Presence on the internet

Information about Axapta prior to the Microsoft purchase was available on technet.navision.com, a proprietary web-based newsgroup, which grew to a considerable number of members and posts before the Microsoft purchase in 2002.

After Microsoft incorporated Axapta into their Business Solution suite, they transferred the newsgroup's content to the Microsoft Business Solutions newsgroup.[10] The oldest Axapta Technet post that can be found dates to August 2000.[11]

The full user has access to the entire system, whereas the limited user only has read access to the system and limited write access.[19]

From the Business Central rebrand launch, the licensing model changed to a per-seat license model with a 3x concurrent seat multiplier added to any existing perpetual licences from previous Dynamics NAV versions. Customers with a Dynamics NAV Extended Pack license were moved to the Premium edition.

History

Microsoft Dynamics was a line of Business Applications, containing enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM). Microsoft marketed Dynamics applications through a network of reselling partners who provided specialized services.[23] Microsoft Dynamics formed part of "Microsoft Business Solutions". Dynamics can be used with other Microsoft programs and services, such as SharePoint, Yammer, Office 365, Azure and Outlook. The Microsoft Dynamics focus-industries are retail, services, manufacturing, financial services, and the public sector. Microsoft Dynamics offers services for small, medium, and large businesses.[24][25][26]

Business Central

Business Central was first published as Dynamics NAV and Navision, which Microsoft acquired in 2002.

Navision originated at PC&C A/S (Personal Computing and Consulting), a company founded in Denmark in 1984. PC&C released its first accounting package, PCPlus, in 1985—a single-user application with basic accounting functionality. There followed in 1987 the first version of Navision,[27] a client/server-based accounting application that allowed multiple users to access the system simultaneously. The success of the product prompted the company to rename itself to Navision Software A/S in 1995.

The Navision product sold primarily in Denmark until 1990. From Navision version 3 the product was distributed in other European countries, including Germany and the United Kingdom.

In 1995 the first version of Navision based on Microsoft Windows 95 was released.

In 2000, Navision Software A/S merged with fellow Danish firm Damgaard A/S (founded 1983) to form NavisionDamgaard A/S.[28] In 2001 the company changed its name to "Navision A/S".

On July 11, 2002, Microsoft bought Navision A/S to go with its previous acquisition of Great Plains Software. Navision became a new division at Microsoft, named Microsoft Business Solutions, which also handled Microsoft CRM.[29]

In 2003 Microsoft announced plans to develop an entirely new ERP system (Project Green). But it later decided to continue development of all ERP systems (Dynamics AX, Dynamics NAV, Dynamics GP and Dynamics SL). Microsoft launched all four ERP systems with the same new role-based user interface, SQL-based reporting and analysis, SharePoint-based portal, Pocket PC-based mobile clients and integration with Microsoft Office.

Dynamics NAV

In September 2005, Microsoft re-branded the product and re-released it as Microsoft Dynamics NAV.[30]

In December 2008, Microsoft released Dynamics NAV 2009, which contains both the original "classic" client, as well as a new .NET Framework-based three-tier GUI called the RoleTailored Client (RTC).[31]

In first quarter of 2014 NAV reached 102,000 current customers.[32]

In 2016, Microsoft announced the creation of Dynamics 365 — a rebranding of the suite of Dynamics ERP and CRM products as a part of a new online-only offering.[33] As a part of this suite, the successor to NAV was codenamed "Madeira".[34]

Dynamics 365 Business Central

In September 2017 at the Directions conference, Microsoft announced the new codename "Tenerife" as the next generation of the Dynamics NAV product.[35] This replaced codename "Madeira".

On April 2, 2018, Business Central was released publicly[36] and plans for semi-annual releases were announced.[37]

Business Central introduced a new AL language for development and translated the codebase from Dynamics NAV (C/AL).[38][39]

Dynamics SL, Dynamics GP, Dynamics C5

Several variants of the Dynamics brand have migration paths to Business Central with most having not had a new release since 2018.[40][41] The later releases of the SL, GP, and C5 products adopted the Dynamics NAV Role-Tailored Client UI which helped pave the transition to the Business Central product.

Legacy Dynamics products and their support end dates[42]
Product Last major release Support lifecycle end date
Dynamics SL 2018 July 11, 2028
Dynamics GP 2018 R4 (Nov 2021) January 11, 2028
Dynamics C5 2016 April 14, 2026

History of Dynamics C5

Dynamics C5 was developed in Denmark as the successor to the DOS-based Concorde C4. The developing company Damgaard Data merged with Navision in 2001 which was subsequently acquired by Microsoft Microsoft in 2002 rebranding the solution from Navision C5 to Microsoft Dynamics C5.[43]

The product handles currently more than 70,000 installations in Denmark.

