Just a quick note on when to expect the next Dynamics NAV promotion from Microsoft.
There are 2 main periods during the year where Microsoft will MOST LIKELY release promotions and discounts for Dynamics NAV (or AX and other Dynamics product line). They are:
Microsoft Fiscal Year End
Microsoft’s fiscal year ends on June 30th. They want to drive their numbers up so they can report a strong fiscal year. So look for new discounts and promotions about 2 to 2.5 months prior to June. So look for discounts starting in late March or April.
Calendar Year End
December 31st is another period where Microsoft will have a lot of promotions and discounts. The calendar year end discounts will be released about 2 to 2.5 months prior as well. So look for discounts starting late September or October.
Conclusion
To get the most bang for your buck, I would hold off on purchasing until these promotions appear. Even though there are promotions from Microsoft, there may be certain terms and conditions which will exclude you from taking advantage of the promotion. So even if you waited, you may still be excluded.
Having said that, businesses can’t wait. If you need a module or new user sessions right now; get it. Promotions are nice, but if it hurts your business because other people can’t log in to do their job it won’t make much sense to wait.
