The Offimac construction software has strong historic roots

From Danmark to the world

In Denmark a local software player called Navision became a European success with Navision. This financials software package originally aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises. And it had a number of unique features. Because it was highly innovative. The package made its major international breakthrough due to the Y2K problems.

Offimac also became a seller of Navision in 1996.

Even Microsoft noticed Navision’s success. Because Navision was built on Microsoft technology. Plus, it was in a market that Microsoft was not in at the time. Navision was originally an accounting package. But new modules were added year after year, changing it into a comprehensive ERP package for SMEs. Microsoft acquired Navision in 2002 in order to immediately set foot in the world of business software. And so began the story of Microsoft Dynamics and the Offimac Business Central construction software.

Microsoft empowered the Navision solution

Navision has expanded since that period and has undergone a few name changes, too. But most importantly, the package has grown strongly since then as well. It is now the global market leader in administrative software for SMEs. Navision continues to be very innovative and progressive. After all, it’s also building in new technologies like artificial intelligence and other applications.

Today, this package is called Dynamics 365 Business Central software, although it’s still often referred to as Navision software. Because Navision simply still is a very well-known brand, even though the software itself has been completely new – technologically speaking – since 2009.

Offimac grew along with Navision as did Offimac’s Business Central construction software.

Dynamics is the name of a Microsoft division. And of products.

Dynamics 365 is Microsoft’s new business software division. This software often used to be described as ERP or CRM and was quite delineated. But because ERP and CRM were becoming increasingly interrelated, Microsoft opted for a new name, which is how Microsoft Dynamics 365 came out on top. It’s business software that creates dynamics. And links to Office 365.

CRM software is software for commercial departments and processes because CRM software is intended for sales, marketing, and services.

ERP is the abbreviation of ‘Enterprise Resource Planning’ and its purpose is to automate every department of your company and ensure that a single software system controls all of the processes in your company. Unlike CRM, ERP software covers all departments. ERP software contains numerous modules such as purchase, sales, production, and much more. But these modules exchanged information with each other precisely because they are also interconnected. Clients sometimes also found the fact that ERP software also includes CRM modules to be very confusing and often couldn’t see the forest for the trees…

So Microsoft decided it was time for a commercial renovation – time for a solution that no longer thinks in boxes. And thus, Business Central came into being.
