Why Dynamics AX Beats Epicor ERP … Every Time
You’ve decided to buy a new ERP system for your manufacturing or distribution business. You’ve narrowed it down to Microsoft Dynamics® AX or Epicor.
How will you decide?
Let’s take a look at the facts.
| 2009 Financial Data | Microsoft | Epicor |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate Stability (Revenue) | $58,437,000,000 | $487,900,000 |
| Financial Health (Gross Margin % of Revenue) | 79.2% | 50.8% |
| Profitability (EBITDA % of Revenue) | 34.8% | 12.4% |
| Investing in the Future (R&D % of Revenue) | 15.4% | 10.8% |
The Bottom Line…
You want software you can rely on; built by a software company you can trust. Most importantly, you need a company that is investing in the future of the software you are buying. If they aren’t willing to significantly invest in their product, neither should you.
What About the Features?
Making a purchasing decision based on a single feature or function is a primary reason why 41% of software implementations fail.* Where you will really notice the difference between the two systems is:
- Speed and Stability – Epicor’s operating speed pales in comparison to Dynamics AX in production
- Advanced Forecasting & Procurement Integration – Epicor does not offer this integration
- Item/Lot Tracking – Epicor requires a custom dashboard, with Dynamics AX its out-of-the-box
- Production Order Variance/Purchase Order Tolerance – don’t bother looking for it in Epicor
- Sales Orders or Sales Quotes Alerts – no visibility into the pipeline with Epicor
