At NAVUG Forum Town Hall, Audience Digs for Microsoft Commitment, NAV 7 Details

November 11 2011

NAVUG members attended the Forum 2011 town hall meeting with plenty of questions for the panel of Microsoft representatives led by Microsoft Dynamics NAV product manager Todd Bergeson.

IMO, NAV doesn't scale well. This is partly due to the data structure, with "Company" as the top element representing a single company. At least in europe it is unusual that you have only one company representing the whole operation when you reach "midmarket" size. With that you will have several companies, resulting in master data management issues, intercompany transactions, consolidation and so on. On all these topics NAV is rather weak. with best regards Jens Glathe
