• Collaborate and communicate effectively with access to Microsoft Office Outlook, Microsoft Office Excel, and Microsoft Office Word from your Role Center, making it easy to find, use, and share information.
• Access improved context-based Help that provides descriptions and explanations in a clear​“how-to” format.
• Individualized user experience, via personalized menus and shortcuts, grants access to common tasks more directly and efficiently. Get up to speed right from the start with a familiar, intuitive user interface for all your business needs.

Enable users to make fast, informed decisions based on real-time business intelligence.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV ERP Software is largely developed on a .NET architecture and runs on Windows OS with MS SQL Server as its database. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is offered as either an on-premises deployment installation or software-as-a-service (SaaS) cloud deployment.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV enterprise resource planning software setup and configuration are user-friendly through the use of wizards and sequential routines. Use wizards for creating setup configurations for security permissions, maintenance, auditing with role-based security features, and remembering user and company settings. 

• RoleTailored Client (RTC) can be configured specifically for each user to show all the features, tasks, reminders, and documents needed to efficiently and productively streamline the day’s work.
• C/FRONT enables easy sharing of information from Microsoft Dynamics NAV into familiar programs such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
• Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) allow two-way communication between Microsoft NAV and other third-party software via an ODBC connection.
• Microsoft Dynamics NAV XMLport objects allow system administrators to import data into NAV in an XML format for a streamlined way of exchanging information.
• Extensible web services allow for real-time data sharing and the integration of business processes across disparate business applications: The Web Services Layer connects with the Business Services Layer to provide security, policy validations, defaulting, and exception management. These two layers then interact with the Business Logic and Persistence Layer within eConnect, providing a reliable and secure integration ERP solution.
• Extensible business reporting language (XBRL), an XML-based protocol, uses customary financial reporting criteria to export across many financial software products and technologies. 
• Transact-SQL stored procedures, the database language that manages the ERP software application and database, is built to allow financial reporting to be consumed in multiple languages and formats. Financial information is imported automatically without the need for manual entry.
• The software customization capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics NAV ERP solution allow users to make simple or complex modifications without extensive IT involvement due to its technology architecture and secure integration with the Microsoft technology stack (including SQL Server, .NET, Windows Workflow Foundation, etc.).
• Some of the software development tools that allow for customization to the Dynamics NAV ERP solution are an application builder, which allows for additional functionality to be built but does not allow access to the write-protected tables; a page and form designer, which allows the creation of up to 100 forms and objects and gives customization options of new menu items; a data port designer that permits access to write-protected tables, the creation of business rules and new calculations, and the ability to customize reports; a solution developer, which permits complete development control and the merging of menus and new data types that can be integrated into the base ERP application; a table designer that allows users to customize multiple styles of reports or tables for organizational or individual user needs; and an XML port designer that allows for the customization of XMLport objects.
