Using ITIS Activigence with Sharepoint

SPost29

Hi,
Has anyone had experience good or bad using Activigence and sharepoint as a web portal with Nav 5.01 SQL?
I was wondering about setup, configuration, actual use, user experience?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,

I have implemented ITIS Activigence for one of our client in NAV 5.0SP1, and my experience was really good. They have very good support and the Add-on was easy to configure and the communication between NAV and Sharepoint was very fast. We just implemented as an Intranet Site, we didn't expose to outside world.

Thanks
MC

We were thinking about implementing with them, but our partner said their support and documentation was not very good.

I believe they developed the original employee / commerce portals for Navision and then went off on their own, but I could be mistaken about that.

your partner is probably right. Their support is horrible!!

If you need to use NAV 5, then look at Employee Portal and Sharepoint. It works well, and you can extend it.
You just have to learn its quirks. Plus you need to know a little Sharepoint.
You cannot post in it, so adding a job queue and another NAS, you can write code to automatically post sales invoice and purchase invoices for example.

If you have the .net skills and can use 2009 SP1 or R2, then you can write your own forms and use the application tier instead, and get much more flexibility.
