An ERP system provides the relevant information your enterprise needs to deliver strategic and data-driven insights to relevant departments, including operations.
The application supports and connects all business processes and departments, from procurement and production to logistics, business administration and sales.
By hosting the ERP solution in the cloud, your business operations can further benefit from the flexibility, scalability and integration a cloud-based app offers compared to the more traditional setup.
Strategix looks at the extra benefits a cloud-based ERP solution such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations, can deliver to improve your business’s bottom line.
Flexible Architecture
When it comes to operations, scalability is key.
A SaaS ERP solution can accommodate growth and adapt your ERP processes accordingly, without having to purchase additional hardware to host your expanding data or replace your software altogether.
Hosted in the cloud, Dynamics 365 for Operations can be scaled up if needed to include regional and global operations.
Its flexibility allows your enterprise to manage growth and control operations better.
Intelligent Interface
The business intelligence aspect of an ERP solution and its ability to analyse through massive data and deliver key performance indicators based on the data.
More importantly, a cloud-based ERP solution has the advantage of gathering and analysing big data without the need for additional hardware setup and processing power, which can become a cost burden over long-term.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations enables processes and departments to ‘talk’ to each other, saving substantial time and costs with admin and operations.
Data only has to be entered once and the cloud-based solution will analyse and respond to the input information accordingly – fast and accurate.
All-around Integration
An ERP solution hosted in the cloud can easily be integrated with your existing systems and scaled up to include global operations as and when required.
Dynamics 365 for Operations, previously known as Microsoft Dynamics AX, is part of the extensive Microsoft Dynamics 365 Enterprise edition.
Furthermore, it not only integrates with other Dynamics 365 apps such as Financials, Sales or Customer Service to name a few, it also connects with everyday productivity tool Office 365 to deliver a complete experience across all channels.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations is a SaaS solution that brings together a complete set of ERP functionality including financials, demand planning, procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, distribution, services industries, public sector and retail.
