Just My Thoughts,
By
This review is from: Managing Your Supply Chain Using Microsoft Dynamics AX (Paperback)
My thoughts are:
1. The book provides a great introduction to how ERP systems work from a Supply Chain perspective. That said, much of the content is generalized and could apply to any respectable ERP. 2. The style is good - written for non-technical folk. So, this is fine from a general user standpoint but nowhere near the depth required for a serious, experienced developer. 3. The one thing I found seriously lacking was sufficient screenshots. One of the great strenghts of AX is the user-friendliness of the GUI and the ease of navigation. This is well described but pictures would be better. 4. The focus is clearly on supply chain aspects. This is fine - but - this precludes addressing other fundamental modules such as Financials. I feel to get a clear picture the reader really needs to understand the connection between an operational transactions and (say) the General Ledger. To be fair - the focus was stated up front by the author. 5. I must admit, that I did not get a good feel for the underlying business processes in play within AX. However, the descriptions of some of the key principles were good e.g. item dimensions. 6. Overall, the book does what it sets out to do but having played with AX 4.0 I really feel that the book does not do it justice. Having used or evaluated about 20 ERP systems, AX 4.0 provides outstanding value for such a sophisticated and elegantly architectured product. Anyway - there you go.

Excellent Handbook for Dynamics AX,
By Stig (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Managing Your Supply Chain Using Microsoft Dynamics AX (Paperback)
This is a must have book for any company or consultant wishing to use Dynamics AX to control their supply chain.
This will not teach you everything about Dynamics AX. It will supplement and expand the theory gain from existing training material. This will help you turn the theory into a practical ERP solution.

Great book,
By
This review is from: Managing Your Supply Chain Using Microsoft Dynamics AX (Paperback)
This is a great book. It is very well written and meets the objectives of three different groups - prospective users, current users, and consultants - so they can derive great value.
I have done lot of training in Dynamics Ax and often times I find users finding it difficult to come to terms with some of the fundamental concepts. This book does a great job of thoroughly explaining some of the most difficult concepts with right level of content. Another area that I found could be beneficial was the case studies. They allow a reader to picture the material just read in a real life situation which goes a step further than most books or product help. Overall a great book and a handy reference.
