Microsoft Dynamics AX Customisation and Development – expert Development services that create 100% fit
Why bother customising Microsoft Dynamics AX at all?
You probably already know that
Microsoft Dynamics AX is one of the most powerful, adaptable business management systems on the market. So, if you’ve already invested in the software, you might be wondering why you’d need to invest more in customising it.
The truth is that out of the box, not even the most flexible business software will provide 100% fit for a company’s needs. Well designed standard software might meet 90% of the needs of 90% of organisations... but what about that other 10%?
It’s really about business efficiency
For some executives, a 90% fit is good enough. After all, you can’t have everything, right? Can’t your people just change what they do to fit the software and work around the gap?
Unfortunately, leaving a gap between what your business needs and what the software will do can create unexpected issues. For example:
- Lost time = lost money: the more closely your software fits your business processes, the more efficiently your people can work. Perhaps one of your processes demands that employees enter information across two (or more) different screens. How much time could they save if they had a single screen for the whole process?
- Reduced adoption = reduced ROI: the more you make employees do things differently from what they’re used to, the less likely they are to do them. Business software can only improve efficiency if your people use it, so changing the software to fit your processes is more efficient than changing your processes to fit the software.
- Increased Integration = increased efficiency: one of Dynamics AX’s strengths is its ability to integrate with other software (e.g. Microsoft Office applications like Word and Excel, or third party products). Setting up those integrations to fit your business needs involves customisation and development.
Of course Dynamics AX out of the box is a complex product: complex enough that modifying it requires Microsoft-certified expertise. So you know that if you’re going to customise it, you have to find Microsoft-qualified developers who can do it right.
