Why AX is more popular among ERP ecosystem

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is an integral part of modern business processing and data management. For this, business organizations have deployed numerous ERP systems as a competent business intelligence tool – Microsoft Dynamics AX, SAP and many more. Whereas SAP is much older and is more familiar with the ERP market, and has a diverse client base, Microsoft Dynamics AX is much more technologically advanced and comes with much more advantages than previous ERP systems. Therefore, companies choose AX over others for successful planning and data processing. So, how has AX managed to make it big in the ERP ecosystem market?

1. User-friendly

Dynamics AX is extremely easy to use and can be easily adapted to a shifting business. Microsoft programs on your computer will work easily with the AX system, and internal and external transfer of information between companies can be done with no hassle. Contrary to claims by SAP supporters, AX is efficient with international business working with multi-language, multi-time zones and multi-currency conditions. It is equally good with its multiple banking and reporting standards and legislative codes, which promise the required global coverage.

If you have older versions of the Microsoft Dynamics AX, upgrading it is a simple process and comes with more advanced features. Panorama Consulting Solutions, in a current survey, found out that the time taken for implementation was the least in Microsoft Dynamics AX when compared to Oracle and SAP.

Microsoft Dynamics AX believes in promoting a relaxed atmosphere yet maintaining its compliance requirements.

Thus, your organization is more organized and experienced in providing insight for a prompt response.

Microsoft Dynamics helps you to expand business opportunities and modify processes as needed which makes it easier for you to accommodate adaption and growth. Microsoft Dynamics AX can also be deployed on-premises or in a cloud ERP model with a single ERP solution that can be customized as per your needs.