History of Dynamics SL

Microsoft Dynamics SL Connector

Based in Findlay, Ohio, Solomon's roots go back more than 35 years, when co-founders Gary Harpst, Jack Ridge and Vernon Strong started TLB, Inc. in 1980. TLB, Inc. stands for The Lord's Business, "to remind the founders why the business was started: to conduct the business according to biblical principles." TLB was later renamed Solomon Software, and then Microsoft Dynamics SL.[44]

History of Dynamics GP

The Dynamics GP product was originally developed by Great Plains Software, an independent company located in Fargo, North Dakota run by Doug Burgum. Dynamics Release 1.0 was released in February 1993.[45] It was one of the first accounting packages in the United States that were designed and written to be multi-user and to run under Windows as 32-bit software.[46] In late 2000, Microsoft announced the purchase of Great Plains Software.[47][48] This acquisition was completed in April 2001.

Dynamics GP is written in a language called Dexterity. Previous versions were compatible with Microsoft SQL Server, Pervasive PSQL, Btrieve, and earlier versions also used C-tree, although after the buyout all new versions switched entirely to Microsoft SQL Server databases.

Dynamics GP will no longer be updated after September 2029, with security updates through April 2031.[49]

Finance

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is a Microsoft enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for medium to large organizations. The software, part of the Dynamics 365 product line, was first on general release in November 2016, initially branded as Dynamics 365 for Operations. In July 2017, it was rebranded to Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. At the same time, Microsoft rebranded their business software suite for small businesses (Business Edition, Financials) to Finance and Operations, Business Edition, however, the two applications are based on completely different platforms. Its history includes:

  • 1998 (March) – Axapta, a collaboration between IBM and Danish Damgaard Data, released in the Danish and US markets.
  • 2000 – Damgaard Data merged with Navision Software A/S to form NavisionDamgaard, later named Navision A/S. Released Axapta 2.5. IBM returned all rights in the product to Damgaard Data shortly after the release of Version 1.5.

  • 2017 – Rebranded to Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise Edition[53] (not to be mistaken with Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations Business Edition, which is based on former Microsoft Dynamics NAV).

  • 2018 – The Human Resources Module became Dynamics 365 for Talent, now Dynamics 365 Human Resources.

    • Dynamics 365 Finance
    • Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
  • 2023 – Dynamics 365 Human Resources re-integrated

Sales

Old Microsoft Dynamics CRM logo

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales has undergone several iterations over its history.

Microsoft CRM 1.2

Microsoft CRM 1.2 was released on December 8, 2003.[55] Microsoft CRM 1.2 was not widely adopted by industry.[56]

It was not possible to create custom entities but there was a software development kit (SDK) available using SOAP and XML endpoints to interact with it.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0

The second version was rebranded as Microsoft Dynamics 3.0 (version 2.0 was skipped entirely) to signify its inclusion within the Dynamics product family and was released on December 5, 2005.[57] Notable updates over version 1.2 are the ease of creating customizations to CRM, the switch from using Crystal Reports to Microsoft SQL Reporting Services, and the ability to run on Windows Vista and Outlook 2007.

Significant additions released later by Microsoft also allowed Dynamics CRM 3.0 to be accessed by various mobile devices and integration with Siebel Systems. This was the first version that saw reasonable take up by customers.

You could create custom entities and (1xN) relations between the system/custom entities.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0

Dynamics CRM 4.0 (a.k.a. Titan) was introduced in December 2007 (RTM build number 4.0.7333.3 Microsoft CRM build numbers from version 4.0 to version 8). It features multi-tenancy, improved reporting security, data importing, direct mail merging and support for newer technologies such as Windows Server 2008[58] and SQL Server 2008 (Update Rollup 4).[59]

Dynamics CRM 4.0 also implements CRM Online, a hosted solution[buzzword] that is offered directly by Microsoft. The multi-tenancy option also allows ISVs to offer hosted solutions[buzzword] to end customers as well.

Dynamics CRM 4.0 is the first version of the product, which has seen significant take up in the market and passed the 1 million user mark in July 2009.[60]

Additional support for NxN relations was added, which solved a lot of 'in-between' entities. "Connections" were also introduced in favour of "Relations". The UI design was based on Office 2007 look and feel, with the same blue shading and round button as "start".

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

Dynamics CRM 2011 was released to open Beta in February 2010. It then went into Release Candidate stage in December 2010. The product was then released in February 2011 (build number 5.0.9688.583)

Browsers such as Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox browsers are fully supported since Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollup 12.[61] Because of this browser compatibility R12 was highly anticipated but also caused a lot of stress for customers that had used unsupported customizations. R12 broke those customizations and clients had to rethink their changes. Microsoft offered additional wizards to pinpoint the problems.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013

Dynamics CRM 2013 was released to a closed beta group on July 28, 2013. Dynamics CRM 2013 Online went live for new signups in October 2013. It was released in November 2013 (build number 6.0.0000.0809).

On January 6, 2015, Microsoft announced the availability of a CRM Cloud service specifically for the US Government that is designed for FedRAMP compliance.[63]

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 was officially released on November 30, 2015. It includes advancements in intelligence, mobility and service, with significant productivity enhancements.[65] In June 2016 was developed a special application which sends scanned info from business cards into MS Dynamics CRM named Business Card Reader for MS Dynamics and Call Tracker application in 2017.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 sales

Microsoft Dynamics 365 was officially released on November 1, 2016, as the successor to Dynamics CRM.[66] The product combines Microsoft business products (CRM and ERP Dynamics AX). A softphone dialer can be added as an extension.[67]
