Summary


In this chapter, we saw how to handle the implementation of Dynamics NAV from a customer's perspective. We've covered a few areas but the whole idea is that you, as a customer, have to manage the implementation as a project. The implementer cannot do all the work for you. People within your organization will have tasks and responsibilities assigned, and you will have to monitor and control all those tasks.

Do get involved with the project management and with the project's progress in order to make the project successful.

In the following chapter, you will see how a company may have data in other applications (their old ERP system, spreadsheet files, and so on) and how it can be massively imported to Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
