Use industry standards
Microsoft Dynamics supports industry-standard software development technologies, such as Component Object Model standards and ActiveX components, for easy integration with other systems and development of new functions. In addition, Microsoft Dynamics uses modern development tools such as Microsoft Visual C++ and features software development kits (SDKs) and other developer documentation to ensure efficient configuration and development.
Customize user views
Microsoft Dynamics is familiar to your people because it works like other Microsoft products. Moreover, Microsoft Dynamics allows people to create personalized views that display critical information they need for maximum productivity. System administrators can also easily provide RoleTailored access—providing security for data and convenience to employees, customers, vendors, and partners.
Integrate with Microsoft technology
Microsoft Dynamics can integrate fully with other Microsoft products, reducing the risk of implementing customized solutions. Partners and developers have readily available tools for customized integration with other Microsoft software, that brings information from Microsoft Dynamics business management solutions into Microsoft Office System programs.
Tap into an ecosystem of partners and industry solutions
Typically, Microsoft Dynamics will be implemented for you by a Microsoft partner. These partners can provide any fine-tuning and customization and help guide your information technology (IT) staff in further adjusting Microsoft Dynamics to your changing business requirements. In addition, Microsoft partners worldwide develop solutions that extend and enhance the standard functionality of Microsoft Dynamics for specific vertical industries. These solutions offer tailored functionality to meet your specific business needs. Find out more about Microsoft Dynamics solutions for your industry.
Maximize your development resources
When system customization and data integration are needed, Microsoft Dynamics offers configuration features and development tools that maximize your development resources. Below are just a few examples:
| • | Microsoft Dynamics AX—Functionality can be turned on or off according to business requirements—without the need for coding, reinstallation, or upgrade. And the built-in MorphX integrated development environment was designed with customization in mind. |
| • | Microsoft Dynamics GP—eConnect, a series of programmable tools, enables quick integration between Microsoft Dynamics GP and outside data sources, such as Web services or legacy applications to extend the reach of the Microsoft Dynamics GP solution. |
| • | Microsoft Dynamics NAV—Open architecture and object-oriented development environment make custom configuration and modification easy. |
| • | Microsoft Dynamics SL—Customization Manager allows modification of screens without changing underlying code, while the built-in programmatic interface lets developers quickly incorporate business logic for automated functions. |
Build a connected business with Web services
Web services reduce the cost of integration and enable businesses to more easily create innovative cross-system applications. Web services give you a painless way to link systems, as well as organizations and business entities, thereby making information available where it is most useful. Microsoft Dynamics exposes Web services so that developers can easily make use of shared-source software programs, or create seamless composite applications that bridge systems.
