Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a complete solution for business management, designed to help small and midsized enterprises streamline and simplify their business processes. The software tool can adapt quickly to any specific business operation and delivers functionality that is industry specific and relevant to the local needs of the company’s areas of operations. The simplified customization, rapid adaptability, ease of use, and online capabilities provided by the Microsoft business software tool allow enterprises to add custom applications and functionality and helps them to stay competitive and effective.
The software’s modules are grouped by functional area and coded for easy identification of which licensing package is needed. Businesses have to possibility to choose between two Business Ready Licensing packages depending on the level of functionality needed: The Advanced Management preferred by growing companies that need highly complex accounting and financial programs, and the Business Essentials designed for companies that need easily scalable trade functionality and core financial management.
Both licensing packages can be upgraded with additional a la carte components that provide more features. The Microsoft business solution is licensed with license keys and requires registration that enables the chosen number of users and unlocks the licensed functionality.
The Microsoft Dynamics NAV is organized in modules or granules that contain series of objects. A module or granule can also contain other granules and it is a set of object permissions that are added to a license key. Granules that are grouped together form license keys and certain granules may require others as pre-requisites for the license key. From a security standpoint, user access rights are controlled by the System Administrator. Each new Business Ready Licensing site needs to order a site license and a Foundation Pack.
The powerful Microsoft financial reporting tool is used by the financial analysts and accountants to extract business data from the budgets, chart of accounts, cost types, and cash flow accounts into financial reports used to monitor the business and provide input for management decisions.
