When it comes to enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, one size does NOT fit all. A midsize professional services firm with one location has significantly different ERP requirements than a larger multi-site, multi-continent manufacturer. Some companies require greater scalability and customization, while others can achieve considerable gains with a simpler, yet powerful out-of-a-box solution, at lower cost and quicker deployment.
Microsoft designed its suite of four Dynamics ERP products – AX, GP, NAV, and SL – with these differences in mind. So, how do you determine which Dynamics solution best fits your company?
Here are some high-level distinctions between the four Microsoft Dynamics products, with the size and types of businesses they’re best suited for. See where your company fits.
Microsoft (Axapta)
- For midsize and larger companies
- Integrates systems across multiple sites, entities, countries, currencies and languages
- Global in reach, yet adaptable to meet the unique functionality, usability compliance requirements for each department or location
Microsoft (Great Plains)
- For growing and midsize organizations
- Robust out-of-the-box functionality for accounting, e-commerce and manufacturing

Microsoft (Navision)

Microsoft (Solomon)

Which scenario reflects your company’s ERP requirements?
