Early transition through TAP
Alex Bouwmeester,
project manager for GAC: “We were initially planning to make a transition to Dynamics
NAV 2013 R2. Because GAC is a participant in Microsoft’s Technology Adoption
Program we could offer more. Thanks to TAP we could offer Honeywell Customized
Comfort Products the opportunity to be one of the first companies in the world
to use Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016.”

Adoption Program (TAP) to select partners. Their customers are given early

Switch to Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016
Honeywell Comfort
Products wanted to upgrade software support for the company processes with higher
performance and a web based environment. The first choice was Microsoft
Dynamics NAV 2013R2. Participating in TAP allowed Honeywell Comfort Products to
get the expanded functionality of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 and allowed for a
longer term investment in new ERP software.
Extra features, performance and functionality
Ronald Daris, system
architect at Honeywell Customized Comfort Products: “Honeywell Customized
Comfort Products has used Microsoft Dynamics NAV for years. Although the
software works to our satisfaction, it was time for an update. Thanks to GAC we
made a smooth transition to the latest version. We made a fluent switch to Dynamics
NAV 2016 which has given us extra features, performance and functionality. The
new system is better adapted to our needs.”
Mobile first, cloud first
Microsoft Dynamics
NAV 2016 offers multiple advantages over previous versions. The software has
been developed from the ‘mobile first, cloud first’ principle announced by Microsoft
CEO Satya Nadella. Dynamics NAV 2016 makes it easier to offer customers and partner’s
access to files and data and has several options to implement location independent
working environments.
Innovative solutions
Dynamics NAV 2016 also
includes innovative solutions allowing its users to work with any computing
platform, from powerful workstations to simple smartphones. Smart
implementation of internet technologies and cloud based file synchronization helps
