"ABC Computers could not be easier to work with.
They are extremely knowledgeable and professional.

Greetings!
Happy holidays!
As 2012 comes to a close and I look forward to the New Year, I can't help but get excited about the great things our customers will be able to achieve in 2013 with the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV financial management and ERP software. Hands down, 2013 (version 7) is the best release of Dynamics NAV in more than 10 years.
In the past, we would sometimes advise clients to wait awhile before upgrading to a new version of software, but I can't wait to help them leverage all the new functionality NAV 2013 has to offer.
If you haven't taken a look at NAV 2013 yet, I invite you to see a functional preview in our webinar on December 19th. Register here for the login instructions.
Sincerely,
 
Donavan Lane, CEO
ABC Computers, Inc. |
