Microsoft Dynamics AX

Targeted to small to medium-sized companies with 50 - 1000+ users

Complex Manufacturing and Distribution.

Dynamics AX is Microsoft's high end system. It offers features such as a product configurator (which allows order clerks to configure a complex product with many options and features on the fly), graphical views of scheduling and Bill of Materials.

Technology.

Dynamics AX is the only Microsoft Dynamics solution available today that is web based. Axapta can be accessed over the internet using a browser or using the same user interface used over a local area network. Dynamics AX uses "thin client" architecture, which means that only a small amount of code is required on a workstation or remote computer. Traffic over the internet is kept to a minimum. Non web-based systems require the use of products such as Citrix and Terminal Services to obtain remote access, but do this at the expense of additional complexity and expense.

International.

Dynamics AX is compliant with the legal requirements of thirty-one countries around the world.

Multilingual.

You can run multiple languages, changing from one to another in real-time. Employees can work in the language of their choice and they can send documents to customers and vendors in their native languages.

Customisations.

Customisations are specific not only by user, but also by location and by company. Dynamics AX uses a versioning system for its customizations that allows you to revert back to previous versions if necessary.

Multiple Site Support.

Multi-site support is ideal for companies with wide area networks that want centralised reporting and the ability to cross-reference or amalgamate information from individual offices. Customer, vendor, general ledger account numbers and similar information can be shared or made unique depending on business needs.
