If you’re an end user trying to get IT to run a
report in any of the Microsoft Dynamics products you’re familiar with the
drill: Ask IT to run the report. Wait for IT to run the report. And wait. And
wait. And wait.

And it’s not so great on the other side of the
fence, either. If you’re in the IT department, you typically have to devote
precious resources to respond to these requests and, often it ends it turns
into a moving target.

Large organizations often realize that some ERP
solutions are just too complex to adapt to the unique requirements of their
smaller, local entities. But Microsoft believes that  Dynamics AX offers these companies a viable
alternative that lets them easily customize their solutions to meet the specific
requirements of their smaller subsidiaries, implement vertical functionality,

Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 offers an integrated ERP system for
chemical manufacturers by providing solutions to their common and unique requirements.  Many of these solutions have been recently
introduced with the addition of standard functionality for process
manufacturing, so that Dynamics AX should be considered in the short list for
those firms making an ERP selection decision. 
In order to determine whether chemical manufacturers were actually
