Advanced Technology for E-Integrated Enterprises

To make a successful transformation to e-business, enter-

prises need an agile technology platform. With versatile tech-

nologies like MorphX™ Development Suite, Navision Axapta®

provides a range of unique tools to leverage the power of e-

business and cost effectively adapt to changing business con-

ditions.

Navision Axapta is ideally suited for enterprises looking to

automate core business processes in their ERP systems.

Navision Axapta technology allows businesses to extend their

processes to customers, partners, suppliers, and employees.

Not all ERP technology platforms are the same. Selecting

the wrong platform can lead to cost overruns and missed busi-

ness opportunities. With Navision Axapta, the underlying tech-

nology is what saves you money in three key ways.

Flexibility

Navision Axapta was designed with a three-tier architec-

ture. This architecture includes a number of advanced tech-

niques that cleanly separate the business logic from the pres-

entation interface and the application data. As a result, the

business logic can be accessed using the interface of your

choice – browser, application client, machine-to-machine, or

mobile device.

“E” Enabled

Navision Axapta includes everything you need for e-busi-

ness. The system's web application toolbox lets you quickly

build applications that reuse Navision Axapta’s core function-

ality and data. In addition, the system supports essential e-

business technologies like XML, WAP, and the Application

Service Provider (ASP) model.

Adaptability

The fundamental design philosophy for Navision Axapta is

what we call the power of one – one set of business logic, one

database, one toolset, and one source code. Whether appli-

cation customizations are made at the subsidiary level,

department level, or with individual users, Navision Axapta

puts the ability to adapt in your hands. This simplicity makes it

easy and less costly to customize and upgrade Navision

Axapta applications.

The Design PhilosophyThis brochure describes the technical capabilities ofNavision Axapta®. The system's innovative “power of one” design philosophy enables enterprisesto manage change in a controlled manner while unlocking the benefits of e-business.

15

To be truly successful in business, you must first build effi-

cient internal processes and then extend those processes to

customers, partners and suppliers. With its design principal of

"one set of business logic, one database, one source code,

and one toolset," Navision Axapta is uniquely positioned to

automate both internal and external processes. At Navision,

we think of this as "the power of one."

The Need to Reuse Resources

When it comes to selecting an e-business platform, one of

the first decisions is to choose either an add-on e-business

application or a single system that combines internal process-

es with e-business processes. Selecting an add-on application

presents a number of disadvantages. These include extra

maintenance, redundant data, redundant business logic, the

need for more than one development toolset, and database

synchronization issues.

The Power of One

Navision Axapta enables companies to build powerful

e-business applications simply and cost-effectively. Navision

Axapta’s three-tier architecture cleanly separates the busi-

ness logic from the presentation layer. This lets you maintain

one set of business logic for everyone – customers via the

web, suppliers via extranet services, employees via WAP

technology, and e-commerce marketplaces using XML.

Key Benefits

Important benefits provided by Navision Axapta's

"power of one" approach include:

• Lower development and maintenance costs

• No redundant data

• No redundant business logic

• Greater responsiveness to change

• Easy-to-upgrade applications

• Ability to use emerging technologies like WAP and XML

We recognize that enterprises look to implement e-busi-

ness technologies as a way to optimize costs and build

stronger relationships with their customers, partners and sup-

pliers. Navision is the ideal partner for enterprises seeking to

leverage the Internet, web applications, mobile technology,

and new industry initiatives.

A Vision that Starts with Our Customers

At Navision, we have created a vision of the future that

starts with our customers. When it comes to emerging tech-

nologies, Navision is deeply committed to putting our customers

first. As our customers increasingly adopt collaborative prac-

tices, we believe the ability to combine ERP, e-business, CRM

and supply chain management in the Navision Axapta core sys-

tem provides a powerful competitive advantage not attainable

elsewhere.

Whether it's new technologies like XML and WAP, the

Application Services Provider model or the Microsoft.net ini-

tiative, you can expect that Navision will be there.

Extensive Expertise

Navision Axapta is proof of our expertise. No existing devel-

opment language supported the technological concept we

sought to create, so we created a new development suite based

on our own object-oriented programming language: X++.

X++ combines the best of many programming languages:

Java, C++ and SQL syntax. X++ gives Navision Axapta a

manageable amount of code and straightforward development

tools, making it remarkably easy to adapt, upgrade, and main-

tain customized processes. One of our primary design goals

with Navision Axapta was ease of use for all types of users.

• IT managers are attracted to the openness of the system

and its ability to support changes in company processes.

Navision Axapta automates time-consuming routines and

provides legacy systems with a uniform user interface.

• Programmers appreciate Navision Axapta's unique,

object-oriented development enviroment.

• Managers, executives, and other employees value the

adaptability and user-friendly interface.

