Since its introduction, Microsoft’s Dynamics ERP platform, which includes Dynamics NAV and Dynamics GP, has continued to grow in terms of capabilities and market share, allowing both mid and large-sized organizations to remotely manage their operations at a cost that is generally less than what other ERP packages provide. Now with the availability of running Dynamics on the Azure cloud platform, organizations can take advantage of both for a completely integrated package that will meet their ERP needs.
Cloud Computing is the Future
The introduction of cloud computing has allowed many organizations to change how they look at IT. They are now able to reduce their costs by migrating their infrastructure, such as their software, network resources and storage to the cloud.
It is only natural that Dynamics belongs in the cloud and it has now been available for several years. Now that Microsoft offers support for running Dynamics on Azure’s cloud platform, organizations can reap the benefits of a single solution that saves money while providing them with the full functionality and capability of Dynamics.
Benefits of Working in the Cloud
Using Microsoft Azure to host Dynamics ERP provides several benefits, including:
1. Azure allows for the easy integration of other applications with Dynamics ERP Software
Because both are Microsoft products, they work well together and play nice with other applications, including Office 365, making reporting and other functions run smoothly. Running applications and a platform from a single company make it easier to perform and implement updates and patches.
2. Reduces operating costs by using the Azure platform
Costs for software, equipment, licensing and maintenance are reduced as major components such as storage, network and computing are part of the Azure platform. The cloud provider provides management of all.
3. Allows for more flexibility
Instead of dealing with setting up test/dev environments on hardware locally, the Azure model allows for new configurations without affecting production. With the cloud, organizations can scale resources and integrate new systems as needed.
4. Host multiple cloud-ready applications and infrastructure in one place
The Azure cloud platform is capable of hosting more than just Dynamics. Entire environments can be added that simplify operations and allow for resource sharing across applications.
