My company is using NAV 2013 R2 (with a waste sector specific software bolt on application) and we would like to create a new portal. Our Microsoft partner, who also owns and provides the software application, presented a simple portal and said that we could have it for a licence fee and implementation costs. However, they also stated that we had to have a specific portal object in NAV that was not included in our licence and would have to be purchased from Microsoft. We do have available objects however not a specific portal object. I am somewhat dubious about this specific portal object as these guys have been a little "smoke and mirrors" previously. I would expect that any 3rd party developer could create a portal using data extracted from NAV in the same way that Jet Reports or Power BI can use the data. There may not be the availability to enter data into the system directly from the portal but simple access to information should be possible?
Can anyone advise me if a specific portal object is required and also if a 3rd party can develop a portal from NAV?
Many thanks,
Rob
