Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the best ERP for Portuguese small and medium sized companies. The main reason for this statement is in the more than 200 clients won in just 4 years of presence in the Portuguese market and more than 35.000 clients around the world.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV (old Navision) is an ERP composed by modules, which are in turn yet subdivided into granules. These granules enable the client to choose only what he wishes to buy and nothing more, thus reducing the purchase and ownership cost. Besides the functionality being modular the tools for programming design, personalization and add-ons are divided into modules as well as granules. This careful design offers great advantages in flexibility. By allowing to buy the exact functionality needed, execute the personalisations that are deemed necessary at each step and later add functions according to the wish of the user.

This new concept of development of an ERP enables, for the first time, to harmonize the advantage of having a standard product whose costs are completely controllable with the advantage of development made to measure, which enables a great adaptation of the application to the company’s business and not the opposite, as up to now. Microsoft Dynamics NAV also has the best integrated system of development guided by objectives in the ERP market. The described flexibility and capacity of developing applications guided for the client are two of the great weapons of this product.

On the other hand, Microsoft’s already famous capacity to build friendly interfaces, the extremely short learning time and the great integration capacity with the other applications of this product (for example the integration with Microsoft Office) enable speedy projects and with controlled costs. These projects when implemented by a company that knows and clearly controls Microsoft Dynamics NAV, are the attributes for making an ERP profitable in just less than a year.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a multi-enterprise, multi-currency and multi-language product thus enabling to grow with the business.

These are the arguments that today make Microsoft Dynamics NAV the most successful ERP in the small and medium size companies.
