Ten ways Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 can maximize your IT investment
Updated: June 1, 2008
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 can help your organization maximize your IT investment and reduce total cost of ownership by enabling you to:
1.
Support evolving line-of-business (LOB) needs by automating processes and configuring and adapting your solution to the way your business operates.
2.
Replace nonintegrated systems with a centralized, cost-effective solution that improves information access and collaboration and integrates easily with critical LOB systems by using a flexible, service-oriented architecture (SOA).
3.
Build profitable connections with partners. Easily support supply chain collaboration through the exchange of standard business documents or custom built Web services with the Web services framework in Microsoft Dynamics AX.
4.
Increase user adoption and get people up to speed quickly with a familiar, RoleTailored user interface that looks and feels like other familiar Microsoft products.
5.
Extend access to Microsoft Dynamics throughout the organization by providing access from within Microsoft Office applications or Web-based access to information and processes, such as expense management entry, with Microsoft Dynamics Client for Microsoft Office and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
6.
Implement geo-specific tools, including a bi-directional user interface and support for Arabic language.
7.
Lower hardware costs through enhanced performance and scalability. Improvements in the application have resulted in substantial performance and scalability results. Three-tier architecture and integration with other Microsoft technologies, such as Microsoft SQL Server 2008, gives you the ability to easily add users and scale your IT infrastructure to support large, distributed enterprises.
8.
Minimize IT overhead with self-service reporting and business intelligence tools that enable people to help themselves, and leave IT staff free to focus on strategic initiatives.
9.
Maximize existing investments—and reduce ownership costs—with a business application platform for integrating with other business systems or building additional functionality.
10.
Help enforce internal controls and meet compliance requirements with an easy-to-use, embedded workflow framework and access control. Read the white paper about Microsoft SQL Server 2008 security.
