3Li Dynamics Retail has a built-in communications module that is used to exchange data between the Central warehouse, depots and stores, including the point of sale terminals. The architecture of the communications module has three components: the Data Director, the Transaction Server and the Task Manager.
Data Director is tasked with the broadband data exchanges between the various Microsoft Dynamics NAV databases and with other databases. Data Director was designed specifically to speed up duplication on Wide Area Networks (WANs). It accelerates data exchanges and requires less bandwidth than equivalent software.
Data Director is especially important for users working on remote sites, because it speeds up their communications and reduces the corresponding costs.
