Axapta Global Economy ERP implementation notes - Alba Spectrum

The evolution of ERP/MRP comes together with the change inbusiness processes and new businesses models emerging. If we look at the companies,going public in .com era and now, we could recognize very unusual business models,such as Google, which is neither really paid services, nor advertising media. Looking at the other companies, such as eBay, Amazon.com  we could say that theshift for the ERP is made from traditional business processes, such asmanufacturing, customer service, project management, accounting to more genericprocesses, such as Supply Chain Management (SCM), where you canÂ't identify standard functionality  it is mixture of warehouse management, EDI and extranetfor your business vendors and customers, barcoding, consignment, shipping &receiving, etc. Considering these trends, ERP design should be really revised andgeared toward the future change and systems integration, customization andinteroperability Late 1980th  this was the time when ERP functionality was kind of agreed upon:Finance, Discrete or Process Manufacturing, Sales Order Processing, AccountsPayable, etc. The real challenge was in surviving through computer hardware,operating systems and database platform battles of 1990th. We see multiple majorERP products currently on the market, architectured in this period: Microsoft GreatPlains/Dynamics GP is very good example. This product architecture is Great PlainsDexterity, which had hardware, OS and DB independence in its design  C programminglanguage was a hope and Dexterity is a shell, written in C. In 1990th there was aconception of rich functionality MRP (Oracle, SAP, PeopleSoft) and standardfunctionality ERP  mid-market  Great Plains, Solomon, Navision, etc. Global Market.

Being designed at the end of XX century withthe three-tier model and supporting such modern technologies as Unicode (Chinese,Japanese languages), MS SQL Server, XML Web Services, having CRM module and beinglocalized for over 30 nations. Axapta is targeted to upper mid-size and largecorporate markets, plus it has excellent positions to automate worldwide operationsfor multinational corporation. Brazil. Microsoft Business Solutions in Sao Paulo has Axapta as a rising star towin over Brazilian market. In our opinion, Brazilian agriculture and foodprocessing/export businesses might be in the best synergy, plus telecommunications,franchisin g network, services. Multinational corporations are also in the loop  Microsoft Dynamics AX is Microsoft answer to Oracle e-Business Suite and SAP mySAP MarphX/X++ versus C#.
