Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 aangekondigd

Release 2 (R2) van Dynamics NAV 2009 is aangekondigd. Deze verassende aankondiging versneld de beschikbaarheid van nieuwe ontwikkelingen die voorheen voor versie “7” (begin 2012) gepland stonden. R2 komt in het vierde kwartaal van dit kalenderjaar beschikbaar.

 

Dankzij R2 kunnen klanten versneld profiteren van cloud mogelijkheden (payment services zoals credit card betalingen, integratie met Dynamics CRM online..!, Remote acces via internet - ideaal voor intensief SaaS gebruik), en versterken we het gebruiksgemak van de nieuwe role tailored user interface (nieuwe Windows 7 functies, en data visualisaties).

 

Een klant als Jade (hoofdkussens en dekbedden) in Deventer is sinds januari dit jaar live op Dynamics NAV 2009 en enthousiast over het gebruik van de role tailored user interface. Deze past perfect in hun visie voor zelfstandige medewerkers die beloftes aan klanten met plezier en met succes nakomen. Bijna de helft van de Jade gebruikers werkt regelmatig vanuit huis...(nieuwe werken, dus de remote werken wordt in de praktijk veel toegepast) en zij willen ook Dynamics CRM gaan uitrollen..(integratie is dus zeer relevant).

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 in Brief

The features in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 include:

· Microsoft Dynamics CRM Integration. Integration to Microsoft Dynamics CRM on-premise as well as Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. The integration will support Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and upcoming Microsoft Dynamics CRM 5.0.

· Online Payment Service for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. This enables customers to process payment transactions from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV interface across multiple channels, including e-commerce, point of sale and call center transactions. The Payment Service works with leading payment processing services and all major credit cards. Payment services are subject to local availability.

· RoleTailored Client Access for Remote and Roaming Users. Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 supports direct access from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV RoleTailored client over the Internet. This allows for remote or roaming users to take advantage of the richness of the RoleTailored interface and the manyintegration features connected to local resources, such as the operating system and Microsoft Office. This reduces the complexity and overhead compared with using other applications such as Citrix Systems and Terminal Services, enhancing the quality of experience, especially for hosting partners offering cloud-based Microsoft Dynamics NAV deployments.

· Microsoft Application Virtualization support. The Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 RoleTailored interface can be deployed using Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) technology. This provides a better experience for the end user as all integration with local applications is done on the desktop. It also cuts IT costs by centrally managing Microsoft Dynamics NAV client installations with automatic deployment to the desktop after an update.

· Windows 7 User Experience Improvements. Through Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2, jumplists can be used to open recently accessed customers and vendors for increased business productivity and efficiency, and the icon overlay functionality provides information on system events and status streamlined with the Windows 7 user experience.

· Treemap visualization. Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 showcases the possibilities around business data visualizations abilities in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 or later versions through rich ad hoc data visualization. It provides treemap analysis that enables the comparison of any two values, for example sales and profits, as well as manufacturing visualization, which increases business productivity and business insight.
