With the Microsoft Dynamics™ AX technology it is painless to tailor and support unique business processes quickly and cost-effectively.

Microsoft Dynamics™ AX Technology (1.1MB)

Microsoft Dynamics™ AX is among the most open and technologically advanced application in the market today. It is a fully object oriented system with full open source to the application/business logic.

Microsoft Dynamics™ AX object server (AOS)
The Microsoft Dynamics™ AX Object Server (AOS) allows for a true multi-tier application with the option of intelligent thin clients or fat clients. The AOS framework allows for scalability when your company grows. The AOS has a built in load balancing and the ability to deliver 24x7 uptime. The AOS technology is scalable and helps enhance the flexibility, performance, and connectivity of your solution.

Microsoft Dynamics™ AX Development tools
IntelliMorph and MorphX Microsoft Dynamics™ AX development technologies that make it surprisingly simple to customize the user interface of Microsoft Dynamics™ AX. Modifications to screens or reports can be done effortlessly with the appropriate privileges set for end users.

•  Hide and display fields on screens
•  Move fields among tab pages
•  Reorganize the order of fields in a grid

With these capabilities, individual users can securely and quickly modify Microsoft Dynamics™ AX to best suit their individual requirements. The MorphX technology automatically rearranges forms and reports to efficiently use allocated space efficiently.

The Application Object Tree (AOT) is managed by technical personnel. It allows for:

•  Changes to a field's properties (i.e., name, length, edit properties, etc.)
•  The addition of fields
•  Adding or changing field groups (i.e., the address field group may contain, street, city,        country, etc).
•  The addition of fields or field groups to forms and reports.

IntelliMorph architecture guarantees that modifications are inherited into the application. Therefore, all forms and reports would automatically inherit any modifications without requiring any special or unusual maintenance.

X++ is the programming language used within Microsoft Dynamics™ AX. X++ is very similar to JAVA and is fully object-oriented and optimized for writing business solutions where you do not have to concentrate on the technical infrastructure.

Managing Upgrades & Customizations
Microsoft Dynamics™ AX is designed with a unique layering structure that controls how updates and modifications are made in the application. The Microsoft Dynamics™ AX objects are stored in the sys layer, which is controlled and maintained by Microsoft Business Solutions. Country-specific, industry-specific and customer-specific modifications are then created and stored in the other layers of the application.

The Microsoft Dynamics™ AX layering technology provides a means to:

•  Effortlessly identify and manage customizations
•  Compare customizations in the product by layer and manage / incorporate new versions
•  Allow users of the product to have customized capabilities

Each layer carries forward the code from the layer below. If special care is not utilized during an implementation of application code you can quickly see that upgrades to code that has been carried forward will never be executed. If not managed properly, you could be upgrading your code four times. This decreases the chances for a successful upgrade. This process can get extremely complicated if our customers have BUS, VAR and CUS layer applications and/or modifications.

Microsoft Office Integration
Microsoft Dynamics™ AX integrates well to Microsoft Office allowing for data to be copied from Microsoft Dynamics™ AX and pasted into other applications, such as Excel. When records are copied from an overview grid, users will be pleased to see that the column heading are also copied. Need more…

Security
Use configuration and security keys to configure Microsoft Dynamics™ AX and control user access to different features. You can grant different rights to each company’s accounts in the same database, as well as grant user access on a more specific and detailed level. In Microsoft Dynamics™ AX there are five different categories to facilitate different levels of user access:

•  No access – the user cannot see these items
•  View - the user can only view items
•  Edit – the user has access to edit items
•  Create – the user can create new items
•  Full control – the user has full access rights to create and delete items

Microsoft Dynamics™ AX offers the ability to control access to specific areas of your data – down to a record level. Record level security may be used with other permissions to limit data access. For example, in addition to separating information by storing it in different logical “companies”, Microsoft Dynamics™ AX record level security gives you the ability to limit a particular user, or a group of users, so that they may only have access to work with a part of the database.
