The question is really: What does this mean to www.navision.net? Should we “take on” the Damgaard product and become wwww.navisiondamgaard.net? And what does it mean to our loved product? Best regards, Erik P. Ernst, webmaster Navision Online User Group
Well me think that marketing has screwed up on this one, for those who have never heard of Damgaard or Navision, pronouncing and remembering a company name such as NavisionDamgaard would be an impossible mission. But again that might be only me … tarek_demiati@ureach.com
Marketing??? Tell that to Preben Damgaard…the co CEO. I’m sure he might have an opinion on the naming schematic. The merger was a natural thing to do. The whole goal is to continue to develop both products while focusing on integration points for the future. Much like with Financials, Distribution, and Manufacturing all getting rolled into 3.0. The next major release would probably be a Navision Solutions combining with Axapta. Rememer what the technology that Navision is getting ready to release in the near future. Commerce Gateway (BizTalk), User Portals, Commerce Portal, and the technology surrounding the Navision Application Server, all drive towards connectivity of the Navision product with other products. Its just a natural progression.
Muzzy, I totally agree. This was the best that could happen!! Lars Strøm Valsted Head of Project and Analysis Columbus IT Partner A/S
