Dynamics NAV Extensions will make NAV upgrades much easier

Dynamics NAV solutions can be customized by partners, value-added resellers (VARs), and even some customers. This is an important benefit of the product and the service continues to be available. However, it has traditionally been carried out by overlayering the application code. The move to the cloud with more agile servicing and frequent updates requires a less intrusive customization model that makes updates less likely to impact custom solutions. This new model is called Dynamics NAV Extensions and will probably replace customization.

Dynamics NAV Extensions are a way for Microsoft Dynamics NAV developers and ISVs to extend the functionality of NAV without modifying Microsoft’s original source code. With the new model, when you come to upgrade Dynamics NAV with a cumulative update, you no longer need to merge all the customized objects. That means less upgrade issues.

With NAV Extensions, you can add functionality without changing the standard solution from Microsoft. This has the obvious advantage that major NAV upgrade projects are no longer necessary. Once you are using Extensions, the customizations no longer represent a problem when upgrading to the latest version of the solution.

If you want to prepare for this new model, you should start to work with Dynamics NAV Extensions today.
