  • Dynamics NAV 2013–You’re going to love it!

    The nerd inside me of course have been excited about NAV 2013 for a very long time. Just as I’ve always been excited about new technology. I have already written about Navision 2013. In the post “ Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 – With my own first words ” I wrote a little about the changed development environment. It was maybe not the most positive “review”. But as about 50-70% of my time then this is where I spent most of my time is spent as a NAV developer, then...
  • Free Microsoft Dynamics Job Advertising

    Almost since our first website started in 1995 online advertisements for job offerings has been a part of it. It used to be known as the place to find job advertisements for Navision. At one point it was almost taking away the attention from the normal posts on the website and I raised the fees to get more serious job ads, as we heard many reports of “non-existing” jobs, just made to draw attention to the specific recruiters. These changes more or less stopped job postings, which was...
  • IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY–17 YEARS!

    These days are the birthdays of the Dynamics User Group. 17 years! That means that the teenager is about to be considered an adult here in Denmark. That makes me feel almost like a father look at his child. Also in regard to what this child is going be come when it grows up. 1995 Ever since I started the Navision Online User Group (NOLUG) with our mailing list back in 1995, over navision.net, mbsonline.org to dynamicsusers.net, I have loved what I have been doing. Providing and foundation for a community...
  • Where are Microsoft going with the Dynamics NAV license pricing?

    I just read Vjekoslav Babic’s post Licensing Model Changes for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 on http://msdynamicsworld.com . As of today October 1st. 2012 Microsoft are changing the licensing model for Dynamics NAV and Dynamics GP. They are introducing a new license price model with the Starter Pack and the Extended Packs replacing the BRL (Business Readly Licensing) BE (Business Essentials) and AM (Advanced Management) licensing. Microsoft is calling the new model for “Perpetual Licensing for Microsoft...
  • Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 – With my own first words

    It’s now over a month ago since the beta version of NAV 2013 was released . In the mean time I have been very busy, so the amount of time I have been able to spend on testing it is very little. In general I like the new version very much. Especially the action bar over the lines (e.g. sales lines). They have been doing a great job for the end-users, and that’s really what’s the most important thing. The fact that the classic client is no longer available in NAV 2013, is no news...

  • Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 Beta released

    You may have already seen it in Vjeko ’s or Waldo ’s blogs, but even so, then I think that this new is so important that it has to be said again. But the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 beta has been released for download on Partnersource . The biggest change in regards to Dynamics NAV 2013 is that the classic client is no longer available. The Role Tailored client as you know it from Dynamics NAV 2009 is now the primary client and is now called the “Windows Client”. In addition...

  • SOPA would mean a goodbye to community websites

    I have just read this article about a new law in the US called SOPA, or the “Stop Online Piracy Act” , and it is headed through U.S. Congress with its sister bill PROTECT-IP in the Senate. And while I’m not usually writing about political issues, then I need to mention this and point your attention to the fact that if this law would ever come into effect, then it would limit any website in the US (or maybe even sites being “broadcasted” into the US) from being able to operate. They would basically...

  • Microsoft PartnerSource NAV Favorites (updated)

    Partnersource is Microsoft's closed site for their partners to gain access to everything from sales and marketing information, whitepapers, new versions and updates etc. But also their knowledgebase including a lot a listing of registered errors and issues (and sometimes including references to fixes and work arounds). If you're a customer, then you might know Customersource. Partnersource is very similar designed. Compared to the rest of Microsoft's website, then Partnersource is really...
  • A Change in the Dynamics/ERP Industry?

    Having worked with Navision since 1990 is quite a long time. And it is also quite interesting to look back upon that time. Both for me personally, but also also on the many changes in the industry. When I started most of our Navision customers were small clients with 1-3 users, and back in the early nineties then a client with more than 20 users was considered a large client. Later I worked a lot with customers with more than 100 users, actually some going up to almost 5000 users world wide (but...
  • Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Programming Cookbook

    It has actually been quite a while since this book was released (it says October 2010 in the book), but somehow I had missed it in the stack of books on my desk always waiting for me. And reading has not been what I have done most the last year. Matt Traxinger is known in the NAV community as MattTrax, where he has been spending a lot of time on Mibuso and of course on my own home-base the Dynamics User Group. The book is a real "cookbook" - not a lot of text - but a lot easy to use "recipes"...
  • Navision will not die

    Over a year ago I wrote a blog post Microsoft is killing Navision about the effect of Microsoft’s change of the name from Navision to Microsoft Dynamics NAV. I was and I am not very happy about this name change, read my old post if want to know why. But I just made a check up on the same statistics and basically then I can say that since one year ago, then the numbers are pretty much status quo. In the above graph you can see that not much has changed the last year. In fact if you look closer...
  • Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Upgrades and the RTC Reporting Nightmare

    Typically I’m not the one who is writing too much about “technical issues” in my blog. But that doesn’t mean that I’m never dealing with “technical issues” – in fact programming and other technical issues is what I’m doing more than 50% of daily working time. And while this blog post is more “technical” than normally, then it’s not really technical. It’s more about my experiences with NAV 2009 upgrades as seen on a little higher level. Until recently then I have not been doing so much work on NAV...
  • 7th time in the row - MVP award renewed

    Just a very short message. Today I received the yearly letter from Microsoft, that my MVP Award for Microsoft Dynamics NAV had been renewed. This is the seventh time since I first got it in 2004, when Microsoft first introduced the MVP award to the product that back then still was called Navision. Thank you, and thank you to everybody for the support. Thank you for using my website.

  • The new Microsoft Partner Network and what it means to the industry

    Last week Microsoft announced the new Microsoft Partner Network at their Partner World Conference in the US. As Waldo wrote in his blog post , then one of the changes is that Microsoft now requires more people and more certifications from their partners, if they want to continue to be the “best of line” partners, what they used to call “Gold Partners”. But there are other changes than new requirements toward certifications and number of people. In the material sent out by Microsoft they state these...
  • Goodbye Microsoft

    Whenever Microsoft are changing their licensing rules then it means that a number of customers says “Goodbye Microsoft”. And the changes Microsoft did as of June 1st is no difference. Yesterday I had a customer contact me because they had received an email with the following message: On June 1, 2010, Microsoft will begin requiring a Business Ready Enhancement Plan when making additional license purchases on supported versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Dynamics AX. My customer had received...
