One of Microsoft Dynamics NAV’s differentiators is the use of Sum Index Flow Technology or SIFT for short. At best you can only be ‘mediocre.’ Rapid access to information If you can’t do it in a unique and better way, you won’t be the industry leader. Yet in the end, what differentiates one company from another? The way they do business. Some vendors who can’t do this easily like using the term ‘best practices’ but for many, that really means, you should adapt to the software and not the other way around. That is that companies don’t want to ‘pretzel fit’ to the way a software designer wrote an ERP or accounting system, but rather want to tailor the solution to their unique business requirements.

I used this term because although Microsoft Dynamics NAV out of the box includes many features and functions and is ready to operate out of the box, it’s real strength lies in its underlying design and philosophy. The Dyanmics NAV listing on Wikipedia used my often quoted description of Navision as an “ERSP System Construction Set”. This all funnels down into Financial modules such as General Ledger, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. Navision (Dynamics NAV) is an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) Solution designed for small to mid-sized businesses to automated the majority of their transactions from CRM (Customer Relationship Management), to Quoting, Ordering, producing, shipping and Invoicing on the sales side, to Purchasing, Receiving, Paying and Inventorying on the supply side. Later, as Microsoft Business Solutions found they had 4 ERP solutions: Navision, Axapta, Solomon and Great Plains, they decided to merge the brand and now call the solutions Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Microsoft Dynamics AX, Microsoft Dynamics SL and Microsoft Dynamics GP respectively. Microsoft then acquired the company in 2001 and renamed it Microsoft Business Solutions Navision. There are a few names this solution has had over the years based on time frame and ownership. “What’s Navision?” This is a pretty basic question that we probably haven’t answered before.
