How Microsoft Dynamics NAV helps improve Business?
Daily, an irresistible amount of data is accumulated, analyzed, and exchanged. The quantity of data captured across the globe is rising exponentially. At present, 75% of that data is unstructured and remains idle i.e. it is not analyzed at all. Thus, it becomes necessary to find better ways of organizing and processing that information. Today a single global network connects the world; communications have become more intricate than before, hence, it is now feasible to set-up a variety of online calls, instant messaging platforms, via a wealth of support systems, on multiple devices. Dynamics NAV offers considerable enhancements to the core application, as well as deeper integration with Office 365 and Power BI.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV acts as a fundamental system for most retailers as it helps in controlling your financials, sales, supply chain, business intelligence and more. Dynamics NAV supports multi-currency and language capabilities that make this tool a complete ERP solution. Integrating Microsoft Dynamics and other services inside the enterprise augments business effectiveness and streamlines processes. Allowing communication between Microsoft Dynamics and systems such as SharePoint, OneNote, CRM, Salesforce, Google, Office 365, Outlook, E-commerce Magento & POS, allows organizations to better leverage disparate data. Moreover, it also helps in creating connectivity to social media services such as Twitter or LinkedIn so that you can have a single view of the customer.

However, the look and feel of systems and applications remains similar; the implementation and training processes become much easier.
