Announcing Dynamics NAV 2018

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 is finally here!

We last spoke about NAV 2018 back in October, when the release date was announced at Directions EMEA. Now the 1st December has arrived and so has the new version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

According to Microsoft’s roadmap, we can expect another release of NAV, NAV 2018 R2, next spring, before it joins Dynamics 365 “Tenerife” to become one solution, on cloud and on premises. During this shift, it’s unlikely that there will be a ton of new features to play with, as Microsoft focuses more on how they are bringing this offering to customers.
