Controller Names Navision Financials 'Best-of-Class' Winner.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 17, 1997--Navision Financials has been named to two "Best-Of Class" categories by Controller Magazine. The September issue cites Navision Financials as "Best Graphical User Interface" and "Best Drilldown and Online Inquiry."

The Controller Magazine review praised Navision Financials for being "easily the most consistent with the latest Windows 95 look and feel." Navision Financials was the first package to comply with all three Microsoft logo standards, including Designed for Microsoft Windows 95, Designed for Microsoft BackOffice and Microsoft Office Compatible.

In addition, Navision is spotlighted for offering comprehensive drilldown and drillaround capabilities. Stewart McKie, a noted accounting software consultant and author of the review, listed Navision's drilldown-enabled FlowFields as one of the top six functional innovations currently found in any mid-range accounting package. This functionality allows for users to view the system-maintained balances from any form and the ability to drill down to the transaction level. Few packages offer this level of drilldown capability.

The review went on to say that when considering Navision Financials' value for money, it "can be configured very precisely, due to its use of smaller functional components called 'granules,' which makes it possible for Navision to be priced more accurately to individual functional needs."

Navision Financials was developed by Navision Software, a leading worldwide developer of multi-national accounting and business management software solutions.

Navision Financials is sold through a worldwide network of Navision Solution Centers staffed with certified professionals dedicated to providing customized solutions, training, support and service.
