Microsoft Dynamics

Microsoft Dynamics is a line of integrated, adaptable business management solutions that automate and streamline financial, customer relationship, and supply chain processes in a way that helps you drive business success. Microsoft Dynamics extends the reach of business solutions and enables business agility through a “real-world” SOA approach -- designed to quickly and iteratively deliver on business goals. This approach to SOA enables organizations to align their IT assets with changing business needs.

Microsoft Dynamics business management software greatly simplifies real-world SOA projects. Core service-orientation capabilities are built into not only Microsoft Dynamics, but also the native infrastructure—components based on the Microsoft Application Platform, such as Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft BizTalk Server, the Microsoft .NET Framework, Windows Server, and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.

Combining Microsoft Dynamics with BizTalk Server in a real world SOA delivers the following key benefits:

• Easy, affordable, world class integration – systems, data, people, processes
• Real time connection, visibility, alerting - visibility to key data in multiple systems within and across organizational boundaries, real time alerts
• Business process improvement - create, manage, monitor, optimize key business processes across multiple systems, within and across organizational boundaries
• Agility – use SOA & web services to respond quickly to change, create Composite Applications to meet emerging needs
• Supply chain optimization – reduce cost, increase visibility & efficiency, improve customer service
