This is the conclusion of a recent white paper
Manufacturers are under growing pressure to produce the right products at the
right price in the right quantities — while meeting compliance standards and the
evolving demands of customers. Traditionally, ERP has been the domain of large
manufacturers that could deploy and support complex and rigid systems — beyond
the reach of the mid-sized manufacturer. Microsoft and its partners has changed
the equation by providing users with industry expertise, flexibility, role-based user
interfaces, and functionality to provide greater visibility for decision making across
manufacturing and supply chain processes.
Greater visibility enables manufacturers to focus less on the tactical pressures of
the marketplace and more on innovation and strategic growth. Organizations
moving from disparate or traditional paper-based systems are likely to achieve
significant returns from Microsoft Dynamics AX in terms of productivity and
visibility alone. Deployed properly, Microsoft Dynamics AX can deliver a positive
ROI in fewer than 18 months.
