On 11 July 2002 Microsoft bought Navision A/S to go with its previous acquisition of Great Plains . The new division in Microsoft was named Microsoft Business Solutions and also included Microsoft CRM .

In September , 2005 Microsoft rebranded the product and released it as Microsoft Dynamics NAV 4.0

The product itself has gone through several name changes as the original Navision company or Microsoft has tried to decide on how it should be marketed. This means that the names "Navision Financials", "Navision Attain", "Microsoft Business Solutions Navision Edition", and the current (2007) "Microsoft Dynamics NAV" all refer to essentially the same product.
