Industry software for Microsoft Dynamics AX

Drive innovation faster with a standard solution that fits your industry needs

Microsoft Dynamics AX delivers a rich industry foundation on which partners build packaged vertical applications to help you improve your ability to cope with individual market dynamics. These strong industry capabilities deliver breakthrough innovation for organizations in key industries—manufacturing, distribution, retail, services, and the public sector.

News!
To accelerate this road map, Microsoft has acquired deep industry functionality for manufacturing, retail, and services, so these industry capabilities are now at the core of a single, standard solution.

This single, standard platform makes it easier to implement, maintain, and upgrade Microsoft Dynamics AX industry software, resulting in significantly lower total cost of ownership. For example, vertical templates, part of the Microsoft Dynamics Sure Step implementation methodology, simplify and speed up implementation while helping to ensure you can meet the demands of your specialized business.

Mark Holt, IT Manager for Cayman Chemical says this about his company’s decision to run a Microsoft Dynamics AX industry solution:

“We choose Microsoft Dynamics AX with the process manufacturing solution from Fullscope over Oracle and SAP because Microsoft’s industry solution enabled a better fit with our business processes instead of dictating a fixed set of industry practices. Microsoft’s move to add industry solutions directly in to Microsoft Dynamics AX provides a predictable industry road map allowing partners to focus on the vertical solutions that can keep pace with the rate of innovation.”

Microsoft Business Solutions-Axapta Product Builder

Microsoft^® Business Solutions–Axapta^® Product Builder simplifies and streamlines the process of ordering, planning and producing customized products, helping you to win more orders and increase customer loyalty.

Key Benefits:

- Your customers, vendors and employees can easily configure customized products

- Deliver customized products faster and more cost effectively by reducing the manual work involved in designing, planning and producing them

- An easy to use system that adapts to the needs of your customers and employees

Microsoft Axapta Product Builder enables your employees, as well as your customers, to configure complex products via a Microsoft Windows^® client or over the Web.

Microsoft Axapta is an all-in-one solution that gives you real-time connectivity across your business. The Product Builder is designed to work with other key functional areas in Microsoft Axapta, including the Enterprise Portal, Master Planning, Production, Sales and Purchasing to shorten delivery cycles and optimize product design and production planning.

Efficient configuration of customized products

Both your customers and your employees can use the Product Builder to configure customized products and quickly obtain accurate pricing and delivery dates. Your employees can configure products using the Product Builder within the Microsoft Axapta client. In combination with Microsoft Axapta Enterprise Portal, your customers can configure products through your company Web site to match their unique needs. With Microsoft Axapta Product Builder, your business is open to your customers 24/7.

The Product Builder enables you to create flexible product models which define each product’s configurable options according to variables such as color, size and materials. Products can then be configured which match your customers’ individual requirements based on the options provided in the product models.

When the product has been configured, your customers receive up-to-date pricing and delivery information based on their choices. Because Product Builder links to other modules within Microsoft Axapta, updates to products, prices and lead times are automatically reflected throughout the solution and on your company Web site. Your customers will always be kept up-to-date on the status of the products they want.

The Product Builder provides information on the price and delivery date for configured products

Deliver customized products faster and more cost effectively

Setting up the product models in Microsoft Axapta Product Builder is fast and efficient and reduces the potential for error. Through a series of menus and options, you define the criteria for the product models that are then used to configure products for individual orders.

When products are configured, the bills of material (BOM) and production routes are automatically generated for each sales order line. This results in less manual work required in production planning and scheduling and faster delivery of customized products to your customers. Pricing is also automatically calculated for each item on the configured BOM. And, as the Product Builder is connected in real time to the Master Planning module, delivery dates are calculated immediately with consideration of on-hand inventory and capacity availability.

Changes to product specifications are easily managed within the Product Builder. As BOMs are not pre-defined but are defined as products are configured, changes made to product models are reflected in BOMs created from that point on. This avoids the need to manually change hundreds of BOMs when changes to a product specification are made; you make the change once in the product model and that is all.

