Microsoft has announced the general availability of Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0, which the company claims is an adaptable, global business-management solution that works like and with familiar Microsoft software and helps organizations gain a competitive advantage. Through the use of Web services and other enhancements, the company is touting the new release as being capable of delivering a complete enterprise resource planning (ERP) package to automate and streamline processes across a company’s financials, customer relationships, business services, human resources and the supply chain.
"Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 is a composite application, using Web services to span the boundaries between structured and unstructured data from different sources and tying together formal processes with ad hoc workflows. This capability enables Microsoft Dynamics AX to work across multiple systems to show a complete view of a customer’s business processes, enabling more confident and informed decision-making by users.", said Ray Ozzie, Microsoft’s chief technical office, at a late night keynote address at the TechEd 2006 conference.
The new features in Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0, including radio frequency identification (RFID) and Web services, are aimed at allowing users to create a seamless path from initial trading partner compliance to an RFID-enabled supply chain as well as to facilitate trading controls and automate subcontracting. A new service-management functionality automates manufacturing service processes, enabling scheduling of servicing of complex machines and equipment on a periodic or call-initiated basis.
Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 is now available in North America and is expected to be localized and launched in Europe and Asia-Pacific local markets later in the year.
