[Column] A Detailed Comparison of Three ERP Systems for Global Companies and Their Implementation Benefits

Creating the future of business from GP/NAV to Dynamics 365.

Upgrade to Next-Generation Cloud Solution Dynamics NAV has been offered as an ERP for small and medium-sized enterprises for many years, but since 2019, the provision of new licenses has ended, and it has been integrated into Dynamics 365 Business Central as a next-generation cloud solution. Dynamics GP continues to be offered as an on-premises solution for small and medium-sized enterprises in the United States, but to flexibly respond to market changes and needs, the flexibility and convenience of cloud solutions are highly valued, and many companies have already upgraded to Dynamics 365 Business Central. Dynamics 365 Business Central inherits all the major functions of Dynamics NAV while adding various benefits from cloud technology, resulting in a more enhanced ERP solution.

• ERP (core system)

Bringing different systems together to achieve seamless integration.

Internal and External System Integration Approach To enhance the usability of Dynamics 365 and ensure secure system operations, it is necessary to integrate various systems and data. This includes traditional methods such as manually importing Excel files, as well as providing programming integration services using APIs (Odata, REST, SOAP, JSON, etc.) in recent times. Additionally, when integrating with external connections such as customers, suppliers, warehouses, and financial institutions, EDI integration is implemented.

• ERP (core system)

Support for global ERP roll-in and roll-out.

Consultants who are well-versed in the requirements of the implementation destination Among ERP systems, particularly for accounting functions, it is necessary to configure settings in accordance with the accounting standards applicable in specific locations. Therefore, implementation consultants need to understand the circumstances of the countries where the system will be deployed. Dynamics 365 offers standard localization for certain countries. Additionally, for countries where standard localization is not provided, our company and our partners have experience implementing Dynamics 365 in various countries, making global standardization with Dynamics 365 possible. Localization for the Japanese market of global companies SYSCOM supports the implementation of Dynamics 365 in various countries, but we have particularly rich experience and knowledge for the Japanese market. Over 60 Microsoft-certified Dynamics 365 consultants based in offices in the United States and Japan provide smooth implementation and ongoing operational support in both Japanese and English, from pre-implementation assessments (PIA) to requirements confirmation and training.

• ERP (core system)

Creating the future of business from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365.

To perform the upgrade from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 more efficiently, we use the recommended methods and upgrade tools provided by Microsoft for upgrading from Dynamics AX 2012 to Dynamics 365. First, we conduct an Upgrade Analysis to measure the scale and impact. Next, we proceed with the code upgrade; however, due to various reasons, the replacement of code cannot be done entirely automatically. Based on our past experiences, we have developed the SYSCOM Code Upgrade Optimizer, which has successfully increased the rate of automatic conversion during the code upgrade. However, changes in the development structure (extensions) and features that are no longer provided by Dynamics 365 must be handled manually.

• ERP (core system)

Pioneering the future of small and medium-sized enterprises with the latest cloud-based ERP.

This is a package that selects the necessary business scope for corporate activities from the features of the business management application Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, which has been built and optimized for small and medium-sized enterprises. Developed independently by SYSCOM GLOBAL SOLUTIONS based on knowledge accumulated over more than 30 years as an IT partner for over 1,000 companies and customer feedback, this package is designed for companies aiming to maximize limited resources and improve operational efficiency when needed. ■ Costs less than one-third of a typical ERP implementation ■ Implementation in as little as 3 months* (*Typical ERP system implementation periods range from six months to several years) ■ Cloud-based, so you can always use the latest features Recommended for: ■ Starting a new company or branch/business ■ Wanting to change the ERP first and then add various functions later Benefits after implementation: ■ Previously unclear or hard-to-see information becomes clear ■ Even with high employee turnover, the system serves as a manual

• ERP (core system)

Connecting the world, accelerating business. Achieving global standardization of ERP with Dynamics 365.

Global Standardization of ERP: With the globalization of business becoming common, integrating and visualizing data from the entire group, including overseas bases, and aligning policies and compliance has become a significant challenge. Using different systems for each country or region makes it difficult to link data with headquarters, hindering real-time understanding of situations and management decisions. To solve these issues and enhance competitiveness, establishing a global management foundation utilizing ERP is essential. - Real-time accounting status of each location - Fraud detection and control at overseas bases - Visualization of management information at a global level - Accelerated management decision-making and risk avoidance Reasons why Microsoft Dynamics 365 is ideal for global standardization of ERP: 1. Integrated platform 2. Global compatibility 3. Cloud-based 4. AI and data analytics 5. Scalability and customization 6. Security and compliance *For more details, please feel free to contact us.*

• ERP (core system)

Streamlining trade and export operations, achieved with SYSCOM's original templates.

The trade template is a document template optimized for conducting trade operations based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management. It supports trade operations such as generating documents related to export activities and streamlining complex import processes. By optimizing and integrating trade operations, it facilitates smooth business processes using Dynamics 365 and supports global and real-time management.

• Logistics and warehouse management systems

What do the members of the back office department consider when choosing or replacing a system? If the same product is handled by both a "manufacturer" and a "distributor," how do you feel about it? "Distributor"? Isn't it cheaper to buy directly from the manufacturer? It's obvious that receiving direct service is better, right? ...Is that really the case? In the materials we are releasing this time, we will explain the benefits of "introducing a distributor." Here’s a preview of the materials: 【If you’re going to choose, you should leverage the power of a distributor that handles the ○○ system!】 【Make the distributor your ○○○○○○○ and use them to the fullest!】 Along with these points, we are offering a "Distributor Evaluation Checklist" that will be your strong ally, free of charge! Please make good use of it.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I am worried about the possibility of colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as pedestrian collisions and vehicle-to-vehicle accidents. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures at various sites and alerts the surrounding area with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *When using the exit warning system, we kindly ask that you arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breaker, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. [Contents Included] ○ Exit Warning System Configuration ○ Comparison Table of Exit Warning Sensors ○ Four Modes ○ Wide Range of Applications ○ Customer Feedback ○ Appearance Diagram / Specifications ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