Come Funziona la Business Intelligence

Una soluzione di Business Intelligence efficace e integrata può migliorare il business guidando il processo decisionale di tutta l'azienda. Per far fede a questa promessa deve essere progettata adattandosi alle esigenze di ogni utente e deve avere la flessibilità necessaria per accogliere tutte le informazioni strutturate e non strutturate che l'azienda utilizza giorno per giorno.

È necessario un metodo per riunire e organizzare tutte le informazioni a disposizione, sia che provengano da e-mail o internet, sia che provengano da una fonte aziendale, una conversazione o altro. Con queste caratteristiche, oltre a SQL Server, avrete una gamma completa di funzionalità, tra cui reporting avanzato, integrazione e strumenti di analisi che consentono di adottare un look ancora più incisivo per il vostro business.

Microsoft offre una gamma completa di soluzioni di Business Intelligence che lavorano insieme per formare una completa, sinergica soluzione che ti aiuti a guidare la tua attività.

Fast 1: Dati di qualità

Una solida soluzione di Business Intelligence è esattamente il dato sul quale le persone fanno affidamento per le proprie scelte di business. SQL Server può riunire tutti i dati, ovunque risiedano. Noto per la sua potenza e la scalabilità, SQL Server offre un motore in grado di memorizzare grandi quantità di informazioni e supporta carichi elevati di query e clustering.

Fast 2: Strumenti per analisi approfondite

Gli utenti finali possono avere a disposizione risorse che li aiutino a prendere decisioni accurate e affidabili. Uno degli strumenti che molte persone già utilizzano, che conoscono e di cui si fidano è Microsoft Office Excel. Con la versione 2007, Microsoft ha effettuato importanti investimenti per la capacità di analizzare, visualizzare e interpretare i dati.

Le nuove funzionalità includono:

Microsoft Office Excel 2007 è stato significativamente migliorato. L'ambiente di analisi con cui gli utenti hanno familiarità ora permette di accedere a più informazioni, funzionalità di analisi più potenti e facili da usare e una semplice connessione ai dati in SQL Server 2008 in un modo più sicuro, intuitivo e gestito.
Excel Services offre un nuovo componente che consente la pubblicazione delle analisi e delle informazioni ottenute in Excel. Con Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, gli utenti possono eseguire la pubblicazione sul Web, in una rete Extranet o Intranet. Questo livello di integrazione e percorsi affidabili aiutano a mantenere l'integrità delle origini dati e assicurano l'uniformità dei dati.

I Risultati

Gli individui hanno accesso a dati di qualità superiore. Possono prendere migliori decisioni e avere la certezza che le loro decisioni siano allineate agli obiettivi aziendali. Le soluzioni Microsoft per la Business Intelligence supportano qualsiasi ambiente aziendale, dalle piccole imprese alle grandi organizzazioni. Crescono con l'espansione delle organizzazioni e rappresentano un piccolo investimento con un grande rendimento, offrendo la certezza di contribuire ad ampliare le attività di business.

Data Warehousing

Troppe organizzazioni non dispongono degli strumenti per integrare, archiviare e accedere in modo efficace ai propri dati. Spesso questo accade perché i dati risiedono i diversi sistemi e mancano di uniformità, rendendo difficile per il personale accedere ai dati per ottenere informazioni significative. Le soluzioni Microsoft per la Business Intelligence possono aiutare a cambiare questa situazione perché offrono una piattaforma di data warehousing scalabile e di fascia enterprise che aiuta a estendere il valore dei dati.

Il data warehousing è essenziale per rendere accessibili i dati aziendali tramite un'origine dati integrata, gestita in modo centrale e affidabile. Le soluzioni Microsoft per la Business Intelligence offrono le consolidate funzionalità di Microsoft SQL Server 2008 e SQL Server 2008 Integration Services che permettono di creare e gestire con facilità data warehouse scalabili, in grado di soddisfare le esigenze anche delle organizzazioni più grandi e complesse.

