Microsoft Dynamics AX

ERP Solutions from the leading Microsoft Partner

Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 (formerly Microsoft Axapta) is an adaptable business-management solution that enables you to make business decisions with confidence. Microsoft Dynamics AX works like familiar Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office programs and Microsoft SQL Server. The result: You can build on the investments in systems and software that your company might already use. Plus, the familiar working environment, helps lower learning curves so users can focus less on technology and more on their business goals.

Comprehensive features help automate and streamline financial processes, customer relationship management, business services, HR, management, and supply chain processes. So Microsoft Dynamics AX brings together people, processes, and technologies wherever they are located worldwide. In this way, Microsoft Dynamics AX helps to increase the productivity and effectiveness of your business, helping you to drive business success.

Touchstone, Microsoft Dynamics Number 1 UK partner has experience gained from over 25 successful implementation projects including Speedy Hire, RMD Kwikform, PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Jarvis.
