ArcherPoint Announces First World-Wide Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Implementation

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ArcherPoint, LLC, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner specializing in Microsoft Dynamics solutions, today announced that it has completed the first implementation of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 in the world.

“Equally exciting, however, was our participation in the Microsoft Technology Adaption Program. Having the opportunity to be involved with a new product at so early a stage was an unforgettable and beneficial experience for our company.”

ArcherPoint helped Exhausto, a leading ventilation system supplier in North America and the Middle East, upgrade its Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution to take advantage of the new role-tailored user experience, Web services integration, and the introduction of the three-tier solution architecture in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009.

Both companies participated in the Technology Adaption Program (TAP), a unique program designed by Microsoft to provide an early opportunity for Partners and customers to leverage new Microsoft technologies and to provide real-world customer feedback on Microsoft pre-release products. In addition, Partners are trained directly by Microsoft and obtain deeper product knowledge, helping them implement better solutions.

Participating Partners and customers enjoy benefits such as direct access to Microsoft domain experts, early product education, and an opportunity to influence the product through their feedback.

“Being part of TAP has allowed us to work closely with the Microsoft development team prior to the final release, helping Microsoft improve the overall quality and usability of the product and helping us bring the first customer in the world live on the product,” said Tommy Madsen, partner and co-founder of ArcherPoint. “The process has been beneficial not only to Microsoft, ArcherPoint, and Exhausto, but also to the future users of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009.”

Taking advantage of the benefits of TAP, ArcherPoint implemented Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 and integrated it with Exhausto’s critical business systems. The implementation also included integrating with Microsoft Dynamics CRM and an upgraded version of the company’s proprietary FanCalc application.

Additionally, ArcherPoint worked closely with Lanham Associates to upgrade and test on Dynamics NAV 2009 the latest release of their E-Ship Product, a Certified for Microsoft Dynamics NAV add-on shipping solution, and their Advanced Forecasting & Procurement solution, both built within Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

“The enhancements in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 will make it easier for us to provide reliable remote system access to employees worldwide, enabling us to pursue growth with more confidence,” said Steen Hagensen, president of Exhausto. “Equally exciting, however, was our participation in the Microsoft Technology Adaption Program. Having the opportunity to be involved with a new product at so early a stage was an unforgettable and beneficial experience for our company.”

For Exhausto, one of the key enhancements to Microsoft Dynamics NAV is increased support for connecting critical business systems. The tight integration between the company’s proprietary FanCalc application and Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 made it possible to fully automate the conversion of bills of materials into sales orders.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 delivers value-added technical advancements and integration with other Microsoft technology, lowering the cost of ownership and providing a greater return on investment. Customers can take advantage of new Web services offerings that make data and business logic within Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 available to other applications greatly simplifying integration with external applications.
