Microsoft Dynamics Industry Solutions (MDIS) is a structured program where Microsoft works together with a select group of independent software vendors (ISVs) to develop Microsoft Dynamics AX software solutions for a number of specific industries.
ISVs that partner with Microsoft in MDIS are required to demonstrate overall business stability and fiscal accountability, a solution development process that uses Microsoft best practices, and readiness in providing global support. Solutions that are developed through the MDIS program meet Microsoft's strict quality standards and are packaged with a Microsoft-backed customer support offering. These solutions are sold on the Microsoft Dynamics AX price list.
Microsoft Dynamics Industry Solutions include:
Depend on Microsoft quality standards and testing
By working closely with Microsoft, ISVs follow the Microsoft development path. All solutions in the program must meet specifications defined by Microsoft development and quality assurance staff and are independently tested by a third-party company. An in-depth analysis validates that development of each solution follows Microsoft best practices (for example, those of Microsoft Dynamics AX and Microsoft .NET). This extensive testing means that the solutions meet the Microsoft standards, so you can count on basic solution requirements such as efficient backup/restore, usability, scalability, and security. All Microsoft Dynamics Industry Solutions are tested in these areas:
| • | Design, documentation, coding, security, and localization |
| • | Capability to be deployed and supported |
| • | Scalability and upgradeability, including service packs |
Get up and running fast
Microsoft Dynamics Industry Solutions gives customers a single source for product support from qualified experts. Microsoft Dynamics Industry Solutions support contracts cover both the Microsoft Dynamics AX core modules and the Microsoft Dynamics Industry Solution program component.A single point of contact helps to ensure that your solution gets up and running fast and efficiently.
Get more value from the latest technology
Microsoft focuses on bringing you a core business software solution with a broad selection of the best new technology. Microsoft ISVs focus on extending that core solution with powerful functionality to support your industry-specific needs so you can maintain your competitive advantage. The whole development process is coordinated to help make sure you get the best new technology on a regular basis.
ISVs in the program are committed to supporting every new Microsoft Dynamics AX release. For that reason, Microsoft tests the ISVs for their ability to upgrade solutions. The test includes the following areas:
| • | Ability to properly place (and locate later) any customizations |
| • | Database upgrade scripts |
| • | File versioning |
| • | Creation of list of all modified forms and methods |
| • | Documentation of all integration points with the core Microsoft Dynamics AX product |
