Motor Trade Association's big Dynamics upgrade

Motor Trade Association has now successfully completed their Version 4 upgrade. With a local release date of around November 2006, the conversion took place successfully in January 2007.

With the latest up to date software, MTA can now utilize all the excellent new features offered in Version 4. Of particular interest is the ability to use SQL2005 features, such as reporting services and analysis services. MTA has stepped up from the 2.5 release of Axapta, through release 3 to the latest 4.1 release.

The MTA upgrade challenge included the upgrade of a series of developments including a purpose developed “Gift Voucher” module, “Subscription Billing,” and a range of developments undertaken to Dynamics CRM to handle their membership records.

Property Management Firm Selects Dynamics AX

One of SolutionPartners' more recent clients manages the property portfolio for a large New Zealand City Council using Dynamics AX.  The operation needed a financial and project accounting system to control and report on the performance of their development projects and substantial property portfolio. Dynamics AX offered a flexible dimensional ledger with superior links to the organisations favourite planning tool, Excel.

The combination of the experienced team at SolutionPartners, and the flexibility and functionality of Dynamics AX, offered a modern, low risk solution that could be implemented in time for the new financial year – starting 6 weeks after the purchase of the software!
