Results
The flexibility of Microsoft Dynamics AX made the deployment process easier and reduced the complexity of maintenance. The system allowed for reporting across all schools, which provided valuable input for strategic planning initiatives. Furthermore, industry best practices were utilized to define future supply chain business processes, which were supported in Dynamics AX.
