localization status in Brazil highlights for Multinational corporation IT
department, launching operations on the Brazilian market
Microsoft Business Solutions in Sao Paulo is in the launching mode for just
localized Axapta, which tends to become new rising star among Microsoft Dynamics
family of products. Navision was localized earlier and have numerous and growing
number of implementations as well. Microsoft CRM is doubling user licenses
number as a expansion pattern for the last three years, we see very good trend
for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 expansion in Brazil. Microsoft Dynamics GP is not
supported by MBS in Brazil, however you can rely on Alba Spectrum support across
the country, we also provide international support in Latin America and
USA/Canada from our Houston location. Solomon has limited number of
installations. Also Microsoft Dynamics should be compared with its competition:
Oracle E-Business Suite is traditionally strong, however it is typical for
larger enterprises, plus SAP just introduced SAP Business One and it niche is
for mid-size and smaller businesses, but we also recommend SAP B1 in
spoke-and-hub model, where SB1 (spoke) integrates into mySAP (hub). Lets take a
look at Microsoft Dynamics specifics:
Future Orientation. Microsoft advertises Microsoft Dynamics as Financial, HR,
Supply Chain, Manufacturing, etc. solution for your business, where the size of
the business is not emphasized. At this time Microsoft Dynamics consists of
several MRP applications, mentioned above. If your business is small/mid-size
in the USA you typically implement Microsoft Dynamics GP/Great Plains. In Brazil
this role was played by Microsoft Navision and currently MBS is promoting
AX./Microsoft Dynamics AX with some pre-settings to reduce implementation time
and simplify the solution. To stick to the traditional Axapta market niche it
is for upper mid-size and large corporate clients with very strong positions in
Europe, LATAM, Brazil, USA and Worldwide
Microsoft Dynamics Technology highlights. Navision, Axapta, Great Plains have
their native language and initial programming environment: C/SIDE, MorphX/X++
and Great Plains Dexterity respectively. Microsoft Dynamics (former Microsoft
Project Green) moves them toward Microsoft .Net platform: Microsoft SQL Server,
C#, VB.Net programming in Microsoft Visual Studio environment. At this time -
.Net nature shows up in Microsoft Business Portal, plus Microsoft Dynamics CRM
(future CRM front end for Microsoft Dynamics) is .Net application, utilizing
Microsoft Active Directory, MS Exchange, MS Sharepoint, etc.
Microsoft Dynamics Customization & Integration. In the Microsoft World the
conception of ERP platform, open for interoperability is popular you can
consider Microsoft Dynamics as initial base for your business needs, open for
customization as well as advanced and even cross-platform integration: Oracle,
IBM DBII, Progress, etc.
Localization Dilemma. Even if we are talking that specific international ERP
is localized for Brazil some compromises should still be expected the
typical one is Payroll module. Payroll localization is typically not the first
priority, due to the fact that multiple Brazilian Payroll solutions are
available historically and could be integrated into ERP on the GL transactions
level
Again Axapta. Yes, we believe that Axapta has excellent potential to be sold
on its advanced three-tier architecture it should be considered the most
resent and future oriented among Microsoft Dynamics ERP product family.
