• Give people quick access to data and connect them with customers, suppliers, partners, and team members through self-service collaboration tools such as Microsoft SharePoint
• Simplify management of your ERP solution at every stage of the life cycle, from implementation to upgrades.

Microsoft Dynamics AX is a powerful ERP solution designed to work the way you do. Gain value quickly with rapid-implementation tools and a simplified licensing and support model that makes it easy to install, get started, or upgrade. And it all comes with the support of one of the largest worldwide partner ecosystems, which includes global systems integrators (GSIs), independent software vendors (ISVs), and value-added resellers (VARs).

Centralise on a single ERP solution

If disparate systems are causing you to lose a grip on your business, it’s time to replace those systems with one solution and gain unified insight into your global organization. The richness of Microsoft Dynamics AX supports your business nearly end to end, with the flexibility for an incremental approach instead of a high-risk big-bang implementation.

Standardise with a two-tier ERP strategy

If you have reached the limitations of your legacy ERP solution, Microsoft Dynamics AX offers a flexible, highly scalable, yet cost-effective solution for your operations, subsidiaries, or divisions while retaining your headquarters’ legacy ERP. Build your dynamic business by using two ERP standards across your entire enterprise.

Choose the solution that fits your needs

The simplified Business Value Licensing Model is based on your organisation’s individual users and their needs. You purchase the exact number of licenses needed—no more, no less—and you have the option to easily add more licenses as your business grows.

Help secure continuing value
