Summit EMEA 2017: The power of Microsoft Dynamics NAV reporting (and how to take full advantage)

Claus Lundstrøm has been a Dynamics NAV MVP since 2013, and jokes that "If you open up my heart you would see NAV tattooed there. I always tell people if you want to be safe and sound and sleep tight for the rest of your life, you'll start working on NAV because it's the best product. So this is a love relationship."

Lundstrøm spent 13 years at Microsoft, where he was a program manager for the NAV 2013 Report Designer, so he is especially passionate about reporting in NAV. He joined Continia Software in October 2014, which offers ISV solutions for Dynamics NAV, in payment management, document capture and output, and expense management.

He is also an enthusiastic trainer, having taught more than 1300 Dynamics NAV consultants and users in NAV reporting. He will present three sessions at Summit EMEA 2017 focused upon reporting, and which he described for MSDynamicsWorld.
