Microsoft Dynamics AX (Axapta)
When my cousin mentioned to me last week about Microsoft's new ERP product called Microsoft Dynamics AX, formerly known as Axapta, I got curious to know more about it and this is what I found:
MS Dynamics AX is mainly targeted at SMBs (Small & Medium Size Businesses) and focuses on manufacturing and the e-business sectors. The USP for this product, in my opinion, would be the ability to leverage existing MS resources in the organization such as Excel and MS-SQL Server. Since the product GUI's look and feel is consistent with other MS-Office products, it could result in a flatter learning curve. A language called X++, similar to C++ and Java, is used to program the product. MS has provided dotnet integration into the language as an attraction.
