Navision, NAV for short, was originally developed by a Danish company, Navision Software A/S. In 2002 Microsoft took over the Danish manufacturer Navision Software A/S. The integration of Navision into the Microsoft Business Solutions division resulted in the ERP solution Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

The business software was designed for medium-sized companies and is characterized by performance, transparency, flexibility and ease of use.
