Microsoft has introduced into the market software that integrates all functions of a business.
The software is designed to meet a diverse range of business requirements of the business chain; from the retailer to manufacturer.
The Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 is designed to offer innovative user experience and technology aimed at providing simplified access to relevant information through a wide range of applications companies can chose from.
"The software’s visibility and easy to use feature, which enables businesses to have control of managerial and financial point of view is essential for business survival," said Mr Paul Jackson, the managing director of AkiliAfrica.
"In manufacturing sector for example, the software can boost operational efficiency and effectively manage production processes through flexible processes and integrated information systems specifically tailored for the individual employee," he added.
User features
Microsoft Dynamics, the AkiliAfrica MD said, provides simplified role-tailored access to information to the end user, which eventually boosts reporting and collaboration in an organisation.
He said people drive business results and when one amplifies their impact, one can achieve greater results.
Mr Louis Otieno, the General Manager for Microsoft East and Southern Africa, said the software would improve efficiency and increase productivity.
"The survival of companies will depend largely on their ability to come out of the recession either stronger or weaker," he said.
