Last month, Microsoft announced the arrival of its new-and-improved<\/a> Microsoft Dynamics NAV platform during the Directions North America conference in Orlando, according to ZDNet. This updated iteration, codenamed "Tenerife," represents another step in the evolution of a powerful product that continues to move forward with the marketplace.<\/p>\n The roots of NAV<\/strong> Balser, Bang and Wind eventually launched their own company, called Navision, and began distributing their solution independently, developing an enterprise user base that stretched across Denmark. In 1990, the trio debuted an updated version based on the AL language. This digital dialect gave users and implementation partners the power to customize NAV installations via more than 1500 modular components.<\/p>\n
In 1984, Technical University of Denmark students Jesper Balser, Peter Bang and Torben Wind developed and released PC Plus<\/a>, an application that allowed organizations to track accounting and warehousing operations, according to ERP Software Blog. The three software developers built out the solution over the next three years and in 1987 launched NAV, which became the first enterprise resource planning solution to leverage client-server functionality. IBM went on to invest in the application, launching a proprietary platform called IBM-Navigator.<\/p>\n
