Microsoft Dynamics AX
Powerful. Agile. Easy-to-use.
Microsoft Dynamics AX is a comprehensive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that delivers rich, prebuilt, industry-operational features out of the box. And, it offers proven functionality for the manufacturing (process, discrete and lean), retail, distribution, public sector and service industries.
This powerful solution goes beyond the traditional ERP software that manages only the administrative functions of a business (financial and human resources), and incorporates both the administrative and operational management requirements, providing an enterprise-wide view of the organization for well-informed and confident management and decision making.
Microsoft Dynamics AX is a truly global solution that is designed to scale with the growth of a business. It is simple enough to deploy for a single business unit in a single country, yet easily scalable to support requirements for 36 countries, multiple currencies, multiple time zones, multiple languages, and compliance with multiple banking and reporting standards and legislative codes.
