At a corporate level - I am interested in hearing out from PM with experience in integrating MS Project 2010 and Navision 2015, although experiences with other versions might also apply.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a global enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that provides small and midsize businesses greater control over their financials and can simplify their supply chain, manufacturing, and operations. It's quick to implement and easy to use, with the power to support your growth ambition.
You can set up Microsoft Dynamics NAV to be available as an app for SharePoint. This means that Microsoft Dynamics NAV data can be shown in a SharePoint site, and that you can modify the data on the SharePoint site through the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client.
You can deploy Microsoft Dynamics NAV as an app for SharePoint Online and SharePoint on-premises.
The users' access to Microsoft Dynamics NAV is not restricted to the page that you expose in SharePoint. You must assign the relevant permissions to each user in Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
To integrate with SharePoint, you must have a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server and Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Server instance. These components can be deployed on-premise or on a cloud service, such as Microsoft Azure
When you have built your app for SharePoint in Visual Studio, you must publish it in order to create the deployment package. Depending on your scenario, you can deploy the app to SharePoint in different ways.
For example, you can publish the app to the SharePoint store so that it is accessible for others to install on their SharePoint sites. Saving Changes...

Agree with Samuel. I appreciate the information given by Sameh, but it is not yet clear to me whether Navision and MS Project may be integrated.
For instance;
1. Once the Gantt chart (with tasks, subtasks, durations, dependencies, resources, etc.) is completed, can it be "imported" into Navision?
2. When team members claim the effort invested in Navision (i.e. on a weekly basis, for the assigned tasks), can it be automatically linked to the plan in MS Project?
3. What other functionalities may be integrated? i.e. job forecast, calendars, etc.
Sorry Eduard, I don’t have any experience of this to help you, but I am interested to read about its capabilities as described by Sameh, it would be very useful to have here too (if it integrates properly with MS Project). I am trying to work out all the pre-requisites & hence what it may cost to implement with an app. So far I can work out :
MS Project Professional version client licences
MS Sharepoint client licences
MS Sharepoint physical server/VM
MS Sharepoint server licence
MS Dynamics NAV physical server/VM
MS Dynamics NAV physical web server/VM
MS Dynamics NAV server licences
MS Dynamics NAV client licences
MS Visual Studio Professional client licence
Skillsets needed- Sharepoint & Visual Studio developer skills
Is this correct/ is there anything else that I have missed? Saving Changes...
