Innovia Newsletter, January 2017

 , 

We design our newsletter to help you stay on top of technology trends, industry news, and NAV developments.This is going to be increasingly challenging as Microsoft continues to move fast in the enhancements for both NAV and Dynamics 365, so we have our work cut out for us!  

I am really excited about a series of articles coming from Bradley Franz, one of our Senior Development Consultants, starting with this month's What You Need to Know About NAV Events - Part 1.  We know Microsoft is striving to have all customers stay current with NAV, even those with a tailored solution, and that they are making technical changes in the architecture. We have always believed in this goal but the architecture and tools haven't supported it as well as we would like. It appears that is finally changing.  I think you will like Bradley's posts as they have specific examples - rumor even has it that we can go deeper with an upcoming webinar.  We are always looking for feedback on the blogs and webinars, so please drop us a line if you find them helpful or have suggestions. Thank you!
