NAV 2018 release date
On-premise and in the cloud
The new version of Dynamics NAV is launched in a traditional sense, which means that NAV 2018 becomes available 'on-premise'. The NAV 2018 can thus be hosted locally on your own server, but of course also in the cloud on Azure.
Microsoft will also offer a new cloud solution for business administration which will be an extension of Dynamics 365 Business Edition and contains a full NAV. This version is launched in two versions:
-
A Microsoft Dynamics 365 application in the cloud that contains an online ERP solution that works across key business process areas such as sales, finance management and project management.
-
A business application platform that makes it possible to build and deliver vertical solutions in the cloud directly to customers with unique business needs.
Good news for the partner channel
The final confirmation of the launch of NAV 2018 is furthermore, a good news for the partner channel. Many Dynamics NAV partners which is likely to have delayed upgrade and implementation projects in anticipation of the upcoming new version of Navision can now move forward with these projects.
