Why Choose Concentrix as Your Microsoft Business Partner?

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an outstanding product. However, it's only as good as how well it's been deployed. In other words, Microsoft Dynamics NAV is only as good as how closely your consultant or business partner has worked with you and how well they've understood your business needs. Plus, it's only as good as how well they've translated this knowledge into business process improvement and technical configuration. It's also only as good as how well the project has been scoped, how well it's been managed, how well your users have bought into it, how well they've been trained, how well the products is maintained, and how well it's supported.

Implementing Microsoft Dynamics NAV is not something any business takes lightly. And, it's about far more than technical skills and ability (although these are of course essential, and Concentrix is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner!). So, Concentrix will also help you deploy the product quickly, with minimal disruption to your business. We'll help you scope the project, manage the implementation, train your staff, maintain, support and update your product and everything else in between. We work closely with our clients to ensure the product meets your precise business requirements - from workflow to technical. Then, by streamlining and simplifying your key processes, Concentrix will deploy Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 to improve efficiency and effectiveness throughout your organisation.

A Brief History: from Navision to Microsoft Dynamics NAV

The product was originally developed by a Danish mid-market ERP company called Navision, and the first implementations began in 1984. Microsoft purchased Navision in 2002. The software has been through a succession of name changes since then (including Navision Attain, Navision Financials, Microsoft Business Solutions Navision). Over the past few years Microsoft has spent significant resource enhancing and improving the product. From humble beginnings in Denmark in the 1980's, to the latest version, Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2, the product has been carefully developed to one of the strongest and most popular small to mid-market integrated business management solutions available.
