivity.

Web services access

One of the new technologies introduced in Dynamics NAV 2009 is Web Services. But on a serious note, this new technology in NAV 2009 underlines that our investment in knowhow and experience when it comes to Web services is been a good one, since this technology is one of our main expertise.


It is still the good-old Navision

Regardless of all the new features, if you already have your ERP system written in Dynamics NAV, you will be able to upgrade to this new version. This means that NAV 2009 is a platform for jumping onto the new technology bandwagon, without making your old system obsolete. This means that by upgrading to 2009, you can start using the new technology and stop using the old one gradually before later versions will make old parts outdated.
