Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, formerly called Dynamics NAV and Navision, provides small and midsize companies a comprehensive, unified platform for common business processes including financials, inventory control, operations, capacity planning, procurement, sales and marketing, demand forecasting, and advanced analytics. Built on the Microsoft cloud and driven by SQL Server, Dynamics Business Central features tight integration with popular Microsoft applications including Office 365 Word, Excel, Outlook, Power Platform, Teams, Microsoft AI tools, and Azure Active Directory. A range of Power Platform-based add-ons like Business Central Sales are available from the Microsoft AppSource, and customizations can be developed using Visual Studio Code. Support for multiple currencies, exchange rates, and localized tax regulations allows Dynamics 365 Business Central to be used by multi-national businesses.
The on-premises version of Dynamics 365 Business Central can be run locally and the Software-as-a-Service version can be run from the Microsoft Azure cloud or implemented in a hybrid model. Some capabilities, like connecting to Teams, are offered exclusively with the cloud edition. The legacy Navision product that developed into Dynamics 365 Business Central was initially released during the 80's as an international enterprise resource planning (ERP) program. Progent's consultants have supported the Navision/NAV product line for decades and can assist you to manage outdated systems or migrate efficiently to modern on-premises, cloud, or hybrid solutions.
