At the time when writing this post .. I’m in the plane after a most amazing day. You might not know, but since a few years, we (that are Mark Brummel, Gary Winter, Vjeko and me) have been working on-and-off on an initiative called “Partner Ready Software“.

NAV2013 is officially on Azure!

waldo — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:57:36 GMT

On Azure that is!

Today, Microsoft announced (or at least it got only to my attention today ) the official release … Continue reading »...(read more)

Availability of NAV2009 (Advanced) extended

waldo — Thu, 16 May 2013 00:01:01 GMT

This is an example of “double ethical ambiguity” (like we called it in school – a long time ago (in a galaxy..)). As NAV2013 is the best release ever (which I really mean in many ways) .. and can even sometimes called “the release that NAV2009 should have been” .. then why is Microsoft pleased … Continue reading »...(read more)

waldo — Wed, 15 May 2013 00:01:31 GMT

I use the Jobqueue as much as I can for automating jobs. It’s decent, stable, good, flexible. It makes sense, doesn’t it?

The power of Variants

waldo — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 07:41:37 GMT

This blogpost of Arend Jan Kauffman reminded me of a topic that I wanted to write a very long time now. Namely working with Variants.

waldo — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:01:41 GMT

As mentioned earlier, I have split up the Platform Updates list into the different versions of NAV. Here is the NAV2009 version. When going through the KB articles, I also found this one quite interesting: A costing hotfix rollup is available for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009. It doesn't really qualify as a "Platform Update", but still, I think it's very interesting to give it enough attention.. ....(read more)

Platform updates overview – NAV2013

waldo — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:22:39 GMT
