The theme of this issue of NAVUG™ Magazine is driving efficiency, and that is the
theme of our community, too. Ultimately, NAVUG exists to help its Members get
more out of their Microsoft Dynamics NAV system. Within these pages we have
great articles to that end, including our interview with Bob Buccigrossi about
how EBO Group identifies and incorporates opportunities for improvement with its system
as well as what first-time NAVUG Summit attendees Paula Cook and Adam Johnson took
home from the event experience in order to better their usage of Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
The magazine is one source among many to help you take your Microsoft Dynamics NAV
solution to the next level. If you haven’t visited our refreshed website yet, schedule some
time this week to meander through the resources (www.navug.com). There are thousands
of recordings, blog posts, slide decks, discussion threads, instructor-led classes, and much
more. We’re very proud of our recent progress in providing you a direct channel to Microsoft
for sharing how Microsoft Dynamics NAV can be enhanced or improved to increase your
efficiency. Check out the “I Love NAV” community on the website, and sign up for the
Microsoft ACE program, a brand-new opportunity for providing feedback on what’s being
developed for the next version. And finally, we always want to hear from you regarding which
topics you want to learn more about through training, webinars, meetings, etc.; just drop us
a note at [email protected].
In closing, during this holiday season, let’s remember those less fortunate and make sure we
give back in a meaningful way. And especially, let’s spend quality time with friends and family,
and focus on the truly important things in life.
In honored service of your community,
Mark Rhodes

...with NAVUG™ Members
We reached out to the NAVUG community with this question: “How has Microsoft Dynamics NAV supported the growth of your business and systems?” Here’s what we heard.
Steven Chinsky program/project manager – finance | Quidsi [email protected]
The process I use for identifying new opportunities for
improvement to leverage Microsoft Dynamics NAV is:
Monthly review of all processes and pain to staff
Vendor/Customer support improvements
Cost savings (both FTE and work/life balance) on automating
processes internally and externally
We have added solutions over the last two and a half years to
support more integrations and processes, including:
Automated bank reconciliation twice a week
Wire transfer and positive pay automation with our bank
AMEX and Chase integration for corporate credit card
program processing
ExpenseWatch integration for expense report processing
Automated import of spreadsheets from multiple external
systems to create journal entries, sales invoices, and purchase
credit memos
Microsoft Dynamics NAV security for SOX compliance
Veronica Woo ERP enterprise manager | AMCOL International [email protected]
Microsoft Dynamics NAV has enabled AMCOL to deploy an
ERP system in our three major business segments and 14 countries
across North America, EMEA, and APAC. This allows us to

We have made Microsoft Dynamics NAV the centerpiece of our
growing business. The ease of programming and robust nature
of XML web services functions have allowed us to fully integrate
Microsoft Dynamics NAV to multiple external systems, some off
the shelf and some custom. This enables us to create a unique
business offering and a higher quality of customer service,
which has become the cornerstone of our marketing and sales
activities. It is reassuring to know that our business opportunities
are not limited by our ERP or IT systems. NAVUG

Q4 2014 | 15
With more than 25 years in the technology field along with invaluable experience
in the U.S. Navy, Paula Cook, a Microsoft Dynamics NAV programmer at
The Ken Blanchard Companies, epitomizes teamwork and tenacity.
Paula started her naval career at a time when women had to volunteer to
go on ship. She was one of the first 72 women aboard alongside 380 men.
“It all came down to teamwork. Being on a floating vessel in the middle of the ocean, it simply has to
run as a well-oiled machine! We were successful together.” Paula continues, “It also helps to have a bit
of innate tenacity; if you don’t have what you need, you need that ‘get up and go’ to get at it.” Being
one of 14 children in her family, Paula definitely knows a thing or two about teamwork and tenacity.
It was during her three years in the service where her technology career got its start. Paula worked
in data processing with computers that were taller and wider than she was. While attending the Naval
Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, she worked with Army colonels on voice analysis,
“training” computers to recognize voice intonations. She received her degree in computer science
while at the Naval Postgraduate School. From there, Paula says, “The rest is plain old experience. The
beauty of the service is gaining that hands-on experience you learn from each other, not from a book.”
Traveling the world while in the Navy greatly contributed to that experience, giving Paula profound
memories. “Travel is an education,” she says. “All your senses are put in motion when you’re in
another country.” With trips to Egypt, Greece, Spain, and more, the Navy enhanced Paula’s love for
travelling and diversity. “Going abroad makes you realize just how big the world is and that for us to
be successful, we must all get along.”
Paula recalls her time in Egypt as eye-opening. “I remember seeing children go to school on the
side of the road with a board up against the tree. That was their education. The trip really made

