The latest version of Microsoft's ERP software for upper-midmarket customers is now generally available, Microsoft announced Monday.
Major new components of Dynamics AX 2009 include a centralized "compliance center" that Microsoft has characterized as a "one-stop shop" for compliance-related information, and "self-service" BI, which enables users to access KPIs directly from the client.
"We're really trying to bring BI to the masses," said Kees Hertogh, director of product management.
Also, a workflow engine allows users to set internal rules around common processes, such as setting the maximum cost of a hotel room reimbursement on an employee's expense sheet, Hertogh explained during a product demo.
