I need a very fast system. What functionalities improve speed in Navision Financials?
Navision Financials is a Client/Server product. This means that only the “results” are transmitted between the workstation/client and the server/database. This provides two direct benefits to the end-user network – (1) The amount of time necessary for processing at the workstation is drastically reduced since only the requested data is passed to the workstation; and (2) The amount of network traffic is therefore also reduced providing for an inherent increase in either availability and/or bandwidth. Navision Financials also provides multiple “caching” options. This allows both the server and the client to cache ( keep in memory ) copies of certain data/objects. This is very important over slower data circuits like T1 lines. When a user logs in and reads the main menu object, the “remote/client” will maintain in memory a copy of that main menu so the client will not have to re-read that data again. This also reduces the entire flow of data traffic thus improving network speed.