THE DEFINITION OF TEAMWORK
PAULA COOK
“The beauty of the service is gaining that hands-on
experience you learn from each other, not from a book.”

me appreciate what I have, especially
the beauty of U.S.A. and our freedom,”
Paula continues. “I mean, we can flip a
light switch, and the light comes on. Not
everyone has those little luxuries.”
Serving in the Navy has instilled a work
ethic in Paula that’s strongly admired in
the NAVUG™ community. Her tenacity,
organization, and dedication to getting
the job done are apparent in her daily
tasks as a programmer at The Ken
Blanchard Companies and as a first-time
attendee at this year’s NAVUG Summit.
With a blue notebook in hand and
detailed issues to solve while at the
conference, Paula was on a mission to
not only find resources, but also to be
resourceful. “NAVUG Summit quickly
gave me that sense of Navy comradery
where everyone puts their heads down
and comes up with a solution. I am
very happy to report back on great
learnings, solutions for my issues, and
new relationships I made during the
event. I’m already registered for next
year!”
Paula creates and maintains a highly
customized Microsoft Dynamics NAV
solution for her company with more
than 16 interfaces. “My time in the Navy,
along with my upbringing, continuously
helps me recognize and cherish
the importance of good teamwork
and organization. I identify those
characteristics in NAVUG, and being a
Member has already made it even more
possible to get my work done correctly
on the first try.” NAVUG

Multiple Uses for Account Schedulesby Kerry Rosvold
t t&TIPS & TRICKS
Account schedules produce base financial statements – and so
much more! Here’s my top 10 list of reports, other than a trial
balance, income statement, and balance sheet, that I produce using
account schedules.
1. Statement of Cash FLOWS (SCF)
Yes, this is a base financial statement, but there are so many people
who are not using account schedules to produce this one. It can be
done, I promise! The best advice I can give you is to make sure you
understand your SCF well enough to be able to use your trial balance
in order to construct it using Microsoft Excel first. If you can do that,
then you know enough to be able to build it in account schedules.
2. Gross Margin Reports
Since my company uses dimensions on our items at a high level
grouping as well as at a 1:1 level with the item, I’ve got some great
gross margin reports that allow me to see what our margin is a
number of different ways. I can see what larger groups of items are
doing and I can also get down to the level of an individual item.
3. Reports Using the General Ledger
Account Number in the Columns
This is one of the shortcomings of Microsoft Dynamics NAV
account schedules. You simply cannot design column layouts that
utilize general ledger (GL) account numbers in the columns. I had
someone request a GL walk forward from gross sales to net sales,
showing columns for individual GL accounts such as discounts and
returns in the columns and then dimensions for our items in the
rows. This would be a very ugly report if I was limited to only a few
GL accounts in the rows and many columns full of dimensions. I
needed to twist this one around, and I did, by putting it into Excel
and using Paste Special and Transpose.
4. Reports that Answer Specific
Questions (for example: “How much did we spend on this
activity for this project for this team?”)
This starts to get into heavy dimension territory, and for this report,
activity/project/team are all designated dimensions that I have in my
system in order to make this report possible.
5. Lead Schedules
When I review my accounts at the end of the year – and prepare for
my auditors to arrive – I prepare lead schedules for both the balance sheet
as well as the income statement, so I can easily review groupings of like
accounts together and get quick year over year comparisons. I use the
same lead schedule to monitor clearing accounts that need to have zero
balances and also to make sure blocked accounts stayed blocked with a
zero balance throughout the year. The lead schedules give the auditors
a consistent checklist of accounts to reference as they work through the
annual audit, making the inevitable variance discussions easier to handle.
6. Consolidated Financial Statements
I have more than one company to keep track of, and I do so using
multiple companies in the same Microsoft Dynamics NAV database,
and then use the consolidation feature to move all the financial detail to
a single consolidation company to use for reporting. The consolidation
company and the subsidiary companies all have a consistent shared chart
of accounts, so it is very simple for each company to have consistent
shared account schedules between them. If you look at an income
statement in Company A, it looks exactly the same as Company B
because I copied and pasted the schedule from one company to another.
Even if your chart of accounts is not the same between companies, you
can still use consistent account schedules between companies with a
little extra work needed to map accounts to the right lines.
7. Sales Every Day of the Month
We’ve got some great reports set up that give us daily information in
Microsoft Dynamics NAV, and we can break down, by dimension, what’s
going on with things such as sales so we can quickly identify trends.
8. Many Years of Information at a Time
Oftentimes we get into the rut of what’s happened this month or
this year, but when you start to work on forecasts or annual budgeting,
bringing the view out to a higher level is a great tool. Don’t forget that
you can look at many account schedules for a longer time frame as
long as you’ve been gathering information in Microsoft Dynamics
NAV for that long.
9. Budgets
Other than once a year when I use the budgeting feature to load a
new annual budget, I use account schedules to look at budgets. It’s a
great way to get a quick read on what the plan was without having to
switch out of my primary reporting tool.
10. Ratios
Need to see Accounts Receivable Turns or Days Sales in
Receivables? What about Inventory Turns? There are a lot of ratios
that can be measured using account schedules!
Bonus! Simple Queries
I’ve never really formalized this method, but I actually use it a lot. If
someone asks me for detail on what we’ve spent on a project or what
portion of a certain expense account a particular team has used, I can
whip up a quick temporary schedule that will get me the info I need.
I’ve found this particularly useful when needing to solve dimension
problems. Using the ” (two single quotes) as a designator for finding
“blank” dimensions was a great tool back in the day before I understood
how to completely prevent that from happening, and by using an account
schedule to show designated dimensions as well as blank dimensions, I
was able to solve that type of problem quickly. NAVUG

