Microsoft Dynamics® AX is flexible business management software that provides users with the business tools needed to make educated decisions and produce superior results. Because this business system operates much like other Microsoft programs, users are able to focus on achieving their business goals, rather than learning how to operate a new technology. It successfully combines people, processes and technology throughout the world, resulting in increased productivity and efficiency and driving greater success for your business. Use Microsoft Dynamics AX to automate your financial, customer relationship management (CRM), business services, human resource (HR) and supply chain processes.
