[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.
