Creating Your Own Product Information Management Processes With Cases and Project Management
Although Dynamics AX is not a complete New Product Development (NPD) and formulation system, as it does not calculate nutritional details or perform least cost formulation, it does allow you to manage all of your product, costs, formulations, nutritional details, and more. Additionally, it has a lot of capabilities to help you streamline management of the NPD/New Product Introduction (NPI) process. In this presentation, we will show an example of how you can use Cases, Workflow, and Projects within Dynamics AX to manage the entire NPD/NPI process.

Using Cases To Do Almost Anything Your Dynamics AX Doesn't Do
Step right up and dare to experience for yourself the one, the only, the world's largest, strongest tool ever! It walks, it talks, it crawls on its belly!!! --- We're talking about Cases within Dynamics AX, of course. They are the 'Swiss Army knife' of Dynamics AX functionality, and if there is something you want to track that isn't tracked already, you can probably do it through Cases. With Cases you can track incidents, record quality results, track projects, and even create custom workflows to track whether Cases are followed up upon in a timely manner. Cases are accessible virtually everywhere within Dynamics AX; you practically can't open up a screen without seeing them. In this presentation, we will show you how to configure Cases and will walk through a few examples of how you can use them right now within your implementation of Dynamics AX.

Disrupt the Status Quo in Dynamics AX Implementations

Does your code work on dev, but not on prod? Do you often spend late-nights and weekends attempting to implement AX? Or does your organization simply lack the resources?

Whether your AX implementation is local or global, the challenge remains the same—deploying safely in the least amount of time. However, as organizations continue to inherit legacy ERP systems through acquisitions, implementations have become more complex, extending deadlines and increasing downtime risk. Besides time and resources, the lack of available and accurate dev environments has become a major bottleneck. Unfortunately, many organizations accept the limitation because “it’s just the way things are always done”.

In this session, you will be provided with the definitive guide to “disrupting” the status quo in AX implementations. You will learn to incorporate agile development (DevOps), ensure code merges and software testing, and create production-accurate dev environments as needed. Throughout the session, experienced technologists will share best practices, lessons learned, and tools that have helped them along the way.