More BI Options
for Microsoft
Dynamics NAV 2013
In last year’s Q4 (winter) edition of NAVUG™ Magazine, I
wrote about business intelligence (BI) and Microsoft Dynamics
NAV. I also relayed the NAVUG Academy class offerings that
could help Users get the right information to their team, in
the right format, and at the right time. Since then, I have had
many different discussions with NAVUG Members relative to their
favorite BI tool. In addition to the robust Microsoft Dynamics NAV
ISV offerings out there, one that always seems to come up is the
Power BI collection from Microsoft.
According to Microsoft, “Power BI for Office 365 is a collection
of features and services that enables you to visualize data, share
discoveries, and collaborate in intuitive new ways.” The majority of
Power BI features are found in Microsoft Excel® and allow Users to
create, modify, extend, and collaborate in a very familiar tool. These
features consist of Power Query, Power Pivot, Power View, and Power
Map.
» Power Query – Lets Users connect to data from public and
corporate data sources. This includes capabilities to easily
transform and merge data from multiple data sources outside
Users’ corporate infrastructure.
» Power Pivot – Enables Users to create sophisticated data models
with data in Excel by creating relationships, custom measures,
hierarchies, and KPIs (key performance indicators). Power Pivot
models run at lightning-fast performance.
» Power View – Creates reports and analytical views through
interactive charts and graphs that help Users explore and present
their data visually in Excel.
» Power Map – Takes a look at Users’ data on a 3D map in Excel.
One of our most outspoken NAVUG Members on Power BI
is Cristian Nicola. He feels that Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users
should take full advantage of these robust features to enhance their
data visualization options. He has written several blog postings on
the topic and continues to be a huge advocate for this technology
offering to our NAVUG community. To that end, Cristian has offered
to assist NAVUG Members by providing real-world, hands-on virtual
classroom training via NAVUG Academy. Starting in Q1 of 2015,
Cristian will provide a series of Power BI Academy classes that will
focus on Members’ specific needs. He will teach the basics of Power
BI and how Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users can combine business
data from their Microsoft Dynamics NAV systems and other external
data sources to create robust data analysis and visualization solutions
in Excel.
We are super-excited to bring this new Microsoft Dynamics NAV
BI offering to our Members! Check out our NAVUG Academy site at
www.navug.com/academy to find the most recent NAVUG Academy
Power BI classes. NAVUG

