Dynamics NAV. The fact that there is a development environment built-in
and the ability to customize anything has provided a very compelling
product. In the development process, being able to retain flexibility
and ease of use of the product – the two main enablers of customization
– is without doubt always a key priority for us,” Elsberg added.
