TBKConsult, a European-based technology consulting firm, published this article today about Cincom’s global partnership with Microsoft entitled “The Baan Killer from Cincinnati, Ohio.”
Some highlights:
“Cincom is preparing an attack on a segment of the ERP market, which has so far not been available to Microsoft. Although Dynamics AX has been designed for managing multi-site manufacturing and global supply chains, there is still a long way to go to match the facilities provided by Infor, SAP and Oracle. It is the objective of Cincom to add the required functionality, enabling Dynamics AX to compete effectively with the current market leaders.”
“Choosing the role as ISV is a smart move by Cincom.”
“I think we can congratulate Microsoft. They have been able to win a partner who may be able to open doors to a segment of the ERP market, which so far was hermetically sealed.”
