Microsoft Dynamics ERP Selection: GP, AX, NAV, SL, CRM - Notes for Consultant

Microsoft as of late (in September 2005) renamed its ERP item: Great Plains - Microsoft Dynamics GP, Navision - Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Axapta - Microsoft Dynamics AX, Solomon - Microsoft Dynamics SL, Microsoft CRM - Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The thought is most likely pleasant - to bring together future concordance item under Microsoft Dynamics name. There are various conceivable outcomes, however in getting all MRP frameworks consolidated into one Microsoft Dynamics and what ought to be taken as base and what ought to be eliminated. We can not be judges - we will provide for you a few truths for you to look into. This article is arranged as a first passage point to look "in the engine" of Microsoft ERP applications and likely contrast the realities and the opposition: SAP (particularly SAP Business One on the off chance that you are little or fair size organization or global limb of multinational company), Oracle E-Business Suite/Oracle Financials, additionally alluded as Oracle Applications.
o          microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0/Microsoft Great Plains. This ERP was at first architectured by Great Plains Software - Great Plains Dynamics and Great eenterprise hit the business sector in prior and center 1990th. In the event that you recollect those old-great days of IT blast - no one knew which working framework will win: Unix/Solaris, Microsoft Windows, Apple MAC OS. This is the reason - the customary (and spearheading path) for those days was to make a shell, written in C dialect to digest you from Graphical stage. Incredible Plains Dexterity was this shell, programming dialect (sanscript). The second essential thought was to digest Great Plains Dynamics from database stage, however the reflection was carried out on the level of "plan" database stages: Ctree/Faircomm, and Btrive, later on Pervasive SQL 2000, for Microsoft SQL Server 6.5/7.0/2000 Great Plains utilized nuclear put away procs methodology to accelerate database access. These days Microsoft Dynamics GP/Great Plains forms 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, 7.5 are accessible for Ctree and Pervasive, however since form 8.0 Microsoft Great Plains is accessible on MS SQL Server/MSDE stage just. As of now Microsoft Great Plains 9.0 is offered in USA, Latin America, Canada (counting French Canadian adaptation for Quebec), UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and different nations where official dialect is English -, for example, South East Asia, case in point.
o          microsoft Navision/Navision Attain/Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Some ERP examination accept that Microsoft Great Plains Business Solutions (later renamed into Microsoft Business Solutions) purchased Navision Software (est. in 1984). The crucial thoughts of Navision go to its own shell - C/SIDE, database exclusive stage: C/SIDE, and so forth. Navision was intended to be adaptable and develop with your business - from little to upper mid-market. Navision Software had its own promoting arrangements preceding be bought by Microsoft and extended in mainland Europe, UK, USA (contending with Great Plains Software and Solomon Software). At the point when Navision was purchased by Microsoft - Microsoft Business Solutions offered and advanced Navision in East Europe: Russia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and so forth. Besides it attempted Navision in Brazil (in excess of 100 executions - 2005). Navision is more adaptable to restriction challenge (than Microsoft Great Plains) Customer relationship management
o          microsoft Axapta/Microsoft Dynamics AX - it is by all accounts climbing star for Microsoft and it can rival upper ERP/MRP mid-market. Axapta has cutting edge plan and its capacity to extend is still in its structural engineering advanced model (versus Great Plains or Navision - where we see reconciliations with MS Office, Web Fronts/Business Portal/econnect/ecommerce sort of enhancements). In late 2005 we see US and UK MBS VAR movement to sign for Axapta and experts preparing.

o          microsoft Dynamics SL/Microsoft Solomon - this ERP is for venture driven associations.
