NAV 2009 vs. 2013

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We just bought NAV. We are in the discovery phase. Our partner might be leaning toward us staying with version 2009 and going with 2013 later.

We are thinking it might be easier to just skip to 2013 especially since it is more web based and we have a large need for web services.

First: is 2013's release for sure by October?

Second: Is there a list of features comparing the two products?

Thanks,

    Michael,

    Thank you for posting on the Forum. NAV 2013 is expected towards end of year 2012, but no exact date has been given though October/November is the timeframe  in general for the release. As far as comparisions, there is some new feature information on PartnerSource, but much is also on MSDN.Here are some links on MSDN since you may not have PartnerSource access.

    general best information:

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh173988(v=nav.70).aspx

    Application changes:

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh173994(v=nav.70).aspx

    Developer and System changes:

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh174007(v=nav.70).aspx

    If you have PartnerSource access here is another url:

    https://mbs.microsoft.com/partnersource/training/news/msdnav7gettingready.htm?printpage=false&sid=h1ur2cxopup0r45hlx0vpjtk&stext=NAV 2013

    I hope this information helps you out. I can't give you a direct answer on what is best for you, but hopefully this information will help guide your decision. One thing to remember is that 2009R2 has full set of Web Services that work very well, though NAV 2013 will have the Web Client. Make sure you read up on the Web Client though as it will not be an equal to the full RTC, powerusers will still need the RTC. There is also a SharePoint client on NAV 2013 but again read up on it so you know the differences as compared to the full RTC (role tailored client).
