CU3 for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015

Cumulative Update 3 for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, known as Build 39368 is published in January 21. You can find CU3 on this link, but if you try to find it on the list of all cumulative updates, you cannot find it. I don’t know why, but it still missing here. On this list, you can find only CU1 and CU2. But, if you use my first link, you can find CU3 easy.

As we used to, this cumulative update includes all hotfixes and regulatory features that have been released for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, including hotfixes and regulatory features that were released in previous cumulative updates.

We can find here a lot of platform hotfixes, but you can also find Microsoft Social Listening integration (I already wrote about it) on this list. You can also find a really lot of application hotfixes in following functional areas:

  • Cash Management
  • Finance
  • Fixed Assets
  • Inventory
  • Job
  • Manufacturing
  • Purchase
  • Sales
  • Service
  • VAT/Sales Tax/Intrastat
  • Warehouse

You can also find local application hotfixes for AU, DE, ES, FI, FR, IT, NA, NL, NO, RU and SE, as well as regulatory features for NA, NL, DACH and ES.

I expect, Microsoft will publish this formally on their blog.

Microsoft Social Listening on #NAV2015

Microsoft Social Listening offers hosted online services available to a wide variety of customers and is comprised of the following social capability components within the software application:

  • Social Media Monitoring – ability to listen to and monitor publicly available social communications across public and managed networks administered by third parties.
  • Social Analytics – ability to identify, compute, and project queries related to publicly available documents and posts.

You can find more about Microsoft Social Listening here.

But, what is with integration between Microsoft Social Listening and Microsoft Dynamics NAV? First plan was to publish this integration in next NAV version – “Corfu”, but we can find announcements, that this will be part of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 in CU3. We still expect CU3, but you can find following helps on MSDN and How Do I video:

  • MSDN has published Help about adding and setup Microsoft Social Listening with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 here,
  • Vjeko has published How Do I video about this topic in CU3 here.

Now, we will wait for new CU3 and hope it will be published :).

Mainstream Support for NAV 2009 Ends

Mainstream support for all Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 versions ends January 13th, 2015. This is the last NAV version with the classic client. Of course, NAV 2009 also has RTC client, but a lot of companies use classic client. That means, Microsoft ends with classic client support.

Upgrade

Maybe, this is the right moment to think about upgrade to the newer NAV versions. In this situation I recommend NAV 2015. With the new Microsoft Dynamics policy, we have new cumulative updates every month, and if you use them, you will stay current in the future. That means, you will not have a need for new upgrade in following years, because you will always have the newest version. This will make a less of your investment in the future and less your users adapts to new versions – a lot of benefits.
