2. What is your primary focus/specialty, and why? Nav is what you use. Nav is what we do.  You can focus on growing your business instead of the details of optimizing and supporting NAV.

Our product expertise and dedication to helping clients achieve truly remarkable results has led to 5 Microsoft Dynamics Customer Excellence Awards (formerly known as Pinnacle Awards). The awards recognize Microsoft customers that are achieving outstanding success with their Dynamics ERP or CRM software.  There are more than 350,000 Microsoft Dynamics customers worldwide, and these Innovia clients were selected among hundreds of nominations to be recognized:

8. Tell us something interesting about your company that makes you different?

There’s a reason we’ve been in busi­ness for 30+ years. When you partner with Innovia Consulting, you won’t be exposed to flashy, arrogant consultants who only “speak geek.” What you will find is a time-tested approach that reflects our solid values, a sense of teamwork and the ultimate respect for your budget and deadline. Here are just a few of the ways we are different:

• Open Door: We engage in ethical, transparent business practices at every level of the company.
• Open Communication: We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our customers and partners to reach common goals.
• Open Minds: We manage by inspiration, not fear; and by sharing information, not guarding it.

We are committed to doing whatever is necessary, period.

• At Innovia, we are guided by enduring values that stretch back to our roots – values that reflect basic, fundamental ideals about who we are. We believe:
• There is no substitute for personal and professional integrity
• Doing well and doing good can go hand in hand
• Trust and respect have always been the cornerstones of our success.

9. Provide a quote about why you chose to work with Centage. Innovia has been in the Dynamics NAV partner community for over 20 years. We have encountered many different ISV/apps that work with NAV. Centage brought many of the strengths that our customers already like in their core NAV solution. It is easy to implement, easy to learn, and provides flexibility to empower our customers to better manage their budgeting process.