Reportistica e Analisi

La tua organizzazione raccoglie una grande quantità di dati. Gestirli in modo che tutti accedano alle informazioni giuste al momento giusto è un problema costante. Inoltre, una volta che le persone hanno a disposizione tali dati e informazioni, un problema ancora più grande è aiutarle a farne uso per prendere decisioni migliori. Oltre a un ambiente che consente di collaborare, cercare e gestire dati e documenti, le soluzioni Microsoft per la Business Intelligence offrono strumenti di reporting e analisi che permettono di trasformare raccolte di dati in informazioni significative.

Le soluzioni Microsoft per la Business Intelligence offrono strumenti di reporting, strumenti di analisi e tecnologie in grado di soddisfare le specifiche esigenze delle organizzazioni. È possibile lavorare con le funzionalità ampiamente utilizzate, e oggi migliorate, di Microsoft Office Excel 2007, SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services, SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services, Report Builder, ProClarity Analytics e data mining. Inoltre, per condividere le informazioni con gli altri, le soluzioni Microsoft utilizzano sia le funzionalità per la Business Intelligence integrate in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 che le sue caratteristiche di collaborazione, ricerca e gestione dei documenti. Le soluzioni Microsoft per la Business Intelligence offrono strumenti economici e facili da usare che aiutano ad accedere, comunicare, analizzare e condividere le informazioni a tutti i livelli dell'organizzazione.

Microsoft Dynamics for the sales professional

Microsoft Dynamics for the sales professional

Meet customer needs, drive more sales, and build strong customer relationships

The success of a company relies on the business and revenue it generates. Maintaining happy customers while pursuing new relationships is essential to this task. The Sales department not only drives future growth but also shapes the direction of the company and enables it to meet its goals through the customer relationships created by sales engagements.

Sales representatives must have available to them the most accurate company data, including up-to-the-minute product and service pricing as well as information about clients. Success for the sales department depends largely on immediate access to business-critical information, which helps them respond to customer needs. Customer relationship management (CRM) software can give the sales team a strategic advantage and make information that can be hard to find or that resides in disparate systems more centralized and readily available.

People

Kevin, a Sales Manager

As a Sales Manager for a midsize company, I am responsible not only for the performance of our Sales Representatives and our company's relationships with its customers but also for setting goals, providing resources for the sales staff, and maintaining the image our company wants to project. For me, building a solid sales team and strong relationships with our customers is key.

With my busy schedule, I often work long hours. Microsoft Dynamics business management solutions help me to account for both the sales team's progress on converting new leads to sales as well as our actual sales results. With up-to-the-minute data, Microsoft Dynamics CRM lets me respond to any sales concern, determine pricing policies, and track individual as well as team performance. Thanks to Microsoft Dynamics, I always know how well we are doing.

I am also the point of escalation for the customer service and sales teams. When I need to take a call from an unhappy customer and leave the person content, Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides me with a full account history and all the information that might help me in that conversation.

Michael, an Account Manager

As an Account Manager, I am responsible for maintaining the relationship with existing customers and for providing customer service, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM is crucial for me to do my job well. If a customer has a question, I only have to go to one place to get the history of both the customer and the deal. I'm also responsible for the overall customer experience. With a complete customer record, nothing falls through the cracks. This lets me provide the kind of experience our customers want—and expect.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM lets me stay focused on growing the accounts because it's easy to keep records of all my contacts and activities. I don't have to work to remember what I said to the customer the last time we spoke; it's all in the customer record.

Processes

The Sales team is at the front line of your company. You must be able to accurately gauge their performance as well as effectively plan, execute, and take advantage of sales opportunities. Microsoft Dynamics CRM lets you view, manage, and track the work of your Sales team, see how fast the Sales team converts new leads to prospects and sales, and evaluate performance changes over time.

