The Ultimate Business Solution

Microsoft recently attended their annual partner conference, Inspire. It is held every year at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C. While at the conference, Microsoft unveiled their newest business solution, Microsoft 365. And no, we don’t mean Office 365. They are now offering a complete business package which combines Office 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise Mobility + Security.

Introducing Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 is being developed to be the ultimate business package. As a result, it will offer a complete and secure solution to all companies from small to medium-sized. The new platform will also provide convenience and offer new methods of collaboration. In addition, it is 100% secure. You can rest easy knowing your company data will not be put at risk.

Applications

Alongside this announcement, a new service was made available. Azure Stack acts as an extension to Azure, which opens up a world of new opportunities for cloud-based software. No matter where the location, Azure Stack enables consistent hybrid cloud integration. Hence, a new way to build applications.

When To Expect It

Although we are unsure of its launch, Microsoft 365 will begin previewing to the public on August 2nd. You can read more about the upcoming software release here.

Having a secure, reliable backup solution for your business is vital, no matter your company size. A great majority of modern operating systems come with backup utilities that are more than suitable to your needs. But when it comes to creating backup data, a big question is posed; Local Backup or Cloud Backup? Let’s look at the pros and cons for each:

Cloud Storage Backup

Pros

• Cloud storage conveniently stores your data by sending a copy to a secure, cloud-based server.
• Maintenance is as simple as giving your cloud storage provider a call.
• Scalability is a huge advantage, as you can easily increase storage space through your service provider.
• You can easily access your data as long as you have an internet connection.

Cons

• If your internet connection isn’t the fastest around, backing up your data can take quite a while.
• Backing up your data on a public cloud server is not feasible if your business handles highly sensitive data. You will have to pay more for a private server.

Local Storage Backup

Pros

• It’s a lot faster to store data on an external hard drive as opposed to uploading your information to a cloud.
• You have full control of your backup files.
• Disconnecting your drives will prevent your data from attacks.

Cons

• To create and maintain a local storage system for your business can mean big bucks. It can cost thousands of dollars for the hardware and software needed, with space being a factor as well. Upgrading is costly as well.
• On-site issues can destroy your local storage. Off-site backups are an alternative to avoiding this issue, but it requires a lot more work to maintain. And anytime your data needs updating, your off-site systems will need it too, resulting in a much more time-consuming struggle.

At the end of the day, both options will be able to safely back up your data. Which do you currently utilize? And which will you go with?

What Is Microsoft Dynamics NAV?

In the simplest terms, Microsoft Dynamics NAV is one of the leading Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software suites on the market. In particular, this ERP system is best compatible with mid-sized business models. This software is capable of handling manufacturing, retail, distribution, and other industries. With its initial software being developed by Navision A/S, the Denmark-based company was acquired by Microsoft in the early 2000s and set as a Microsoft Business Solution.

What Are Some Basic Functions?

Microsoft Dynamics NAV offers a variety of applications used for project management, financial regulation, manufacturing, and business intelligence. In addition, you can utilize this software for sales, quoting, and marketing. Being able to serve a multitude of markets, you can easily change it to suit your industry’s needs.

What Separates Microsoft Dynamics NAV From The Rest?

There are plenty of unique differences with this ERP system. For example, one of Microsoft Navision’s truly great benefits is the use of its Sum Index Flow Technology (SIFT). SIFT allows for less programming typically needed to keep ‘buckets’ of data up to date. You would normally have to post this data manually. Therefore, this ensures that the sum of all numbers tie out to their underlying details. What exactly does this mean? Let’s say a customer has a balance on their account. The open invoice is calculated and summarized in real-time, providing you with absolutely accurate results. Having this process streamlined will easily save you time and money.

Why Choose Microsoft Dynamics NAV?

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is developed with Microsoft platform technologies and runs on Windows and Microsoft SQL Servers. Having one channel to funnel through makes Microsoft Dynamics NAV very user-friendly and offers great convenience upon implementation. As a result, Microsoft Navision is one of the simplest and efficient ERP systems to use on the market.
