In this chapter, we have seen that Dynamics NAV is an ERP system targeted at small and medium-sized companies.
Dynamics NAV is focused on roles and their daily tasks and offers solutions in different functional areas including financial management, sales and marketing, purchase, warehouse, manufacturing, job, resource planning, service, human resources, and add-ons created by partners. We have described each functional area so that you know what can be expected.
Dynamics NAV can be used on different environments such as the Windows client, the Web client, tablet client, the SharePoint client, or an external application that connects to Dynamics NAV via Web Services. The development environment is used to develop new features on top of Dynamics NAV.
In the next chapter, we will cover the new features released with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 in detail.
