MS Upgrades Dynamics/AX

With two Direct Commerce Order Management Systems now on the Dynamics/AX platform (Junction Solutions and Omnica), it is worth noting that Microsoft has begun shipping Microsoft Dynamics AX 9000, a new release of the vendor's ERP application suite with new globalization functionality and tools for tailoring the applications' interface for specific user roles.

Also offered in Dynamics AX 9000 is a new compliance center that provides a single view of internal controls, KPIs and other information needed to comply with company policies, local legislation in 36 countries, and such regulations as Sarbanes-Oxley. The software also provides more support for companies that operate multiple sites within a single country and across multiple countries.
