He explained that ERP system is an integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise; hence it becomes a core business application that enables a company to streamline its operations to develop into more efficient and effective entity.

He also said that Microsoft’s Dynamics NAV ERP system includes software for manufacturing, order entry, accounts receivable and payable, general ledger, purchasing, warehousing, transportation and human resources.

Introducing the product, Suleiman Lukman, one of Signal Alliance’s Solution Developers and leading Dynamics expert, described the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 edition as the most powerful, cost-effective, robust and flexible mid-market business management solution available. 

“This is one innovation that will stand the test of time. If adopted, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV will drive revenues considerably and reduce cost of operations drastically,” he said, adding that the solution is very flexible in its adoption, allowing for it to fit the organization seamlessly.

He also said that the general Microsoft office interface is retained so users could immediately find it easy to adapt in reducing training time.

Executive Director, Business Applications Division, Mr. Emeka Achebe-Okosieme, said that the Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the competitive edge companies are looking for to adopt.

“One of the strong points of the NAV is that it is International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) compliant,” he said.

According to him, this is crucial because the new requirement by all companies in Nigeria is that they must submit their financial report in the IFRS format.

The NAV also protects a company’s investment in Microsoft solutions by integration with Microsoft Office. Signal Alliance’s vast experience and wealth of technical expertise will serve customers very well in adopting the NAV solution.
