This reseller characterized the discussion by Microsoft execs this way: "What has held AX back was lack of functionality. Every single piece that isin the financials in GP, we need in AX." The conclusion was that Microsoft feels that AX now matches the financial functionality in GP. With the new release AX has "everything that GP has and all of the traditional AX stuff." That sentiment meant discussions centered on how to increase AX revenue with a little talk about NAV. While there’s been no lack of people believing AX is the favored program “They were much more vocal about it to this group,” the reseller said.
AX NOW MATCHES GP?
With the launch of Dynamics AX 2012 that product has matched the functionality that Dynamic GP has in its financials, according to the Microsoft view. And despite what Microsoft has said about not having a favorite product in its accounting software line, executives are starting to hint more openly that AX is the horse Microsoft plans to ride. That was the message delivered at the recent outing of the Inner Circle in St. Andrews Scotland, according to a reseller who attended the event.
