Microsoft Dynamics AX vs. SAP - part 2

Most employees who work for midmarket companies use Microsoft Outlook to read and respond to email, track scheduled appointments and organize contacts. How many of these employees have had formal training in Outlook? The answer is very few. Outlook is an intuitive tool that is easy to understand and use. How much would a company benefit if its ERP application was as intuitive as Outlook? Again, the answer is obvious.
Microsoft Dynamics AX has been designed to work like software that employees are very familiar with -- Microsoft Office. Dynamics AX also provides a seamless Microsoft user experience for handling both structured (Microsoft Dynamics) and unstructured (Microsoft Office) data. Microsoft has provided a seamless environment for accessing ERP data within the Office applications. This capability is not an additional product that needs to be purchased. It is inherent in the base Dynamics AX application.
One of the biggest reasons ERP implementations fail is the inability to get employees to adopt the system. The familiar user interface of Dynamics AX increases the user acceptance rate. The tight integration between Dynamics AX and Microsoft Office also helps increase the productivity of employees throughout your business in less time. Employees can take advantage of the innovations built into Dynamics AX to use the best tool for the task at hand. For employees, that means software that works the way they do. For the business, that can mean an accelerated return on your investment, and a business that's managed more smoothly, more effectively and more profitably.
