I attended the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012* ‘Dynamics Businesses’ event at the Toronto Congress Centre earlier today.
In addition to Microsoft representatives, the event featured Roger L. Martin, the dean of Rotman School Of Management, and Mario Bartolozzi, Vice President of Information Systems at LS Travel Retail.
Here are several things that the speakers noted:
- Successful companies do a number of things exceedingly well. It is not just one thing that a company does well. If it were only one thing it would be copied and replicated. The secret to the success of industry leaders is that they do a system of processes exceptionally well.
- Microsoft asserts that Dynamics AX 2012 is designed to for Flexibility, Diversity (of business), Simplicity (of processes, reduce redundancy and automate) and Empowerment (of employees), which the company believes is what successful modern businesses need to cover.
- Incidentally, Martin insisted that, unlike any other business on the planet, the software business is infinite and has no limit. Software can fit anywhere and do anything and the sky is the limit.