story by Rich Beliveau
Q4 2014 | 19
NAVUG™: Your Convergence 2014 Europe keynote was very successful. Was that your first time in front of that many people? Marko Perisic (MP): This year has been very
busy. While there have been many large stage
events where I was talking about the product,
Convergence 2014 Europe was the largest to date.
The Microsoft Dynamics NAV demo is great,
and it is a lot of fun to showcase it in front of 4,500
people. Having a fantastic product to show and a
world-class team empowers you to do your best in
front of the audience.
NAVUG: How long did you work on the mechanics of the demo to prepare for the keynote?MP: The demo itself is one of the first demos we did
as a proof of concept for the end-to-end scenario.
We always have a “north star” demo that rallies
the team around it. Think of it like this: If we can’t
end up doing this, then what is the point. That was
the demo at Convergence, not to detract from it,
because we think it really showcases the power of
“One Microsoft” and how Microsoft Dynamics
NAV is a critical part of that value proposition.
The mechanics of demoing and stage
preparation took about two days. You are
continuously rehearsing, getting feedback,
checking the technology, and so on, but at the
same time, it builds a team and a team culture for
all the presenters. We all end up supporting and
helping each other.
NAVUG: What did you hear from Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users after that demo? What aspect seems to resonate the most with them?MP: I think people are finally understanding that
the “app” is not just about what runs on your
device. It is the service in the cloud that brings
the value, and the device “apps” are a means to
delivering that service capability across multiple
devices in different contexts.
We are done with the days where a User picks
one client as a preference of use (Classic, Windows,
or Web Client). We are in the world of “AND”.
Users will be using multiple clients and devices in
different contexts as they interact with the service
in the cloud. The demo at Convergence showcased
that perfectly, and people got that clarity.
NAVUG: Last time we talked, you were working on “Crete” but couldn’t share much more than the code name. We now know that “Crete” is Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, which has been in market since the beginning of October. What is the response thus far?MP: Overall, Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 is the
most successful product launch to date. There has
been overwhelmingly positive feedback about the
value we bring and the effort we made to minimize
the disruption of an upgrade.
NAVUG: After conversations with Users at Convergence, what aspect of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 seems to have the most traction with them?MP: Everyone loves the big rocks in the release: The
tablet experience, the Word reporting, the upgrade
tools, cash management, and simplification.
Everyone gets the value instantly.
I think this is the release where there has been the
least dissonance in what we at Microsoft perceive
as value for Customers and what Customers
themselves perceive as value. We intend to keep it
that way and improve further.
NAVUG: What’s next for your team?MP: We have already started building our next
release, code named “Corfu” to keep with the
tradition of picking a Mediterranean island as our
code name.
In this release we will unlock some amazing
new experiences and change how the business
solutions world perceives productivity and
integration with online services. What will not
change is our commitment to deliver high value
with minimal disruption. We will ensure that
there is a natural and easy path, with absolutely
minimal effort for Customers and Partners to
move to “Corfu”. NAVUG