The Power to Manage Change

With innovative technologies like AOS, Navision Axapta

delivers a range of advantages that you won't find elsewhere.

Above all, Navision Axapta puts the power to manage change

in the hands of ERP and e-business architects. As the e-busi-

ness era matures, this is a crucial advantage that will help you

take your business in the direction you want to go.

Prepare for the Future

Instead of struggling with technology, users can focus on their jobs.

5

Navision offers you more than just technology. An equally

important part of our objective is helping you to work smarter.

Working smarter comes from:

• being able to perform a task without being

distracted by other matters

• the feeling that your tools make you better at what you are

already good at, no matter what your role in the enterprise

Our aim is to help people perform their work quickly, easily,

and in a goal-directed manner. As a result, we placed technolo-

gy where it should be: out of sight and out of mind. As e-busi-

ness becomes more widespread and enterprises increasingly

use the Internet to conduct business, it becomes even more

important for technology to be both transparent and reliable.

• Navision Axapta’s graphical user interface ensures an easy

transition for those users already familiar with a Microsoft

Windows standard navigational environment.

• Navision Axapta Feature Key functionality allows users to

personalize their working environments. Users can tailor

their screens, resulting in increased productivity.

• Navision Axapta is designed specifically for international,

multi-site corporations and supports multiple languages.

For instance, a Dutch comptroller can go to Spain and

change his display of the local system to Dutch with

just a click of the mouse.

Work Smarter

“Right off the shelf, Navision Axapta offers

what we need in order processing and track-

ing, multi-currencies and languages. For those

things that do need customization in the

future, Navision Axapta is easy to adapt with

its leading-edge technology.”

Alan Baldwin, Chief of European Operations, HA-LO, Belgium

Managers and employees enjoy easy, fast access to vital information to enhance decision-making.

12

Navision Axapta provides an ideal environment for compa-

nies looking to leverage information technology as a competi-

tive advantage. Not only can these companies move quickly

using the extensive ready-to-run functionality delivered with

Navision Axapta, but they can also integrate different business

systems to meet overall enterprise objectives. Navision Axapta

makes this integration easy in three main ways.

First, the system provides wide-ranging support for

Microsoft's COM standards using the Business Connector.

This means that any COM-compliant application can readily

communicate and transact with Navision Axapta. Second,

MorphX Development Suite, including the web application

framework, provides a number of tools that simplify integra-

tion. And third, Navision Axapta supports integration for

emerging e-business technologies such as WAP and XML.

The COM Standard

With Navision Axapta as part of your IT infrastructure, you

can cost–effectively integrate a vast selection of Microsoft-

compliant applications. Links established between Navision

Axapta and COM-compliant applications are transparent to

users. This functionality can seamlessly combine Microsoft®

Word®, Microsoft® Outlook®, Microsoft® Excel®, and other

Microsoft applications with Navision Axapta.

Take Advantage of the Internet

The Business Connector is a vital tool for web applications

built to use information from Navision Axapta. This is true for

web applications built with Navision Axapta's own framework,

as well as for any other web-based application that communi-

cates and transacts with Navision Axapta. The Business

Connector provides the perfect synergy between your back-

office ERP solution and your front-office web applications.

XML Integration

XML is a vital business collaboration standard. Using the

XML interface, Navision Axapta applications may read and

write XML documents and communicate with other XML-

aware programs. This technology enables you to set up direct

connections to your trading partners or participate in B2B trad-

ing exchanges on the web.

Integrate Everything

“Our challenge was to overcome our diverse infor-

mation systems. We had grown so rapidly that our

systems were not interconnected. We had separate

systems at the central office to manage purchas-

ing, production, and sales order entry.”

Lou Zuiker, Manager of Research and Development, Northern Micro, Canada

13

When it comes to web applications that span your enter-

prise, Navision Axapta delivers a key advantage: all web appli-

cations are built on the same business logic that drives your

client-based applications. What's more, Navision Axapta pro-

vides a comprehensive framework for rapidly building, deploy-

ing and maintaining web applications. The web framework

includes a number of ready-to-run web applications, such as

Customer Self-Service, plus all the tools you need for building

and customizing web applications.

The web tools, part of the MorphX Development Suite,

include a visual HTML editor and cascading style sheet editor

as well as a range of pre-built web forms, web menus, and

web reports. Also included are a website wizard and a web

application wizard that give you total control of layout and

business logic.

The Navision Axapta web framework is designed to be

as customizable and expandable as possible so that you

can easily develop the solutions that best meet your busi-

ness requirements.

