Why switch to Microsoft Dynamics AX from Oracle? Three
great reasons
Making the decision to change your company's financial
management system is a process that requires research and
foresight. Here are three top reasons why businesses using Oracle
applications, including PeopleSoft, JD Edwards and E-Business Suite
solutions, have decided to make the switch to Microsoft
Dynamics.
Microsoft Dynamics AX can scale with your business
Microsoft Dynamics AX provides affordable scalability for your
growing businesses. With benchmarked performance up to 1,000 users
and beyond and rich functionality across financials, supply chain
management and customer relationship management, you can be
confident in the ability of Microsoft Dynamics to meet the needs of
your growing business. Integrate your Microsoft Dynamics business
management solution with the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database and
analytics program. Enjoy enterprise-level reporting, flexible
decision-making support and timely, relevant business insight at a
low cost with significantly high usability and flexibility.
Microsoft Dynamics AX provides a low cost of ownership
Microsoft Dynamics AX is engineered to cost-effectively support
the changing requirements that are frequently necessary for
customers to adapt, grow, and maintain a competitive edge in their
business. Independent research has demonstrated that, on the whole,
Microsoft Dynamics offers a higher return on investment (ROI) and
lower overall costs than other major competitive offerings.
Microsoft Dynamics licensing is designed to be cost-effective. It
is based on concurrent users versus named users and has no imposed
user minimum or maximum so it evolves with you for the life of your
business.
Microsoft offers an industry-leading vertical partner
ecosystem
Microsoft is in a position to deliver vertical solutions to
hundreds of different industries on a local basis; it can bring
these solutions to market on a local level. Microsoft's Industry
Builder Initiative (IBI) offers solutions designed to meet the
needs of specific industries. It can provides the functionality
customers need without the overhead costs buried in solutions that
try to serve all industries from the same code-base and use
templates to hide some of this complexity.
Questions to ask Oracle before purchasing an Oracle
solution
- What does a typical Oracle support team look like? How many
administrators? How many developers? How many support
personnel?
- Does your proposal include the use of an Oracle Accelerator for
streamlined implementation? What specifics actually govern this
offer? How will the cost and time of implementation be affected if
I want the solution modified to meet my unique business
practices?
- Will I have to conform my business to match Oracle's ideas of
how to run a business in order to get the benefits of the rapid
implementation? How am I able to realize a competitive edge in my
business processes if I am just taking what is given?
- Do I have to license named users instead of concurrent users or
user sessions? What is the difference and what do you see as the
pros and cons of each?
