History of Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision):

Integrated enterprise management system Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the result of long working years of a significant number of professionals in the automation field. The system story begins since 1983. In those years creation, development, implementation and professional support of this software were performed by Navision Company located in Denmark. Initially the system was developed as a system for accounting automation for Denmark and Norway, and since the 90s of the 20th century the geography of its application was extended to Germany, Spain, and Austria. Since that time, Navision has become a recognized system in Europe and since 1992 the program appears on the USA market. Wide functional possibilities, easy and reliable operation contributed to the rapid growth of Navision popularity. Here at the functionality of the system is constantly expanding and exceeded the scope of the financial circuit - the system has been developed to a level of the enterprise integrated automation. In 2002 Navision was acquired by Microsoft Corporation, which created a separate division Microsoft Business Solutions for its further development. Since then the system has developed significantly and become one of the most popular in the world. In 2004 Microsoft rebranded the product from Navision to Microsoft Dynamics NAV. This name is known on the business systems market today.
