Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our NAV services

How long will Microsoft support NAV?

Microsoft's mainstream support for NAV versions typically ends five years after release, with extended support for an additional five years. For example, NAV 2018 mainstream support ended in January 2023, with extended support continuing until January 2028. However, even after Microsoft's official support ends, Dave Shah Solutions will continue to provide support, maintenance, and development services for your NAV system for as long as you need it. We understand that transitioning to a new system requires careful planning and timing, and we're committed to supporting your NAV system throughout its lifecycle.

Can you still develop customizations for NAV?

Yes, we continue to develop customizations for all versions of NAV. Our team has extensive experience with C/AL programming, report design, form modifications, and integration development for NAV. We can create new functionality, modify existing features, develop custom reports, and build integrations with other systems. While Microsoft has shifted development focus to Business Central, our team maintains the expertise and development tools needed to enhance and extend your NAV system to meet your evolving business requirements.

Should we upgrade to a newer version of NAV?

Whether to upgrade to a newer version of NAV depends on several factors, including your current version, business requirements, and long-term plans. Upgrading to a newer NAV version can provide benefits such as improved functionality, better performance, and extended Microsoft support. However, it also requires investment in the upgrade process and potential modifications to customizations. We can conduct a thorough assessment of your current system and business needs to provide a recommendation on whether upgrading to a newer NAV version or transitioning to Business Central would be more beneficial. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision that aligns with your business objectives and budget.

How do you handle emergency support issues?

For emergency support issues that significantly impact your business operations, we provide priority response and resolution. Our Standard and Premium support plans include defined response times for critical issues, with Premium offering 24/7 support for emergencies. When you report an emergency issue, our support team will immediately assess the situation, provide an initial response, and begin working on a resolution. We use remote access tools to quickly diagnose and address the issue, keeping you informed throughout the process. For businesses with critical NAV systems, we recommend our Premium support plan, which includes proactive monitoring to identify and address potential issues before they become emergencies.

Can you help with NAV performance issues?

Yes, we specialize in diagnosing and resolving NAV performance issues. Our performance optimization services include database tuning, SQL query optimization, server configuration, network analysis, and code optimization. We begin with a comprehensive performance assessment to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in your system. Based on this assessment, we develop and implement a performance improvement plan tailored to your specific environment. Our optimization techniques can significantly improve system response times, reduce processing delays, and enhance overall user experience.
