It was originally developed by Damgaard Data A/S as Axapta in Denmark before Damgaard was merged with Navision Software A/S in 2000, the combined company, initially NavisionDamgaard, later Navision A/S then ultimately acquired by Microsoft Corp. in summer 2002. It was initially released in March 1998 in the Danish and U.S. markets. Today, it is available and supported in 45 languages in most of the world, with a rapidly expanding customer, partner and solutions base and is rapidly becoming one of the major players in the ERP global market. Its primary strengths are ease of use and customization, Internationalization and leading edge technology. All of the re-sellers are partners of Microsoft Business Solutions . Recently, Microsoft launched a new program (the Industry Builder Initiative (IBI)) through which it will offer front-line customer support for the applications of select partners - ISVs ( Independent Software Vendor s) - building add-ons and verticals for Axapta. Custom Axapta development and modification is done via its own IDE MorphX that contains various tools such as a Debugger , code analyzer, and query interface. This development environment resides in the same Client application that a normal day-to-day user would access thus allowing development to take place on any instance of the client. The development language used in Axapta is X++ . Simply put, Axapta is primarily a Tier II product with the functionalitites of Tier I products such as SAP NetWeaver , PeopleSoft , etc. Microsoft is currently developing the latest version (Version 4) in Vedbæk, Denmark. Though this has caused much dissension within Microsoft, the Danes are not likely to let such a huge facility be taken away without a fight. It is expected that Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 will be released in mid 2006. EXTERNAL LINKS |
