Frees You to Focus on Your Business
In 1494, the Italian monk Luca Pacioli wrote the world’s first book on accounting in order to “give the trader, without delay, information as to his assets and liabilities.” Five hundred years later, fast and easy access to bottom-line information is still what you need to run your business.
Today, however, the increased pace of business has intensified the need for efficient financial management even more. Therefore, the last thing you need is a business solution that slows down operations by placing new demands on your organization.
Far from inhibiting work, Microsoft Business Solutions–Navision adapts and evolves to match the way in which your business operates. It helps you discover opportunities and motivates users to do more and to learn more.
