Neville,
When you say, "...the users actually work on a desktop in the cloud and everything stays there..." does this mean that if we had NAV on the cloud, users could log in and update whatever manutacturing there was for the day, as if they were doing the process from the business server we have now? Also, with NAV we can export reports to excel or word. If it were on the cloud, when you export, does it open those reports on excel in the cloud or through excel on an individual's desktop?
I hope these questions aren't too trivial. I just want to get the best understanding before we proceed. Our company really wants to put NAV on a cloud server, but we just want to make sure ahead of time that we know what we're getting into before taking this next steps. Since cloud technology seems so new, we do not know much at all about it. Also, what cloud companies would you recommend to host NAV?