Qualifying leads and closing the deal. Extensive research, effort, and time are necessary to maintain customers, manage a team, and qualify sales leads. Sales Managers rely on key sales information, such as staff performance data, budget and expense information, and product pricing, as well as information on potential customers, including intelligence that helps determine a customer's market and financial position. The contact and opportunity management features in Microsoft Dynamics let you maintain detailed profiles of your sales contacts, move the sales process along, and pursue all actionable opportunities. And Microsoft Dynamics CRM offers integrated, flexible customer relationship management (CRM) tools that enable the tracking and reporting of sales results and events on customer accounts.

Easy access to data to improve sales processes. The Sales Manager must have up-to-the-minute business and industry data, and you must also be able to quickly and effectively access, share, and analyze that data. With Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you can document and manage your customers and prospects; create, view, revise, and distribute financial reports; and assign tasks to your team and ensure their completion. Microsoft Dynamics solutions maintain information from throughout the organization in a single repository, so you always have a complete view of factors that affect your business. And Microsoft Dynamics solutions work with and like other Microsoft products. For example, you can export and analyze data in Microsoft Office Excel, create reports in your preferred format, and make them available through business portals built on Microsoft SharePoint technology.

Microsoft Dynamics for the IT professional

Microsoft Dynamics for the IT professional
Reduce costs, connect systems, empower people, and deliver business results

IT teams are responsible for the computers, networks, and software applications that manage a company’s operations, track financial transactions, and enable people to communicate and collaborate throughout the company. Without a smooth flow of information through a company’s IT systems, operations would not be efficient or even possible in some cases. IT managers need to monitor the day-to-day health of complex systems while simultaneously tracking innovations in technology that might create competitive advantages.

People
Tim, an IT manager
As the IT manager, my job is to keep our company’s network and computers up and running and see to it that everyone has the information and tools they need to do their job. My goal is to select, deploy, and manage our company’s IT investments so they become strategic assets to help the company reach its business goals.

The obstacles I face include the fact that we have many departments using systems that aren’t connected, leading to data duplication and sometimes multiple versions of the “truth.” It’s not enough to keep machines and applications running; I have to make sure that critical information can move through these siloed systems and reach the right people at the right time.

Processes
Microsoft Dynamics ERP and CRM solutions make the job of connecting systems and exchanging information easier for IT professionals, and in many cases, it happens automatically. Microsoft Dynamics enables your end-users to access information by themselves, so IT professionals can concentrate on higher-value tasks.

Reduced costs. Microsoft Dynamics solutions are built on a standard Microsoft platform, which helps your company reduce costs. You may already use many of the supporting technologies, such as Windows Server, Microsoft SQL Server, or Windows SharePoint Services. If so, you won’t need special licensing or costly, time-consuming retraining to benefit from Microsoft Dynamics solutions.

Familiar user experience. Microsoft Dynamics solutions operate like other familiar Microsoft applications, such as Microsoft Office. The RoleTailored user interface provides access to the data and insights needed for individual roles or departments, making Microsoft Dynamics easier to learn and use and helping to reduce IT support requirements.

Responsive to change. With a flexible and standard architecture that takes advantage of Microsoft .NET components such as Windows Workflow Foundation, Microsoft Dynamics enables you to quickly and easily add features and update workflows to respond to changing business conditions. This helps ensure that your business software is adaptable to your changing business needs.

Simpler end-user reporting. Microsoft Dynamics helps make important business information more widely accessible in your organization, giving the right people access to the right information at the right time. By using Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies, you can provide straightforward access to information via a Web browser. And because Microsoft Dynamics is built to work with familiar Microsoft Office programs such as Outlook and Excel, your people can use familiar tools to perform additional analysis.

Flexible deployment. Microsoft Dynamics ERP and CRM solutions are available either on-premise or via a hosted model (partner-hosted or Microsoft-hosted in the case of Microsoft Dynamics CRM), providing you with flexible and cost-effective deployment options.
