On February 5th, Microsoft will unveil Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, the newest version of the solution. This new version places emphasis on a greater depth of integration between NAV and other Microsoft applications such as Microsoft Office.

Some Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 features:

• Simplified access to information
• Improved organizational agility
• Streamlined integration with a wide range of applications 
• Enhanced reporting capabilities – even for the most highly specialized industries and organizations

In anticipation of the new version, members of the AVF team have been working with a beta version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009. In the coming months, we will continue to master all facets of the software so we can provide this cutting edge solution to our customer family.

We are also excited to be able to offer the only electronic payment processing solution, ChargeLogic, to be fully integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009. Jonathan Cooper will be on hand at the launch party in New York to represent ChargeLogic at this exciting event. (See below for more information about the NAV 2009 Launch party in New York. )
