Originally founded in 1975 Microsoft rose to dominate the home computer operating system market with MS-DOS® in the mid-1980s, followed by the Windows® line of operating systems. More recently, Microsoft decided to develop financial and business management software for companies as well. With the acquisition of Navision in 2006 Microsoft entered the market of enterprise resource planning, resulting in the release of the ERP suite Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Currently Microsoft Dynamics™ consists of the following modules:
