Manage organizational growth with Microsoft Dynamics AX

Scale your business systems rapidly and efficiently to support new users, new locations, and new lines of business

As your organization expands, the ability to rapidly scale your ERP systems to support new users, new locations, and new lines of business—as well as to improve the efficiency of core business processes—is critical. Systems that keep pace with your growing business can minimize growing pains and ensure your company is poised for future success.

Whether you’re supporting the organic growth of your existing business, expanding by adding new locations, or transforming your organization through merger or acquisition, Microsoft Dynamics AX can help you manage a smooth transition as you take your business to the next level. Here’s how:

Ensure smooth integration of merged or newly acquired companies

Rapidly gain visibility into the new or combined entity and/or subsidiaries by integrating all business systems and capturing manual business processes. Aggregating and analyzing data from disparate systems can help deliver operational insight, enabling better sales and production forecasting, materials scheduling, inventory management, and other critical processes.

A familiar, comfortable user interface and intuitive Role Centers help employees quickly become proficient in ERP functionality, reducing downtime and training time, and eliminating resistance to adoption of the new systems.

Quickly add new locations or international offices

Track multiple business units within a single organization as separate profit/loss centers. Scale to support an unlimited number of books for asset management and support different depreciation methods depending on tax authority and financial reporting purposes.

Rapidly add international capabilities and new functionality. Support for multiple languages and currencies, country-specific functionality, and a rich set of multi-site shared services and intercompany functionality make it straightforward to extend Microsoft Dynamics AX with the exact capabilities you need—when and where you need them.

Scale your systems along with your business

Improve the speed of transaction processing and scale your transactional volume by automating business workflows, freeing people for other, more productive work, and reducing overhead costs as you grow.

Respond quickly to new opportunities by integrating discrete budgeting and planning processes into the daily rhythm of the business. High performance systems enable you to run production and planning processes more frequently, so you can react to changes and increase company performance and schedule efficiencies.

Support your growing organization

Maintain appropriate staffing levels and manage future organizational changes, including planned reorganizations and hiring campaigns by automating internal and external recruitment processes such as sourcing jobs, managing recruitment, and hiring new workers—including hiring en masse.

Enable employees to spot trends and respond proactively. More easily perform complex analyses on data involving numerous aspects of the business, so people across the organization can make more confident decisions about high-risk business situations based on data from multiple sources.

Microsoft Business Solutions-Axapta Product Builder

Microsoft^® Business Solutions–Axapta^® Product Builder simplifies and streamlines the process of ordering, planning and producing customized products, helping you to win more orders and increase customer loyalty.

Key Benefits:

- Your customers, vendors and employees can easily configure customized products

- Deliver customized products faster and more cost effectively by reducing the manual work involved in designing, planning and producing them

- An easy to use system that adapts to the needs of your customers and employees

Microsoft Axapta Product Builder enables your employees, as well as your customers, to configure complex products via a Microsoft Windows^® client or over the Web.

Microsoft Axapta is an all-in-one solution that gives you real-time connectivity across your business. The Product Builder is designed to work with other key functional areas in Microsoft Axapta, including the Enterprise Portal, Master Planning, Production, Sales and Purchasing to shorten delivery cycles and optimize product design and production planning.

Efficient configuration of customized products

Both your customers and your employees can use the Product Builder to configure customized products and quickly obtain accurate pricing and delivery dates. Your employees can configure products using the Product Builder within the Microsoft Axapta client. In combination with Microsoft Axapta Enterprise Portal, your customers can configure products through your company Web site to match their unique needs. With Microsoft Axapta Product Builder, your business is open to your customers 24/7.

The Product Builder enables you to create flexible product models which define each product’s configurable options according to variables such as color, size and materials. Products can then be configured which match your customers’ individual requirements based on the options provided in the product models.

When the product has been configured, your customers receive up-to-date pricing and delivery information based on their choices. Because Product Builder links to other modules within Microsoft Axapta, updates to products, prices and lead times are automatically reflected throughout the solution and on your company Web site. Your customers will always be kept up-to-date on the status of the products they want.

The Product Builder provides information on the price and delivery date for configured products

Deliver customized products faster and more cost effectively

Setting up the product models in Microsoft Axapta Product Builder is fast and efficient and reduces the potential for error. Through a series of menus and options, you define the criteria for the product models that are then used to configure products for individual orders.

When products are configured, the bills of material (BOM) and production routes are automatically generated for each sales order line. This results in less manual work required in production planning and scheduling and faster delivery of customized products to your customers. Pricing is also automatically calculated for each item on the configured BOM. And, as the Product Builder is connected in real time to the Master Planning module, delivery dates are calculated immediately with consideration of on-hand inventory and capacity availability.

Changes to product specifications are easily managed within the Product Builder. As BOMs are not pre-defined but are defined as products are configured, changes made to product models are reflected in BOMs created from that point on. This avoids the need to manually change hundreds of BOMs when changes to a product specification are made; you make the change once in the product model and that is all.

Microsoft Business Solutions–Axapta

Come Funziona la Business Intelligence

Una soluzione di Business Intelligence efficace e integrata può migliorare il business guidando il processo decisionale di tutta l'azienda. Per far fede a questa promessa deve essere progettata adattandosi alle esigenze di ogni utente e deve avere la flessibilità necessaria per accogliere tutte le informazioni strutturate e non strutturate che l'azienda utilizza giorno per giorno.

È necessario un metodo per riunire e organizzare tutte le informazioni a disposizione, sia che provengano da e-mail o internet, sia che provengano da una fonte aziendale, una conversazione o altro. Con queste caratteristiche, oltre a SQL Server, avrete una gamma completa di funzionalità, tra cui reporting avanzato, integrazione e strumenti di analisi che consentono di adottare un look ancora più incisivo per il vostro business.

Microsoft offre una gamma completa di soluzioni di Business Intelligence che lavorano insieme per formare una completa, sinergica soluzione che ti aiuti a guidare la tua attività.

Fast 1: Dati di qualità

Una solida soluzione di Business Intelligence è esattamente il dato sul quale le persone fanno affidamento per le proprie scelte di business. SQL Server può riunire tutti i dati, ovunque risiedano. Noto per la sua potenza e la scalabilità, SQL Server offre un motore in grado di memorizzare grandi quantità di informazioni e supporta carichi elevati di query e clustering.

Fast 2: Strumenti per analisi approfondite

Gli utenti finali possono avere a disposizione risorse che li aiutino a prendere decisioni accurate e affidabili. Uno degli strumenti che molte persone già utilizzano, che conoscono e di cui si fidano è Microsoft Office Excel. Con la versione 2007, Microsoft ha effettuato importanti investimenti per la capacità di analizzare, visualizzare e interpretare i dati.

Le nuove funzionalità includono:

Microsoft Office Excel 2007 è stato significativamente migliorato. L'ambiente di analisi con cui gli utenti hanno familiarità ora permette di accedere a più informazioni, funzionalità di analisi più potenti e facili da usare e una semplice connessione ai dati in SQL Server 2008 in un modo più sicuro, intuitivo e gestito.
Excel Services offre un nuovo componente che consente la pubblicazione delle analisi e delle informazioni ottenute in Excel. Con Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, gli utenti possono eseguire la pubblicazione sul Web, in una rete Extranet o Intranet. Questo livello di integrazione e percorsi affidabili aiutano a mantenere l'integrità delle origini dati e assicurano l'uniformità dei dati.

I Risultati

Gli individui hanno accesso a dati di qualità superiore. Possono prendere migliori decisioni e avere la certezza che le loro decisioni siano allineate agli obiettivi aziendali. Le soluzioni Microsoft per la Business Intelligence supportano qualsiasi ambiente aziendale, dalle piccole imprese alle grandi organizzazioni. Crescono con l'espansione delle organizzazioni e rappresentano un piccolo investimento con un grande rendimento, offrendo la certezza di contribuire ad ampliare le attività di business.

Data Warehousing

Troppe organizzazioni non dispongono degli strumenti per integrare, archiviare e accedere in modo efficace ai propri dati. Spesso questo accade perché i dati risiedono i diversi sistemi e mancano di uniformità, rendendo difficile per il personale accedere ai dati per ottenere informazioni significative. Le soluzioni Microsoft per la Business Intelligence possono aiutare a cambiare questa situazione perché offrono una piattaforma di data warehousing scalabile e di fascia enterprise che aiuta a estendere il valore dei dati.

Il data warehousing è essenziale per rendere accessibili i dati aziendali tramite un'origine dati integrata, gestita in modo centrale e affidabile. Le soluzioni Microsoft per la Business Intelligence offrono le consolidate funzionalità di Microsoft SQL Server 2008 e SQL Server 2008 Integration Services che permettono di creare e gestire con facilità data warehouse scalabili, in grado di soddisfare le esigenze anche delle organizzazioni più grandi e complesse.

Reportistica e Analisi

La tua organizzazione raccoglie una grande quantità di dati. Gestirli in modo che tutti accedano alle informazioni giuste al momento giusto è un problema costante. Inoltre, una volta che le persone hanno a disposizione tali dati e informazioni, un problema ancora più grande è aiutarle a farne uso per prendere decisioni migliori. Oltre a un ambiente che consente di collaborare, cercare e gestire dati e documenti, le soluzioni Microsoft per la Business Intelligence offrono strumenti di reporting e analisi che permettono di trasformare raccolte di dati in informazioni significative.

Le soluzioni Microsoft per la Business Intelligence offrono strumenti di reporting, strumenti di analisi e tecnologie in grado di soddisfare le specifiche esigenze delle organizzazioni. È possibile lavorare con le funzionalità ampiamente utilizzate, e oggi migliorate, di Microsoft Office Excel 2007, SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services, SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services, Report Builder, ProClarity Analytics e data mining. Inoltre, per condividere le informazioni con gli altri, le soluzioni Microsoft utilizzano sia le funzionalità per la Business Intelligence integrate in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 che le sue caratteristiche di collaborazione, ricerca e gestione dei documenti. Le soluzioni Microsoft per la Business Intelligence offrono strumenti economici e facili da usare che aiutano ad accedere, comunicare, analizzare e condividere le informazioni a tutti i livelli dell'organizzazione.

Industrial Distribution - Increasing profitability and competitiveness

Industrial Distribution
Increasing profi tability and competitiveness Global competition, shorter product lifecycles, lean economic conditions, increasing customer demands—these and other challenges put enormous pressures on industrial distributors.  The escalating requirements of large customers present a particular challenge. Demands for lower prices, improved packaging, specific labeling, and tight delivery requirements create tough conditions—especially for any distributor still tied to conventional supply chain systems and processes. These
large customers want value-added supply chain services such as collaborative planning and vendor managed inventories. In some cases, the demand for Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) can force industrial distributors to implement new business processes on top of old systems that do not provide adequate support.

The challenges increase substantially with outdated IT systems. Simply put, older, infl exible systems create internal ineffi ciencies that are hard to overcome. It can be diffi cult for you to forecast accurately enough to manage your inventory effectively. Left unresolved, these issues lead to discounts, lost orders, higher inventory costs, and unhappy customers.

But with the right technology, being competitive gets easier. If  you have the right business solutions in place, you can adapt to evolving market and customer demands by improving supply chain operations, effectively managing branch locations and sales staff while keeping costs low, and creating service-related income.

Managing the supply chain Installing a fl exible, robust IT environment is the best way  for you to create an effi cient, smoothly functioning supply chain that manages integrated contracts and delivers comprehensive service-level commitments. That, in turn, can help you increase your profits.

If your company focuses on improving the systems that control supply chain operations, then you’re on the path to obtaining competitive advantages that result from reducing the cost of distribution with systems that support new business requirements and processes.

For example, you can take advantage of capabilities that  facilitate easy and effi cient real-time access to inventory, customer order status, sales, purchasing, and fi nancial information across multiple locations. You can streamline the flow of information across your organization so that every department in the company works with the same data for real-time decision making.

And you can increase on-time delivery with powerful customer / supplier integration, planning tools, and company-wide inventory visibility.

By using effective supply chain management solutions,  industrial distributors can use business automation as a substantial competitive advantage. When coupled with inventory control technology, on-time customer shipments improve, lead times decrease, and there is an increase in inventory turns and accuracy of order-fill rates. These capabilities can help reduce costs drastically and gain a strong position as a low-cost, preferred supplier while
creating additional value to your customers.

Improving branch operations
If you run or are part of a large distribution company, then the
effectiveness of branch operations and your sales staff are top
priorities. With the right business solutions in place, you can make sure that operations beyond company headquarters are running smoothly and contributing to profi tability.

This starts by using technology to help you become a trusted advisor who has a comprehensive view of the customer to assist in customer service coordination. With an integrated accounting and customer relationship management (CRM) solution, you can ensure that the CRM tasks performed by salespeople include important information such as quotations, billings, and shipment deadlines.

You can also tighten delivery times and schedules by  integrating specifi c customer requests into your business software so human errors are reduced or eliminated. And you can coordinate all aspects of a customer’s profi le when multiple personnel are communicating to that customer on a regular basis.

Increasing profi tability With collaborative, tightly integrated software and systems  in place, there is greater potential for bigger profits. Industrial distributors can easily identify and eliminate areas of wasted activity because they no longer have to deal with separate “islands” of information that require extra resources to manage or that operate outside of a global view of company operations. It is easier to support and take
advantage of Automated Data Collection (ADC) systems to lower costs—while improving customer service.

And with integrated systems, industrial distributors have smart  knowledge management tools at their disposal to identify opportunities for new products and services that can be offered to customers most likely to need them.
