Microsoft is killing Navision

Erik P. Ernst — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 17:52:00 GMT

If you like me thought that a career working with Navision, or Dynamics NAV as Microsoft likes to call our system, would be a career for life then I think you need to start and rethink that option.

Luc (the owner of Mibuso) had...(read more)

So how do you see the Dynamics future comparing to Oracle and SAP?

Erik P. Ernst — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 08:34:00 GMT

A friend on Facebook asked this question yesterday. My initial answer was that I don't think that we'll see any big changes in the market with the products we have now.

The State of the Community

Erik P. Ernst — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:13:00 GMT

Is it to the better? Or?
