Foundation Pack R2 is released
By · CommentsEffective 1/12/11 Cost Control’s Foundation Pack is released. This is less than 30 days from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV R2 release.
In an effort to continue to provide end-users of NAV the very best “Starter Database” on the market, we have added the following new features:
1. Small Business Role Center with new Alerts Section
2. Improved Security Setup
3. Kitting Enhancements
4. “Template Company” for an instant new company launch
5. Improved Over/Under Shipping options
6. Simple Bill of Lading on Posted Shipmnet Documents
This puts Foundation Pack at 58 Database Enhancments. What a great way to start every new customer. All development is now being done in the Role Tailord Client. There will be no Form Stretches or Changes to the Classic Client. This prepares us for the removal of Forms when Version 7.0 is released in 2012.
To help you better understand what the 58 Embedded Features are, I have created a large document that shows every single feature. Before you invest $1,700 in Foundation Pack, I want you to know what is included and why the Value is twice what we charge for Foundation Pack. You can get a copy by just leaving a comment below.
All of us at Cost Control Software apreciate the support of the NAV Channel Partners and the End-User Community. As we complete our R2 releases of “Job Manager”, “Manufacturing Plus”, and “Reports Pack” I will announce their availabity here. Thank you, Rick Baxter

Why Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009?
By · CommentsI am often asked why should I purchase Microsoft Dynamics NAV. There is NO elevator answer to this question, there is only a proper listing of the key reasons. But, the first requirement is that the software must “Do what the customer wants”. Sometime it is ”can the software be made to do what the customer wants”.
Spend time with the prospect/customer to document the key requirements, then do a Fit-Gap analysis to calculate the percentage if fit. NAV is usually a 80% fit right out of the box. The consultants bring in the right Add-on product to complete the last 20%. Hint: Cost Control Software has over 24 Add-on Products for NAV to help obtain that last 20%.

Page Designer Training on DVD
By · CommentsCost Control Software is pleased to announce the release of our next Training Class for NAV. “Page Designer”. (Only $395)
Most end users know how to use the “Personalization” tools on the menu. (IE: Edit a FactBox). But a personalization only applies to that user, not to the entire company. You need to use the “Page Designer” to make a change “GLOBAL”.
This new class takes you step by step with video instructions on each step. Seeing how to do it in action is critical to your learning. And you can pause, backup, replay, any of the learning segments. We recommend you do each step right along with the instructor (Rick Baxter). The student “Study Guide” is the outline to the video content. When you see the steps shown to you on screen, the content sinks in. You just can’t get this from a book. This class is like having the instructor right beside you as you watch each learning video.
Topics: Building List Pages, Building Card Pages, Link the Card from the List, Deploy your application to Departments and Role Center Menues, How to add FactBoxes, How to build the Action Ribbon with Related Information and Reports. Final topic is a complete build of a Role Center from Scratch.
Seeing how to do it is much more powerful than reading how to do it. Order this training class today.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 Announcement
By · CommentsToday, Microsoft is announcing the upcoming release of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 scheduled for Q4 of CY2010.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 is a major and significant release for Microsoft Dynamics NAV and will deliver on our software-plus-services vision and include integration to Microsoft Dynamics CRM and online payment service – both originally planned for Microsoft Dynamics NAV “7”. Because of the immense investment in new architecture for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, we are able to provide even more benefits for you and your customers by bringing a new feature set to market quicker than scheduled.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 in Brief
The features in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 include:
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Integration. Integration to Microsoft Dynamics CRM on-premise as well as Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. The integration will support Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and upcoming Microsoft Dynamics CRM 5.0.
- Online Payment Service for Microsoft Dynamics NAV. This enables customers to process payment transactions from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV interface across multiple channels, including e-commerce, point of sale and call center transactions. The Payment Service works with leading payment processing services and all major credit cards. Payment services are subject to local availability.
- RoleTailored Client Access for Remote and Roaming Users. Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 supports direct access from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV RoleTailored client over the Internet. This allows for remote or roaming users to take advantage of the richness of the RoleTailored interface and the many integration features connected to local resources, such as the operating system and Microsoft Office. This reduces the complexity and overhead compared with using other applications such as Citrix Systems and Terminal Services, enhancing the quality of experience, especially for hosting partners offering cloud-based Microsoft Dynamics NAV deployments.
- Microsoft Application Virtualization support. The Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 RoleTailored interface can be deployed using Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) technology. This provides a better experience for the end user as all integration with local applications is done on the desktop. It also cuts IT costs by centrally managing Microsoft Dynamics NAV client installations with automatic deployment to the desktop after an update.
- Windows 7 User Experience Improvements. Through Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2, jump lists can be used to open recently accessed customers and vendors for increased business productivity and efficiency, and the icon overlay functionality provides information on system events and status streamlined with the Windows 7 user experience.
- Treemap visualization. Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 showcases the possibilities around business data visualizations abilities in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 or later versions through rich ad hoc data visualization. It provides treemap analysis that enables the comparison of any two values, for example sales and profits, as well as manufacturing visualization, which increases business productivity and business insight.
