A major focus of our Microsoft Dynamics practice is the full life-cycle implementation of Dynamics AX with manufacturers, distributors, and service organizations. We focus on a process-driven implementation where the rich functionality of Dynamics AX is married to an efficient and streamlined business process to deliver exceptional performance. Though Dynamics AX implementation projects can be complex, our consultants bring years of industry experience, Dynamics AX knowledge, and experience with project and change management that not only reduce the risk of such projects, but also increase the return the business will see on its investment. Additionally, our Microsoft Certified Professionals apply the Microsoft Sure Step methodology and tool set to keep projects on time, on target, and on budget.

Though many ERP applications do not lend themselves to customization due to their architecture and programming, which negatively impact project cost and risk and negatively impact future modifications, the Dynamics AX architecture and components make customizations intuitive and seamless. Additionally, the layered architecture allows future upgrades to occur with minimal effort and testing. For these reasons, we fully support development of customizations and extensions of Dynamics AX in order to drive value to the business. Whereas other ERP applications may force a process change to fit into pre-defined functional templates, Dynamics AX allows the user to create unique functionality to support a process that creates differentiators against competitors. In defining and delivering customizations, our Microsoft Certified Professionals follow the Microsoft Sure Step methodology and tool set to minimize development costs and risks and to maximize the value the effort returns to the business. Our resources can offer full development services within the Dynamics AX architecture, and we also offer expertise in the following in the following related technologies:

• .NET programming
• SharePoint
• SQL and SQL Reporting

We recognize that one of the major values Dynamics AX can provide to the business is visibility into key metrics and drivers that allow management to react in real-time to changing business conditions. To deliver this value, we apply a top-down approach to identify and define the metrics and drivers that are unique to your specific industry and business. We recognize that business intelligence (BI) can exist on a number of levels, including Personal, Team, and Organizational. Personal BI allows an individual to make decisions, improve productivity, and successfully execute his or her role in the organization. Team BI allows user to collaborate and work together to achieve common tactical goals. Organizational BI is used to make strategic decisions and gauge the overall health of the business. The goals of these types of BI are different, and we apply this knowledge to deliver BI with the appropriate tool and with the appropriate type and detail of content. Once defined, we apply the rich features available in Dynamics AX Business Intelligence to produce the reporting and dashboards that deliver meaningful and actionable information to these three groups.
