Hi Support,
I have one small customer and they want to looking for software for business process. Can you advice me to best option for long term process. I have some confusion relate to Microsoft navision on azure, Dynamic 365, and Microsoft AX.

AX can be quite expensive for small customer.
Choose 365 if customer don't have any specific business processes because of customization is more complicated than classic NAV
NAV is a perfect choice for small and middle companies with easy customization to any requirements and flexible integration with any other systems.
If you’ve to start now, go with NAV with no doubts.
they are all erp solutions.
- dynamics nav (old name navision) can be run on premise or on azure. current release is nav 2018. it's meant for each kind of company size, mostly used in small to midsized companies. provides a windows and a webclient. can be acquired with about 3.750,-- euros, includes 3 user licenses. shipped with a couple of interesting, intergrated modules. base module is the general ledger. highly customizable. my recommandation. to get nav you need a nav partner in your region. the nav partner does the customization, implementation, consulting, training, licensing.
you could start here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/solution-providers/search
- dynamics ax is now an old product. it was used in bigger companies. costs were normally higher than for dynamics nav.
- dynamics 365 is the cloud sucessor of both products, can be used for each kind of company size. is now available in different variants: d365 for sales, for marketing, for field service, ... d365 for finance and operations is the variant with all modules (means also with production module, complete warehousing, ...). it's available only online by subscription, e.g. 75,-- euros per month. it provides only a web client. you can get a test account. you can start here: https://dynamics.microsoft.com/en-us/ or look for a dynamics partner, who provides d365.
the future of dynamics nav is not sure. i suppose it will exist in that kind till at least 2020/2021. the news from microsoft change, sometimes in this direction, sometimes in that direction. for sure dynamics 365 is for microsoft THE erp product for now and the future, is very much promoted. but in the end the market, the customers will decide. for me it seems that in the US companies are quite interested in cloud based solutions, in europe many companies (especially in the production area) are more old school, like on premise solutions, have more concerns about legal terms and security.
