The important point that emerges from this ranking is what today every company, large or small, can implement the high-level software, without having to invest significant resources in commercial licenses.

From management, to software for the control of management and enterprise reporting, have been consolidated in the world 'Open Source' of highly efficient solutions that require an investment by the firm only for activities related to advice and training, thus excluding a charge for the licenses in these economic times is a lot.

From my own personal experience I can say that the software implementation as Hyperic HQ for Application Monitoring or for the Squid Proxy Server management, was very convenient from the economic point of view, an optimal and achieve similar goals that we obtained with commercial software.

One of the advantages that these 'Open Source', is allowing companies to evaluate and test the product completely before starting a project specific target an investment budget.

Another element of evaluation, as long advocated, is that the software solution of choice is important but will be increasingly important aspects of counseling and support services companies will give businesses in terms of cultural evolution and strategic.

Even for the management software on the market today on proposals to allow companies to choose whether to implement open source or commercial products, with specific attention to evaluating what it really is more strategic for the company and only later consider aspects of licensing or not.

Open Source Software in fact should not be considered only for the appearance of 'free' license to use, but also compared with commercial software, in an objective comparison of the technical, functional, and overall costs of the project.

Agility - Part II



A confirmation of what I argued last week about the importance of agility of ERP software, I invite you to read this interesting article by Luciano Barelli published in the September 26, 2008 Linea Edp Online http://www.lineaedp.it/

"Dynamics Ax ERP cosmopolitan
With the 2009 version of Microsoft's proposed management companies with offices around the world.

After 21 months of the announcement of version 4.0, Dynamics AX, the Microsoft ERP for medium to large businesses, is named in the 2009 version, updated with 400 new features.
Twenty-one months have passed in vain because in this period Ax, as John says Zoff, marketing director for Microsoft Dynamics Microsoft in Italy, "has gone from a business incubator in what was before version 4.0 to be the growth engine of the 'Dynamics entire sector with an increase in the last 12 months by 62% over the previous year, so that now generates a quarter of sales Ax Dynamics in Italy. "
In other words, Ax has finally taken a precise position on the market in the category of high-end ERP, a step above, so to speak, the other Erp of the house, namely Dynamics Nav.
"With Dynamics Ax we have created a product according to an innovative logic - says John Stifano, director of Microsoft Dynamics division of the Italian branch. - We wanted to create a tailored suit, aiming to have, as a feature differentiating the packages of competitors, the ability to adapt to business processes, and of course the integration with other Microsoft products for business use. "
Street, therefore, best practices that have plastered the Erp historians for many years (because the processes are not stable, as Marc Kerremans of Gartner warns) and open doors for all those features that allow the client to take Ax with minimal customizations, starting with predefined business roles (there are 30) that make virtually every business function are ready an interface tailored to their needs.
100% integration with the Microsoft Office environment provides a considerable saving in terms of training users, and contributes greatly to achieving the goal of the TCO under control is one of the winning strategy for the sale of Redmond.
But perhaps the feature that constitutes the main competitive advantage Dynamics Ax is its ability to naturally support multi-site business facilities also distributed in the countries of emerging interest for Italian companies as the most dynamic countries in Eastern Europe and China.
is this feature that has convinced most of the other Fanni (set-up of commercial vehicles with four foreign subsidiaries and distributors in Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, China and Latin America) and the Nexion (machinery for tire shops, 12 offices in many countries, including China) to install Ax to replace outdated national production of Erp.
Another feature recognized by customers in Dynamics Ax is the adaptability as evidenced by the Mazzucconi (aluminum elements per l'industria automobilistica) che è riuscita a sostituire un Erp personalizzato da anni con una versione standard di Ax con sforzo limitato, integrando e uniformando gli ambienti operativi di tutte le società del gruppo."
