Integrate multi-site and international organizations with Microsoft Dynamics NAV

With a Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution for multi-site and international organizations (MIOs), your business can benefit in seven key ways:

1. Meets the individual needs of sites, regardless of their size, location, or type of business

Microsoft Dynamics NAV adapts to the specific business needs of each site and uses a system that reflects local legal requirements and business practices.

2. Improves workflow efficiency for financial consolidation

Export financial reports across software and technologies, including the Internet. As a result, parent companies can consolidate financial statements for a series of sites from a single database, other Microsoft Dynamics NAV databases, or other programs. Consolidate financial statements in different currencies using the exchange-rate functionality.

3. Gives you clear business insight with integrated analytics

Reduce the need for extensive IT support at individual sites by quickly generating reports based on relevant parameters and create online analytical processing (OLAP) cubes based on the data in your system. Easily access reports at headquarters using familiar Microsoft tools such as Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft Office Excel.

4. Offers an efficient means of exchanging data

Create XML documents, which can be exchanged between the parent company's system and sites that use Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Or implement an electronic data exchange solution based on BizTalk Server and Commerce Gateway in Microsoft Dynamics NAV with XMLports for greater or more complex needs.

5. Can reduce costs by helping you share responsibility for services

Map between the different systems of the parent company and the sites, taking into account any variation in currencies. Create sales, purchasing, and accounting documentation for the entire workflow, if both the sites and parent company use Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

6. Promotes a more efficient supply chain

Treat interdivisional transactions as normal sales and purchase transactions and eliminate the need for duplicate data entries. Avoid the cost of sending, receiving, and printing documents.

7. Helps you respond proactively to business conditions

Automatically generate e-mail messages to inform you of critical business conditions at your sites or supply chain partners. Use templates to communicate important information regarding purchasing or inventory status.