Paula Cook,
programmer at
The Ken
Blanchard
Companies
As an organized go-getter, Paula
came to St. Louis prepared with all
her questions and issues written
down in her blue notebook, hoping
to find answers in the sessions she
planned to attend. Much to her surprise and delight, Paula
received answers not only in the sessions, but also during
lunches with Keith Owen of Restaurant Supply Solutions and
experts like Mark Brummel, at the I LOVE NAV booth in the
Expo with senior support engineer Thomas Brownell, and while
mingling with attendees in the hallways.
Paula described Summit in a few (quite accurate) words: “Sensory
overload…in a good way!” Here are her top three takeaways and
how she’s implementing what she’s learned to drive efficiency:
» Paula showed her list of questions to Thomas Brownell at
the I LOVE NAV booth and one by one, he tried to resolve
the issues as best he could. Not everything could be resolved
at the booth, so the Microsoft employees said to send them
an email and they’d work on finding solutions. “To me as a
developer, that is just priceless,” Paula says.
» Lisa Ramsey with Western Computers gave a session about
role-tailored views that showed Paula the importance of
testing scripts, which shows a User step by step how to test
a feature in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Lisa emailed Paula the
testing scripts soon after the event so Paula wouldn’t have to
start from scratch. “We’re highly customized at Ken Blanchard
and need to modify the scripts with my tasks, but having a
starting point is such a huge benefit,” Paula shares.
» Another developer, Keith Owen, helped Paula solve a
shipping tracking issue where Users can now click on a
tracking number and have that direct to UPS or FedEx to see
exactly where the package is. Paula was struggling with how
to write code that creates a simple workflow for her Users,
but getting that written code from Keith alone was worth the
cost of her trip.
Paula got back to the office excited about all she learned and
shared it with her team immediately. In fact, Paula is already
registered for NAVUG Summit 2015 in Reno and is determined to
stay engaged with new relationships she made this year as well as
take advantage of valuable online resources and blogs.
Adam Johnson,
director of
sustainability at
Log House Foods
Inc.
As a first-time attendee and relatively
new Microsoft Dynamics NAV User,
Adam thought Summit was an amazing
event: “The great sessions, experts, and
networking really opened up all we can
do with Microsoft Dynamics NAV; there was just so much to take in.”
Adam hit up mostly the manufacturing sessions to understand
how other Users were using Microsoft Dynamics NAV for workflow,
seeing what’s been successful, and how they could apply it to their
business model. Adam appreciated how the NAVUG tracks were
broken out by job function. “That really helped me pinpoint what
sessions to go to, and when there are four to five other sessions that
you’re trying to choose from, that makes a huge difference.”
Here are a few of Adam’s learning highlights from the event:
» The “Ask the Experts” sessions were Adam’s favorites, since
he had particular issues to address and took away some great
resolutions. One has allowed Adam to formulate a better
workflow for his warehouse and production staff to move
excess raw materials from production back to their proper bin
locations. “A couple of others in the room had written custom
code to alleviate similar issues, but we use Microsoft Dynamics
NAV mostly out of the box, so I wanted to stay away from that,
and they still had solutions to offer.” Adam has introduced the
new checklist to his teams, and it’s already working well.
» Adam met Bob Buccigrossi at a few of his sessions and was
able to pick his brain. Adam recalls, “Just having access to
the different experts and making relationships within the
community in itself is worth the time and investment we put in.”
» Adam attended a Business Leadership session presented by
Andy Hafer, CEO of Dynamic Communities, and took away a
ton of useful information. “We’re a smaller company and have
people from older generations, but we’re hiring new people
who are a lot younger. Knowing how to present trainings to
these two generations is a struggle, and that session helped me
identify the need to explain things differently.”
Adam and his colleague came back to the office very excited and
also signed up to attend NAVUG Summit next year. “The variety of
content at NAVUG Summit was incredible. We were surprised and
impressed with how much useful content was available and are excited
to attend again next year,” concludes Adam. NAVUG

SUMMIT LESSONS TO DRIVE EFFICIENCY

theme, “Experience It”, took on a whole new meaning as first-time attendees made their mark in St. Louis. Read on to learn what
a couple of those attendees learned and are already implementing at their own organizations to drive efficiency.

