More on Enterprise 2.0 and ERP

Well,

Since last October I have been rambling on about Enterprise 2.0, RIA, and how this will change teh face, and operation of ERP, in specific, Dynamics AX. Well I thought I would post a link to a recent ZDnet Blog post about this exact thing.

Enterprice Applications: Pay attention to the User Interface

So if you read this, it's exactly what I have been talking about. How the user interface will be a big change, working via RIA from SharePoint [Meaning Silverlight or Flash web parts] interacting with Office platform further, like Excel web parts, etc. etc. This is a great post, talkikng about how the User Interface will change, and given users the ability to get their job done in less application interfaces. I mean that's the point of this, bringing it all together, for a give role, for the most single point of user interface mashups as that can possibly exist for the information worker.

So let's keep pushing this, and keeping learning, designing and deploying technologies like SharePoint, Office 2007 and beyond, Silverlight, Web Services, OLAP, etc. etc.

Microsoft Dynamics vs SAP ERP End-User Business Productivity Study

[Must have access to PartnerSource for this]

Thought I would post about this very interesting study done by Harvard Business School. Here is the intro:

"In a field study conducted by Keystone Strategy, working under the direction of Dr. Marco Iansiti, the David Sarnoff Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School, we measured how end users of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications describe the impact of Microsoft and SAP applications on their business productivity. This research found that Microsoft Dynamics end users on average rated their experience with Microsoft applications more favorably than SAP users rated their experience with SAP."

I would say the entire Dynamics AX experince is far better on All aspects than SAP hands down, but I guess it helps people realize this more when such a study comes out from a name everyone adores! :-)
