By Aleksandar Totovic
1 person likes this.
Having embed PowerBI in Business Central is well known fact, but recently in Fall ’18 release, Microsoft made it even better because now you have already added PowerBI reports on all pages where they were planned to be. OK, it is nice to have and it can be time saver, because you don’t need to waste your time to add reports to page-by-page. But what if you are not satisfy with it how these reports looks like? If you want to change something? Previously it was locked, but now… Now it looks amazing.

Is Dynamics NAV going away?

By Mark Rhodes
Be the first person to like this.
Yes, ….. and no. Heard about Dynamics 365 Business Central? If not, or you don’t know much yet, you’re not alone – about 40% our community hasn’t (according to our member survey last month). Business Central is the new name for Dynamics NAV.  Microsoft released the cloud version, hosted on Azure, in April.  The on-premise version (aka NAV 2019) will be released this fall. So what’s this mean to you and your organization? If you’re like most, your key concerns about what’s happening with Dynamics NAV are straight forward: Will we be able to keep using Dynamics NAV / Business Central for our operations? How much is it going to cost us? You have a ...
