ERP systems: Microsoft Dynamics AX for supply chain management

Updated: October 24, 2005

The combined forces of Microsoft Dynamics AX and the Internet help your people reduce inventory and increase productivity.

Microsoft Dynamics AX automates sales and purchasing and streamlines intercompany operations. And because it was built for the Internet, your sales team can access, view, and update customer and company information anytime, anywhere.

People in your organization can also use the Web to exchange accurate and up-to-date information with your vendors, sell products and services, exchange information with consultants, and configure complex products.

Microsoft Dynamics AX also helps them manage a broad range of other business areas, minimizing the need for multiple systems.