Build Web Applications Easily

Building web applications is simple thanks to the Navision

Axapta Web Application Wizard. This wizard was designed to

help both experienced web programmers and non-technical

personnel. The structured approach of the wizard, combined

with other resources such as web forms, assures consistent

design and reliable functionality in your web applications. The

Web Application Wizard enables you to quickly build a wide

variety of applications that leverage the data and business logic

in Navision Axapta.

Leverage Web Tools

Navision Axapta web tools let you rapidly design, build and maintain web applications.

“The whole process was to prepare us for

e-business. We want our customers to

know where an order is at every step.

Now we have a screen that shows exactly

where an order is in the process.”

Amir Bagherlee, Vice President of Operations,Louis Poulsen & Co., USA

Using the web application wizard, a new web

application that uses core Navision Axapta

functionality can be built in minutes.

6

Navision is fully committed to supporting Microsoft prod-

ucts, standards, and initiatives. As proof of our commitment,

Navision is consistently among the first vendors to support

new Microsoft products as they become available. One exam-

ple of this is Navision's early certification for Microsoft®

Windows® 2000.

Our certification to use the "Designed for Microsoft" logos

is your guarantee that Navision Axapta functionality and

appearance is compatible with Microsoft products. These logos

certify that Navision Axapta has been stringently tested to

ensure total compliance to Microsoft products and technology.

Low Cost of Ownership

Applications that bear the "Designed for Microsoft" logos

typically boost employee productivity. These applications min-

imize the need for help desk support simply because they use

conventions commonly found in Microsoft products. Navision

Axapta is easy to use for those who are already accustomed

to Microsoft software applications.

More Reliable and Manageable

Microsoft certification translates into greater reliability and

manageability of Navision Axapta applications. Applications

coexist more readily, and robust, self-repairing installations

minimize conflicts among shared system components.

Supports Advanced Technologies

Navision Axapta supports a number of advanced Microsoft

technologies available in Microsoft Windows 2000. These

include OnNow™ technology for intelligent power manage-

ment, self-repairing technology for smoother installations, and

component sharing technology for better application reliability.

Leverage the Microsoft Platform

“It took just 8 hours in total - to unpack,

build and install the hardware along with the

installation of Windows NT, Microsoft

SQL Server and Navision Axapta.”

Wolfgang Puttinger,Administration and IT Manager, Lederbauer, Austria

Navision’s commitment to Microsoft products,

standards and initiatives results in faster accli-

mation to the software, reduced training needs,

and reduced maintenance costs.

7

Many companies gain a competitive advantage by adopt-

ing new technologies as they become available. But the cost to

do so can be prohibitive. Thanks to Navision Axapta's version

layer technology, it is hassle free and cost-effective to migrate

to new versions of the base technology.

Version Layer Technology

Navision Axapta’s version layer technology lets you moni-

tor and maintain modifications to the system. Customizations

made by a Navision Solution Center (NSC) and by you are

maintained in upper layers, separate from the original standard

application code. Functionality specified in upper layers takes

precedence over that in lower layers. You have full control over

modifications, and, if necessary, you can roll back to the stan-

dard application at any time.

In addition, maintenance enhancements can be applied to

any layer. By maintaining changes in independent layers,

Navision Axapta retains each customization in its original form.

Those who benefit from customization also benefit from

Navision Axapta’s maximum flexibility and security.

Automated Upgrades

When Navision Axapta upgrades are released, you will

receive a new version of the product. Upgrades are easy and

automatic – just run the installation program and the files will

be copied to the correct locations. To simplify the upgrade

process, you can choose to use a wizard to guide you step-by-

step through all the procedures. Then you can run the includ-

ed compare tool.

Upgrade Support Tools

Navision Axapta upgrade CDs include comparison and

upgrade project tools that allow you to select the customized

processes that you want to retain in the new version of the soft-

ware. You can compare objects within the standard application

layer (SYS) and the other layers to see what has been altered

and if the alteration affects a customization you have made.

Typically, you will have to approve only the changes made to

the SYS layer and merge them with your customizations. This

tool makes it easy to decide which functions and changes you

need to retain in the upgraded version.

Upgrade with Ease

Navision Axapta Version Layer Technology

BUSINESS: Vertical solutions made by business partners

SYSTEM: Standard Application

SOLUTION: Reserved for future expansion

DISTRIBUTOR: Distributor-specific modifications

LOCAL: Country-specific modifications

PARTNER: Business partner-specific solutions for individual customers

CUSTOMER: Customer's own modifications for the entire enterprise

USER: Site-specific modifications for one site

The kernel is the base application.

With version-layer technology, changes made by your company, business partners and Navision aremaintained separately. This enables you to cost-effi-ciently reuse functionality and ensures that none ofyour changes are lost during upgrades. Layer technol-ogy also reduces maintenance and provides invest-ment protection.

