Another thing I note about the grid is that it goes into a lot of detail about the “Distribution” area (inventory, etc.), but only one line about “projects”… as we get to be more and more of a service-oriented economy rather than manufacturing and distribution, the detail lines of things like Project budgeting, quotes, contract management, “service plan” tracking and invoicing, etc., become more important to an increasing number of clients.
I think this is one of the main reasons that Microsoft has committed to keeping the 4 products separate for a while (besides user-interface preferences of different companies).

Great article. One thing missing from the list is Microsoft Dynamics CRM. While not an ERP, it does belong to the “Dynamics” family. That story could be a blog post on its own.

Also the name “Dynamics” is interesting because it was the original name of Great Plain’s original ERP product that evolved from Great Plains accounting. Its quite obvious who was in charge when that name was picked!

Considering the very robust and thriving community surrounding Dynamics GP in the USA I would expect it to find itself among the surviving products.

Houston,

Great article – thumbs up from here

As already mentioned by Mike – NAV has Portal function in shape of SharePoint.

NAV is not 100% .NET but with the NAV 2009 SP1 and especially with the next versions it is getting closer and closer to it

You mentioned that NAV is strong as a single-site, which is correct – but I must say that NAV also does perform well in multi-sited implementations. On strong side is that each site can run with localized installations. Which means, that for example a Site in USA can have an English language layer where as a Site in Denmark can have a Danish layer – and they will still be able to “talk” with each other without any problems.
