Microsoft began rolling out to consumers on June two the latest version of its high-end ERP application, Dynamics AX 2009.The newest Axapta release (also known as AX 5.0) has a lot of new bells and whistles: A compliance center dashboard that displays all types of key performance indicators (KPIs) in a single watch; time-zone support; integration with all the (stil-not-yet-shipping) SQL Server 2008 database release. But what caught my eye most about AX 2009 when Microsoft lately demo;d it for me was how it really is the showcase app for so lots of several Microsoft technologies.“What Halo is for Xbox, we are for Microsoft;s application platform,” said Kees Hertogh, Director of Product Management for Dynamics AX.AX 2009 includes and/or makes use of every Microsoft technology but the kitchen sink: Like the rest of Microsoft;s Dynamics family, AX now incorporates the Office look-and-feel throughout the application and sports an Office-Ribbon-style action pane.Because it embeds the Windows Workflow engine inside the app,

Office Professional Plus 2010 Keygen, Microsoft-style, is part of the app; AX 2009 embeds SQL Server OLAP cubes,
Office Standard 2010 Keygen, and ships with a set of predefined KPIs.The new ERP app has a back-and-forth button and a breadcrumb bar that would be familiar to anyone who has used Internet Explorer.Assistance for Office Unified Communications Server is integrated directly into the product, so that users will be able to integrate their PBX and VOIP systems directly together with the back-end ERP system. Ditto with Microsoft SharePoint Server, BizTalk Server and Project Server — not surprisingly,

And other vendors/users can create custom Web services that is often consumed by AX 2009. “We use Microsoft;s SOA technologies to expose and consume these services,” Hertogh said. Microsoft has been encouraging developers to integrate its Office Ribbon, its Windows Workflow technology and support for its Excel Services technology into their own custom line-of-business apps. Relatively number of have done so, to date — for lack of tools, fear of becoming too locked into Microsoft;s stack and/or other reasons.Do you think third-party app vendors will start incorporating more Microsoft technologies into their on-premise and/or Web apps,
Office Pro 2010, moving forward? Why or why not?Update: Brandon George, Senior Technical Architect with Sunrise Technologies — who has posted a good Q&A with a couple of crucial Dynamics execs — said he thinks app vendors who “want to stay or become more profitable” would be well served by incorporating more of the Microsoft stack. Agree?
