New Online Services From Microsoft For ERP

Redmond, Washington-headquartered Microsoft Corporation has announced a set of three new online services built around its ERP platform, Microsoft Dynamics.

The first service, Sites Service, is built on Azure platform and allows users to create websites in the Dynamics app. This is especially useful for customers who are looking for a seamless way to interact with the external environment such as customers (feedback and registration), vendors (request for quote), prospective employees (recruitment), etc. The service provides capabilities such as embedded intelligence and optimization models to provide analytics.

The second service, simply called “Commerce”, links ERP and ecommerce for the users by providing a single interface that hooks up to B2C e-commerce marketplaces, dedicated e-commerce storefronts, etc. The service has an inbuilt shopping cart functionality, enabling customers to interact with the user’s organization from within their own sites.

The third service, called “Payment”, handles payment transactions from Microsoft’s Dynamics ERP interface. This service works with leading payment processing services such as First Data Merchant Services Corporation, and handles all the major credit cards. Microsoft is on a agreement-signing spree with all major payment processing services across Europe and the rest of the world to bolster this particular service.
