Works like and with familiar Microsoft products

Unlike some other business management systems that force you to use specialized toolsets, Microsoft Dynamics AX uses standard adapters based upon VisualStudio.NET and BizTalk Server 2006. Microsoft Dynamics AX leverages other Microsoft product innovations such as Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Windows, and integrates financial, customer relationship and supply chain processes. The solution lets your people work with familiar Microsoft Office software while using your business management solution.
Easily customizable and highly scalable
Microsoft Dynamics AX is built with a layered architecture so you can customize one layer without affecting the functionality on other layers. This means that you can adapt and upgrade your solution over time with less risk and expense.
You can also adapt Microsoft Dynamics AX to new business processes, enabling you to respond quickly to changes in the market, which helps make your people and your business follow the market and work more effectively. Furthermore, you can extend the already powerful core solution by adding industry-specific solutions provided by a wide variety of partners and independent software vendors.
Advanced technology supports your growing business
Microsoft Dynamics AX is built to change and evolve with your business and technology needs. The solution gives your people direct access to the information they need to do their jobs; while managers have the ability to control access to sensitive data.
The three-tier, object-oriented architecture of Microsoft Dynamics AX integrates with other Microsoft technology like Microsoft SQL Server 2005, offering you high-speed server-side performance and the ability to easily scale your IT infrastructure, so the solution can grow with your company.
Additionally, the object-oriented architecture of Microsoft Dynamics AX is different than many competitors in that it can scale up to support large distributed businesses, and can also scale down support the specific requirements of smaller companies.
Connect and interact with ease
Microsoft Dynamics AX helps you to collaborate efficiently with your business partners by exchanging documents electronically. The solution also extends your business processes to the Internet easily, opening your company to customers from all over the world, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by developing Web functionality with the same integrated set of development tools you use to develop Microsoft Windows client-based functionality.
By integrating with Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006, Microsoft Dynamics AX has the flexibility to help you connect to very large corporations that use sophisticated integration standards as well as smaller businesses with simpler standards. You can also use XML to streamline your supply chain, increase accuracy, and speed up your production, sales and delivery processes.
