Microsoft has launched the latest generation of its business software in SA, saying that it signals a new chapter in enterprise resource planning (ERP) user productivity by providing an easy-to-use interface and information tailored to specific roles within a company.<\/p>\n
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 was released locally this week. Jumana Helal, who heads up the Dynamics business at Microsoft SA, says AX 2009 aims to help businesses thrive in a competitive global marketplace by controlling costs, managing risk and increasing employee productivity.<\/p>\n
"Our vision of ERP is that it will actually start to prompt its users to take certain actions, instead of merely being a reactive tool that people use to pull weekly reports from," says Helal. <\/p>\n
"Employees using traditional ERP systems have had to wade through inefficient, time-intensive steps – enter transactional data, run reports, analyse reports – before they can do their jobs effectively. Through Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009’s Role Centre, employees from the executive suite to the warehouse have access to role-relevant business intelligence to help them make decisions more efficiently."<\/p>\n
Adcorp CIO, Kobus Pienaar, says the group has a clear road map for rolling out AX technology to all 15 of its subsidiaries. Adcorp has 1700 full-time employees, and administers 70 000 full and part-time staff for its clients at any given time, paying R2,2bn a year in salaries, and processing 70 000 timesheets and 60 000 payslips per week.<\/p>\n