Like many Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users, Bob Buccigrossi,
business system improvement manager at EBO Group, Inc.,
had too many department managers directly contacting
their Microsoft Dynamics NAV Partner about product
enhancements. There just wasn’t a good methodology of
funneling projects to ensure whether the enhancement was worth the
time and cost investment. “We didn’t have insight into why we needed
a certain enhancement, what exactly it was affecting overall, what it
would ultimately cost us, and finally an idea of the ROI,” Bob says.
EBO Group needed a streamlined way to monitor and classify
whether an enhancement actually needed to be done. The first
step was shifting the current departmental or silo thinking to a
complete operational thought process. Instead of one person in each
department making the decision, EBO Group assigned a set team
made up of its IT manager, its CFO, and Bob. This team now makes
sure an enhancement is really worth the resource and dollar costs
associated with it. They also ask the question, “Should we make this
change to Microsoft Dynamics NAV, or should we instead change
our process?”
Clear Objectives; Clear Deliverables
Bob and his team created a product design program request form
that includes background issues along with a suggested resolution.
He works with organizations to identify clear objectives and then
submits that to their Partner. The Partner then replies with a time
and cost estimate. Alternatively the Partner may suggest that the
organization hold off as the enhancement will be in the next upgrade.
Bob shares that estimate with the appropriate department head and
the president at the organization, ensuring that the enhancement is
worth the investment. Once it’s approved, the Partner gets going on
the customization and sends it for Bob and team to test in their test
system. After user acceptance testing verification, it is loaded in the
live environment.
This process holds both the Partner and EBO Group accountable
and also allows EBO Group to build a better understanding of their
product environment. By requesting detailed product programming
specifications with a written form and the Partner signing off on the
document, each party has clear expectations of the project.
Here’s an Example of Bob’s Process
in Motion…
» A warehouse manager and shipping clerk meet with Bob and
request an enhancement that allows access to the same shipping
labels they use for a standard sales order as they do for transfer
orders, where the inventory isn’t housed in their location.
» After that meeting, Bob fills in the product design program
request form that includes the current functions and keystrokes
they go through to get what they need as well as his suggested
enhancement along with where he wants the new function to be
located. He then emails that form to their Partner.
» The Partner responds with their expected completion date and fee.
» Bob takes that estimate back to the warehouse manager and
president to see if it’s worth the investment.
» The warehouse manager and president approve its worth, so Bob
gives the greenlight to their Partner.
» Once the Partner completes the enhancement, they load it in the
test system for user acceptance testing.
» Bob and team will test out the enhancement and see if they need
tweaks.
» The Partner then loads it into the live system where it undergoes
continuous improvement through User testing to to meet their
changing business needs.
Learning from the Past
Having been through a number of enhancements, Bob has learned
the hard way a few times. “I would have to say lack of testing leads to
the biggest problem areas and issues,” he says. Sometimes they run
into issues months after the enhancement is implemented, but with
continuous improvement as their goal, Bob doesn’t get discouraged
with those few instances.
Putting their programming request together is another area Bob
has had to work on to avoid project scope creep. “We have to include
immense detail for every scenario,” Bob shares, “and that’s really
difficult to do, but ultimately worth the time investment in the end.”
ROI Calculation
That ROI calculation is a tricky thing, but Bob has a process for
that, too! Although it really depends on the enhancement itself, EBO
Group takes it in stages by figuring out a theoretical ROI first, and
then after several months of the enhancement in place, presents
the actual ROI to clearly state the before and after. Many times, the
easiest way to track success is when they don’t have to hire another
employee after the fact.
Final Advice: Leaner is Better
“As we delve into our own Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015
upgrade, it’s even more apparent to ensure our business processes are
as lean as possible,” Bob says. He recommends eliminating as much
waste from the process itself as well as understanding what standard
Microsoft Dynamics NAV can already do. A gap analysis can also
help in understanding how much of the gap you want to address in
one enhancement or if it can be in multiple enhancements. “It’s plain
and simple,” Bob concludes. “Do NOT let your ERP system add waste
to your business process.” NAVUG

CREATING A LEAN BUSINESS PROCESS FOR
Q4 2014 | 29
Giuseppe Ianni
Founded in 1999, k-eCommerce got its
start by enhancing the buying experience
for its online retail clients. The company
specifically worked to streamline
efficiency for those clients by integrating
its e-commerce platform with enterprise resource
planning (ERP) software. In 2005, k-eCommerce
brought its solution to the cloud and opened its own
data center where the company now hosts websites
as well, handling IT and web support, providing
web design, and offering custom web development.
We sat down with Giuseppe Ianni, vice president
of sales k-eCommerce, to learn more.
NAVUG: How does k-eCommerce work with Microsoft Dynamics NAV?Giuseppe Ianni (GI): We have a graphic (see
next page) that really speaks to how we sync
all e-commerce data with Microsoft Dynamics
NAV from a visual standpoint. But in more
detail, k-eCommerce integrates with the web
service client in Microsoft Dynamics NAV
2013 and SQL so that a client’s website captures
orders and customer information, and then
takes that back into Microsoft Dynamics NAV
automatically. On the flip side, when Microsoft
Dynamics NAV is down or undergoing updates,
the web store will stay up and run business as
usual until Microsoft Dynamics NAV is back
online, and then update all data at that time.
This streamlined and automatic integration
works both ways and ensures that data is in one
place and talking to a customer’s web presence
at the same time. With k-eCommerce, all Users
get the same data and in close to real-time,
helping enhance what they’ve already invested
in Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
NAVUG: How does k-eCommerce help drive efficiency for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users?GI: Fast deployments, flexibility, and scalability.
Specifically:
k-eCommerce is an out-of-the-box integrated
web store that can be customized through Model
View Controller (MVC) to have complete control
over what customers see. Sites can go live in weeks
versus months.
k-eCommerce can also be deployed at any time,
whether you’re just deploying Microsoft Dynamics
NAV or with Microsoft Dynamics NAV already in
place. The solution also works with other ERP and
CRM solutions as well as eBay, Amazon, and other
online marketplaces. The flexibility really can’t be
beat.
k-eCommerce has built our platform to be
capable for more than what you need; this way,
clients can have the features they need today as
well as scale to what they need as years go by.
NAVUG: What do Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users find most shocking about k-eCommerce?GI: The different architecture in Microsoft
Dynamics NAV 2013 Web Client has opened doors
for our solution, making it possible to implement an
add-on versus a brand-new solution from scratch.
Most Users are accustomed to building custom

