In November 2011 Nucleus Research, the leading provider of value-focused research, published the technology value matrix. The Technology Value Matrix evaluates products that have a global presence and provide core functionality for finance and accounting, human resources, manufacturing, supply chain management, project management, and customer relationship management.

 

Microsoft Dynamics AX was also evaluated. Nucleus: “Microsoft Dynamics AX continues to expand its capabilities this year with the release of AX 2012, and in their review of the product Nucleus analysts found functionality enhancements would impact user and IT productivity and provide support for greater complexity such as mixed-mode manufacturing [Nucleus Research l50 – Previewing Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, April 2011]. It also includes new industry functionality for manufacturing that will drive faster deployment time for customers. Improved interoperability with Microsoft Office should drive even greater usability for an application already shipping with role-based user interfaces.”
