Microsoft Dynamics AX (formerly Microsoft Axapta) is an adaptable business-management solution that enables you and your people to make business decisions with confidence. Microsoft Dynamics AX works like familiar Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office programs and Microsoft SQL Server. The result: You can build on the investments in systems and software that your company might already use. Plus, the familiar working environment, helps lower learning curves so users can focus less on technology and more on their business goals.
Illustration: Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 looks and works similar to Microsoft Outlook. This familiarity helps make it easier for your people to learn and the business system. You can define links to "favorite" forms and applications for each user, and provide easy access to them from individual screens.
Comprehensive features help automate and streamline financial, customer relationship, business services, human resources management, and supply chain processes. So Microsoft Dynamics AX brings together people, processes, and technologies wherever they are located worldwide. In this way, Microsoft Dynamics AX helps to increase the productivity and effectiveness of your business, helping you to drive business success.