Version layer technology lets you monitor what

has been changed, where it was changed, and

from where the changes originated. Customized

processes are preserved during upgrades.

10

Navision Axapta is designed to grow and expand with your

business. The system’s advanced architecture is designed to

scale horizontally and vertically in a multitude of different con-

figurations. Navision Axapta supports both two-tier and three-

tier client/server application environments, and, with Axapta

Object Server (AOS), you can deploy the system in a distrib-

uted networking environment. This means maximum value for

your IT investment.

Scalability via Distributed Applications

AOS is specifically designed to leverage the benefits of

Navision Axapta in distributed networking environments. As a

result, AOS lets you optimize a Navision Axapta system for the

best possible performance, bandwidth utilization, security, and

cost-of-ownership.

What's more, with Navision Axapta, you do not need mid-

dleware. This translates into a simpler, easier-to-maintain sys-

tem configuration. The bandwidth requirement for communi-

cation between an AOS and clients is modest. These benefits

translate into lower operational costs for you.

Your Choice of SQL Databases

Navision Axapta uses Structured Query Language (SQL)

syntax. This gives you a choice of SQL database manage-

ment from the leaders in the industry - Microsoft SQL Server

and Oracle. Navision Axapta complies fully with both of these

system standards in order to ensure direct access and top

performance. This enables you to employ a large number of

standard maintenance and backup tools.

Scale as You Grow

One Set of Business LogicEnsures Easy Scalability

For scalability, multiple AOSs can be added to thesystem without the need for segmented or redundantbusiness logic. The result? Maximum scalability whilemaintaining only one set of business logic.

The ability to quickly adapt to change should be in the

hands of those who use and manage the system. To make this

a reality, Navision Axapta provides four unique ways to adapt

to business requirements and individual preferences.

Manage Functionality Using Feature Keys

Feature Keys is a capability that lets system managers

enable and disable functionality in Navision Axapta. Using

Feature Keys, an administrator can give different users and

groups access to application areas and features by showing

or hiding data fields.

Feature Keys can be used for simple, on-the-fly changes as

well as for more sophisticated, cross-departmental changes.

Feature Keys puts the power to adapt Navision Axapta directly

in the hands of individual managers and system administrators.

Work Faster with IntelliMorph

IntelliMorph technology makes it easy to modify forms and

reports in Navision Axapta. IntelliMorph allows users to hide

and show fields on a form. Better yet, IntelliMorph takes care

of reformatting the forms, too. Users can safely and swiftly

rearrange fields to best suit individual work preferences.

First, the Navision Axapta standard solution ismerged with customer's special needs, satisfying core requirements.

Next, features not used are concealed.

Then, the system is adapted to meet customer-specific needs.

The customized solution is now ready. Functionalityfor individual users can be tailored at any time.

Using Feature Keys, even complex functionality can be enabled or disabled with a single mouse click.

Customized interfaces are only a mouse click away.

8

IntelliMorph also makes it possible to quickly build and

redesign screens, forms and reports, including web-based

forms. Field labels can be modified without disturbing field

data or underlying business logic. For example, you can

switch languages on an invoice form and IntelliMorph auto-

matically resizes the field labels to fit the words. These are just

a few of the timesaving advantages made possible by

IntelliMorph.

Leverage Functionality with MorphX

When extensive changes to functionality are required, use

the MorphX Development Suite, a multi-purpose toolbox avail-

able in Navision Axapta. MorphX Development Suite is a visu-

al environment that uses drag-n-drop technology, enabling

system administrators and programmers to modify functional-

ity in Navision Axapta without manipulating the underlying

business logic. Using MorphX, the entire Navision Axapta

application is accessible in an expandable "tree" structure.

Specific items can be quickly located, and it's easy to reuse

existing pieces of functionality.

The MorphX Development Suite greatly speeds up the

customizations made to Navision Axapta. It includes the

IntelliSense help function for quick access to online guidance.

Using MorphX, even complex requirements can be met in just

minutes or hours.

Create New Business Logic with X++™

Meet complex requirements for new business logic using

the Navision Axapta object-oriented language, X++. The X++

programming language serves many purposes. It is a data-

base language, a scripting language, a language for building

reports, and a language for building user-interface forms for

both traditional clients and web applications. X++ even

includes a help-system language. Few, if any, other ERP sys-

tems provide such a versatile tool.

Navision Axapta X++ radically reduces the amount of

code necessary to deliver rich functionality. Less code means

less risk of error and faster performance. And, object-oriented

programming increases the ease and speed of any develop-

ment task.

“Now that we have the development environment

included with Navision Axapta, even I, with no

programming background, can easily add on

a new product variation.”

Jacob Torén, Chief of Finance, Colorcraft, Sweden

Rapidly accommodate any new requirements.
