History:
2009

In 2009, Serenic won the 2009 Microsoft Dynamics Industry Solutions Vendor (ISV) of the Year for the United States, and was selected as a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Partner of the Year finalist. Winners of the ISV award were selected from a group of finalists based on their dedication to delivering solutions that meet diverse customer needs, and meeting key several criteria including technological expertise on Microsoft Dynamics products and services, and feedback from Microsoft team members. Winners of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Partner of the Year award were chosen from a pool of nearly 2,000 entrants worldwide. The award recognizes partners who have exhibited excellence in providing innovative and unique solutions based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV. This award recognizes Serenic's business leadership, consistent, high quality service, and the significant benefits Serenic customers gain from their Microsoft Dynamics NAV investments.

In addition to these awards, Serenic was once again named to the Microsoft President's Club and the elite Microsoft Dynamics Inner Circle which includes only the top 1% of Microsoft’s partners each year.

2007

Also Serenic earned "Certified for Microsoft Dynamics" which was a new program designed to help customers identify the top 500 ISV solutions that meet the highly specialized needs of particular industries. In addition to these awards, Serenic was named to the elite Microsoft Dynamics Inner Circle and President's Club.

2007 was a year of constant innovation.  Releasing in 2007 was a series of operational software solutions which are all fully integrated with Navigator:  AwardVision (grant management), CommunityCare (consumer services and sheltered workshops), MinistryView (mission and outreach program management), and Portals (web-based data access).

In addition to the awards and solutions released, Serenic Navigator and its product suite was selected by pioneers and leaders in the nonprofit and NGO space: CARE, Family Health International, Joyce Meyer Ministries, and Medair.

2006

In 2006 Microsoft Dynamics began an Embedded ISV program to help those ISVs with total solutions for their vertically focused markets with license and pricing support to help better serve their industries. As a trusted partner with a nationally recognized solution in Fund Accounting, Serenic became a natural selection for Microsoft, and happily this corporation was selected as one of the first 10 partners world-wide to be inducted into the Embedded ISV program.

Also in 2006, the 5-year exclusivity on Human Resources and Payroll products came to a conclusion. Serenic Corporation acting on behalf of its subsidiary, VisionPay, reached a new agreement with Microsoft whereby all rights and responsibilities of the Human Resources and Payroll products reverted to VisionPay (now known as Serenic Canada). Almost 100 partners around North America signed new agreements to purchase HR and Payroll through Serenic. In return Serenic has committed to a continuation of product enhancements and growth, including the annual tax updates so important to end-users.

2005

Microsoft elects a name change for its financial management software lines to Microsoft Dynamics with abbreviations for each of the solutions it had previously published. Contrary to popular belief, the name change did NOT indicate a software preference, but simply made a better word for the world community that Microsoft had been targeting – Dynamics. The products produced by Serenic fall under the Dynamics NAV umbrella.

Also in 2005, Microsoft announced that Dynamics NAV had achieved the ambitious notation that there were at that time one million Dynamics NAV users around the world.