solutions inside of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, versus something
that works with the solution but sits outside of it. This classic way of
thinking can get very expensive fast, but with k-eCommerce, Users
don’t have to consider a massive upgrade to get the functionality they
need. Although a shock to Users, it is a very compelling reason to
consider our solution. For example, we sponsored NAV Directions
this year and got feedback from attendees like, “This is how it should
be done, built outside of Microsoft Dynamics NAV.”
NAVUG: What are online retailers demanding more of these days? GI: The #1 request we get is, “Can you take me mobile?” And with
responsive web design, we certainly can! By creating a responsive
website, you get a unified look across all web-enabled devices. We
leverage Bootstrap, a mobile first front-end framework, to ensure
an omni-channel experience with tablet and mobile capabilities.
This technology uses one style sheet, simplifying plug-in
management of different resolutions while still providing a great
User experience.
NAVUG: What does it mean to offer an omni-channel experience, and why is it so important? GI: Omni-channel means selling with the same effectiveness and
efficiency across all devices and channels. Whether our clients are
selling to businesses or straight to consumers, people aren’t just using
their computers to shop online any more. They’re also buying items on
their phones and tablets while in line for coffee or on the bus, so having
a streamlined User experience where it’s three clicks and you’re done is
crucial and really what consumers are demanding today.
NAVUG: What should Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users look forward to with k-eCommerce?GI: We’re constantly adapting the back-end platform with new
features, but the integration with Amazon and eBay is a great new
feature for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users. This provides the
interface to get data to Amazon and eBay while also taking orders back
into Microsoft Dynamics NAV. These websites have strict parameters,
and with k-eCommerce, Users can go in and create a catalog that will
automatically publish out on eBay or Amazon. NAVUG
“Being one of the first k-eCommerce Customers, we have experienced each
version of the e-commerce platform and couldn’t be happier with the way it has
evolved and stayed on top of industry trends. Our business has been able to grow
steadily online using this scalable platform without ever outgrowing it or missing
out on any of the key elements that consumers demand of an e-commerce site.”
Claude Corriveau, IT director at Novexco/BuroPLUS

At the end of every day, Stacy Weight can say something she did has impacted a child’s
life. “Not many accountants can say that about their day job!” Stacy shares. As the vice
president of fi nance at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals), Stacy
loves her job and takes immense pride in the higher purpose that she can help CMN
Hospitals achieve every day.
CMN Hospitals raises money and awareness for 170 children’s hospitals across the U.S. and Canada
through programs such as the charity’s “Miracle Balloon” icon. Funds stay in the community where they’re
raised to benefi t local kids, providing 32 million treatments each year. Having raised $5 billion since 1983
and $320 million in just the past year, CMN Hospitals has been able to make a signifi cant impact on
children’s medical research and care. Because of these funds, member hospitals have the latest equipment
and diagnostic tools that help doctors identify problems and perform surgery on the tiniest of patients,
are able to open their doors to all kids, regardless of a family’s ability to pay, and most importantly, provide
hope and healing to children of all ages battling every illness or injury imaginable.
All of this is made possible by kind hearts – and Microsoft Dynamics GP. “We use Microsoft
Dynamics GP for all our accounting,” Stacy says. “Our organization takes contributions in various
ways, and the flexibility of Microsoft Dynamics GP allows us to manage donations coming in from
