Hi everyone,
I know the question is very broad, but feel free to narrate anything related to your experience of integrating NAV (2013 or later) with an external system.
If you desire to have a more structured answer, here are some aspects that I am curious about:
- A short description of the reason for integrating the two systems;
- How easy / painful was to perform the integration;
- On which technologies did the external system rely;
- Whether you feel that NAV’s constraints pushed you to over-engineered the integration;
- Whether you required a Developer License to perform the integration or a Customer License sufficed.
By external systems I mean: Intranet sites, Internet e-Commerce sites, Office Suite (especially Excel), console / desktop applications, scripts, databases.
By integrating I mean: using Web Services (SOAP, OData), XMLports, Queries, Codeunits, databases, files and various integration techniques to connect NAV to the external system and / or vice-versa.
Also, please let me know how can I change the question to be more comprehensive, or please edit it yourself if possible.
Thank you!
