What's New in NAV 2017?

These features help your business operate more efficiently and tie into other Microsoft product solutions you are already using.
Licensing of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017
When deciding how to set up your NAV environment, you need to choose between perpetual and subscription licensing models.
As you might expect, perpetual licenses only need to be purchased once. Subscriptions have lower upfront costs but are billed monthly based on your functional and user-level choices.
In her pair of blogs and webinars, Pat Lacouture explains this process for both User Licensing and Functional Licensing.
OneNote Integration
As with much of the Microsoft 365 suite, OneNote works well with NAV 2017. Bob Beaird shows you some of the underutilized features of OneNote/NAV integration in an on-demand webinar. Just fill out the short form below to watch now!
Cumulative Updates
Keeping your system updated is critical to your success and peace-of-mind. Microsoft regularly releases bug fixes and security updates that keep your system in the best shape possible.
Innovia Consulting regularly releases blog posts listing the latest cumulative updates for each version of NAV and Business Central. Be sure you are subscribed to get our blog updates so you know when we release them each month. You can also find all our cumulative updates posts, including the most recent, by clicking below.

Do you Need Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 Support?
Innovia has a dedicated, 24/7 support squad for all versions of NAV, including the latest version of Business Central and NAV's predecessor Navision. Follow the link below to learn more about our Support Squad and to submit a ticket.
Need a New Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 Partner?
As with any ERP solution, the key to unlocking the potential of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 is a great relationship with your partner. Your Microsoft Partner is the one who both implements your system and supports your team with ongoing concerns and changes.
For Innovia, though, this relationship goes even deeper. We do not interact with our customers purely on a transactional level; we also invest our experienced team's time and talent into growing their businesses. This commitment leads us to do things a little differently. We come on-site regularly to assess your team's needs and have our account managers, who are all world-class business leaders in and of themselves, help you make business decisions strategically. We do not charge for this service, by the way! Also, when we know of an ISV solution that works most effectively for you, we introduce you to them, rather than try to convince you to buy more hours from us.
Oh, and don't forget our annual Customer Conference event, where we cover your lodging costs and do not charge registration. It is always full of sessions from both Innovia's team and ISV partners on the latest solutions available.
