It’s hard to ignore the amount of improvement between Dynamics AX 2009 and Dynamics AX 2012. We have supported Dynamics SL for 18 years and Dynamics GP for 10 years. Dynamics SL has always been the leader in project accounting across the board for the Microsoft options. Dynamics SL has handled multi-company far better than the other Dynamics ERP options.What I see now is Dynamics AX has added tremendous functionality in the project accounting area and multi-company areas. Two improvements I am especially looking forward to that should come soon are a timecard entry screen using HTML5. This is slated for 2013.

An Interview with Microsoft Executive Pat Fitzhenry, Director Global ISV Recruitment and Enablement
Pat Fitzhenry has been a friend of mine since the late 1980’s. Pat has always had a special place in the hearts of the many of us that have loved, sold, and supported Dynamics SL.
