Why Clients Choose Dynamics 365 or AX On-Premise?
Key elements to success in today’s business world are the company’s software and its ability to process business intelligence. Microsoft Dynamics AX On-Premise, based on a powerful and flexible platform built by Microsoft, enables you to achieve visibility, insight and control over your operations. And most importantly, it’s designed to work the way your people already work—with Microsoft business apps and IT infrastructure—so you’ll see faster adoption and broader usage.
What makes Dynamics AX an ideal candidate for both local and comprehensive global management solutions is its multi-language and multi-currency features. An added bonus is that, Dynamics AX is designed to cost-effectively support customizations that are necessary for companies to adapt, grow and maintain a competitive edge. These customizations are implemented by our team to make the system work better for your company, and require little to no maintenance from your team. This may sound complex, but Microsoft Dynamics AX has an interface that is built like other familiar Microsoft products and is so easy to use. Because of the customization and scalable configurabilty of AX, the solution is a better fit for manufacturers. Dynamics ERP gives businesses like retail, manufacturing, job shops, and MRO’s:
- process improvements
- job costing
- resource scheduling
- financial knowledge
Other solutions offer enterprise integration, but fall short as they don’t integrate with other software. Dynamics AX is one unified integrative ERP solution.
Dynamics 365 & Dynamics AX On-Premise Modules and Functionality
Dynamics AX On-Premise is composed of a suite of modules, which can be thought of as functional compartments. These modules represent areas such as financials, human resources, project accounting and production, to name just a few.
As the software is feature rich with a lower total cost of ownership; your company is getting Tier 1 software at a Tier 2 price.
The core ERP capabilities or modules support your users with the role based information they need. Think of Dynamics AX as an all inclusive tool-kit. It has many parts, but is not complicated to use. Use what you need after implementation, and if your business obligations demand more functionality, Dynamics AX can help with that in the future too.
