DiCentral and ABS Partner to Bring Seamless EDI Solutions to Microsoft Dynamics NAV Users

Alliance Unveiled at Microsoft Dynamics Convergence 2010

ATLANTA  April 26, 2010  DiCentral, the leading innovator in the supply chain communication industry and Advanced Business Systems (ABS), a world-class integrator of software solutions, today announced at Microsoft Dynamics Convergence 2010 that they will offer a fully-integrated EDI system for suppliers and distributors using Microsoft Dynamics NAV, formerly Navision. The partnership will enable all Dynamics NAV users to easily and seamlessly integrate a world-class EDI and communications platform into its ERP system. DiCentral will showcase its alliance with ABS at Convergence 2010, April 26-27 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta at conference booth #1223. 

Traditionally, integrating EDI functionality in Dynamics NAV has been cost prohibitive, lengthy and complex. However, the DiCentral/ABS partnership enables suppliers to almost instantly add distribution and supply chain functionality to Dynamics NAV. Building upon new functionality found in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Service Pack 1, the DiCentral/ABS EDI solution provides customized client interfaces to meet every company need. Additionally, the solution utilizes Microsoft web services and cloud computing technology to ensure application availability and efficient use of resources.  

Dynamics NAV users finally have an EDI solution that can work with the way they do business, said Eric Braswell, senior director of global channels, DiCentral. ?We sought a partnership with ABS, one of the best ERP experts available, to simplify supply chain communications, improve performance and ultimately save money for Dynamics NAV users. 

Adoption of EDI by many companies has been slow in the past because of the complex and expensive process of mapping channels between trading partners. The DiCentral/ABS solution takes on the responsibility for mapping user connections and keeping them current when trading partners make changes. This saves an extraordinary amount of time and allows for new customers to become EDI compliant quickly and easily.  And both DiCentral and ABS are committed to consistently supporting updates to Dynamics NAV to ensure easy upgrades for users.

Through our partnership with DiCentral, EDI in a day really is possible now for Dynamics NAV users, said Thom Doss, ABS. We make it easy to get up and running and take the complexity out of the EDI process while fully leveraging all the capabilities that Dynamics NAV brings to its users.

EDI solutions for Dynamics NAV start at $8,000.
