Full Microsoft Windows Capabilities

Microsoft Dynamics NAV has the same look and feel as all Microsoft products, including Windows and MS Office, which most operators are familiar with. It is built on Microsoft services such as the SQL Server database and Microsoft Sharepoint. Because of this and the product’s inherent flexibility, Microsoft Dynamics NAV requires less staff resources to manage. Any Microsoft trained professional can learn how to manage and operate the system in a very short period of time. Most accounting and program professionals are familiar with the Windows look and feel so training is much shorter and operators can be up and running much quicker than with competing systems.

In order for program managers to be more effective, they need easy access to reports on the items that drive profitability per project, from their unique perspective. The reporting must be impactful and valid and must be easily accessible over the web in real or near real time. Project managers are working in an ever changing world and are particular about the type of reports they want (economic value proposition per project, for example). Microsoft technology helps project managers break down their projects to the nth degree and track costs. Customers can do more profitability analysis and in real time view all project costs; growing trend to make project managers more effective and give them the tools to make their business more profitable.
