From Navision to Microsoft Dynamics NAV to Dynamics 365 Business Central
The story begins with Navision
The story began in Denmark in 1983. The software company, PC&C A/S later Navision Software A/S, was the first to develop a user-friendly IT-solution with basic accounting functionalities for a single user. Later, the solution was developed to include several users at the same time and was also developed to involve more processes and departments.
During the next 20 years, Navision grew with more functionalities, until it could finally be classified as an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
