Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 Beta Available!

by Vjekoslav Babic on May 14, 2012

BetaI don’t know about you, but I think today is a great day: Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 Beta has been published on PartnerSource, and if you have access, you can download it from here.

I’ve been playing around with CTPs for more quite a while, and even though I can’t share any specifics, I can assure you: this is definitely the best release ever, technically, architecturally, functionally and from business value perspective. Whatever angle you take – this release is massive.

I believe I don’t exaggerate if I say that 2013 brings more news in comparison with 2009 R2, than 2009 brought in comparison with 5.0 SP1.

If you want to check more about what exactly is new, I suggest you read the white paper and accompanying documentation at the NAV 2013 launch portal, and I hope the MVPs soon get the clearance to blog about specific features. There are just so many fantastically exciting to-dos for this blog, about NAV 2013, that I’ll probably eat my fingernails – heck, the whole fingers! – in anticipation to be able to start.

Microsoft Dynamics Convergence All good things come to an end, and that’s exactly what seems to have happened with Convergence EMEA, the key Microsoft Dynamics conference in Europe. The news has hit hard with me; I’ve only attended it once, and now that it was to come so close to my hometown, it’s been cancelled.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Developer Center

by Vjekoslav Babic on February 10, 2009

Somehow I’ve missed it earlier, but a wealth of information for developers, architects and technical consultants specializing in Microsoft Dynamics NAV is now available on MSDN in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Developer Center.

While some of the resources there still forward you to PartnerSource, which won’t work for you if you are not a Microsoft Partner, many links will take you to publicly available information, documentation and tools that you can use to sharpen your Microsoft Dynamics NAV technical skills. Spiced up with a digest of Microsoft Dynamics NAV technical blogs, it can be a good morning coffee companion. Definitely worth your click!

Holidays are over, I’m back again

by Vjekoslav Babic on January 10, 2009

IMG_1015I’ve spent a week skiing in Austrian alps (yes, that’s me in the picture), and that’s why I didn’t moderate or reply to any of the comments here. It’s easy to set up the blog posts to auto-publish on a time schedule, but I’ve not found a way to do the same with the comments.

Now that I am back (in one piece), I’m going to be more active on this blog, which means that any comments will be moderated and replied to within a business day. I’m sorry for all of you who have commented and then had to wait for a week before your comments appeared here.

See you on Monday, with my next post about Degree of Fit, which I am glad to find out has spurred some interest already.

Top Ten Microsoft Dynamics Stories of 2008

by Vjekoslav Babic on January 5, 2009

MSDynamicsWorld.com, the independent authority for news and views on Microsoft Dynamics, has closed the year 2008 with a review of top ten stories published on their website in 2008.

Among the Top Ten stories of 2008 you can read a great article about RoleTailored interface, titled How Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Will Use the "Role-Tailored" Interface to Allay the Fears of Reluctant Users by Dave Roys, and my article about implementation best practices, titled Typical Microsoft Dynamics NAV Implementation Blunders.

I am especially proud that both mine, and my friend Dave’s articles have made their way into Top Ten. Both of these articles were written in the midst of writing our book, and taking time to write an article was next to impossible for both of us. I am glad to learn that both the readership and the editors of MSDynamicsWorld.com have found our articles good enough to include them in their Top Ten selection, among the strong competition.

You can read the whole article here.
