[NF] Microsoft Dynamics

[m***@mbsoftwaresolutions.com]

Anyone here have a GOOD experience with Microsoft Dynamics? I just saw
a former company of mine using it to replace an app I solidified years
ago...and I gotta say, this replacement looks very rough...not
user-friendly and klunky.

Interested in your experience with it.

Dynamics is an ERP that has a tremendous amount of set up that
identifies how things play out in all the different processes that are
happening. An Order my now take 10+ different operations to take it in
status from New to Shipped. It probably has contracts for defining pricing
to a customer on set items and how the price can be increased or decreased
by the system.

What you wrote is probably super customized for 20-30 different screens.
Dynamics has 300+ screens. Dynamics also interacts with CRM which is
either a blessing or a curse.

Did they look to Salesforce as well?

No clue...no communication with dev team for years.

When you go from a customized "glass slipper" app to something like what
I saw, wow...that's a huge bucket of cold water on you as the end-user.
I feel sorry for both end-users and devs.

Wonder how much that cost them to implement that across the enterprise
(which has several hundred franchisee locations)?

I reality it looks different and acts different but over the long haul is a
better step forward for the company. I am sure there is a ton of discounts
for taking it to the cloud and now you no longer have to do on-prem updates
going forward. I am guessing that you can enable SSRS reporting in
addition to localized reports. The ERP will drop a dataset in XML as a
guess and you pick it up for your customized reporting needs like BOL of
CofA.

Is this a multi-location business or is it a single location as of today.
We use LN by Infor and we can set plants to act correctly according to laws
and taxes for Canada or the UK where we have plants as well.

The jump to an ERP takes YEARS to appreciate what you got yourself into.
:) It is not like a new car and you feel great all of a sudden.
