Avanade has announced a new cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) offering that aims to help companies connect and manage business functions such as financials and operations management, supply chain management, payroll, and human resources. Avanade Cloud ERP provides a fully managed solution in a private cloud computing environment for the delivery of Microsoft Dynamics AX.

“In today’s fast-paced economic climate, companies need the agility to quickly scale to meet changing business requirements while also reducing costs,” said says Bernd Weidenmueller, Vice President, Dynamics AX for Global Technologies and Solutions at Avanade. “Avanade Cloud ERP meets these needs by helping lower risks, minimize costs and reduce maintenance hassles.”

The Avanade Cloud ERP solution is designed for customers who are looking for a complete hosted offering that is fully managed, yet scalable and flexible enough to support changing business needs. Avanade configures and customizes Microsoft Dynamics AX as necessary to meet specific business requirements. The company also provides ongoing user support, application management, pre-production and production environments, and system maintenance services. In addition, Avanade provides extensive administration and monitoring of the customer’s complete solution, enabling earlier detection of issues before they are visible to business users.

“Customers based in Asia Pacific are looking for a complete solution with little upfront investment, which can scale in line with business growth.  By deploying a cloud-based ERP solution, customers can now enjoy low upfront costs combined with the flexibility needed to sustain their business over time,” said Craig Dower, President, Avanade Asia Pacific. “We look forward to working closely with customers in the region to help them realize business value through the deployment of the Avanade Cloud ERP solution.”

“Avanade’s cloud offering for Microsoft Dynamics AX provides customers with an easy way to scale and manage their ERP needs while lowering upfront costs and maintenance burdens,” added Kees Hertogh, director, product management, Microsoft Dynamics AX. “And, with Avanade Cloud ERP, customers will also benefit from Avanade’s proven industry experience and deep Microsoft expertise.”
