Merit Solutions is proud to be sponsoring and presenting at the Microsoft Dynamics AX Industry Summit next week in Phoenix, Arizona. During the event, Merit Solutions will be on-stage presenting two topics:

Selling to Mid-Market Pharmaceuticals - Wednesday, 2:30 - 3:30pm in the Mesquite Room

During this presentation, Merit Solutions CEO Bill Burke will discuss selling the Microsoft platform into the mid-market pharmaceutical space. After discussing the target market (who, what, where), we will present current business drivers, compliance requirements, and specific terminology for pharmaceutical executives. We will wrap up by presenting the Microsoft platform solution, combining pharmaceutical Quality + ERP + Document Management capabilities in one integrated, cost-effective solution.

ISV Showcase - MAXLife for Pharmaceuticals - Thursday, 9-10am in the Mesquite Room

During this session, we will present MAXLife - our Life Sciences software solution based on Microsoft Dynamics AX and Microsoft SharePoint. MAXLife is a complete pharmaceutical ERP, quality management, and controlled document management solution. With MAXLife, you can track product quality, proactively see and respond to manufacturing variability, meet GMPs, Sarbanes Oxley, and 21 CFR Part 11 and Part 820 requirements, and simplify computer systems validation.

Please let us know if you are attending the Summit and would like to schedule a meeting with Merit Solutions CEO, Bill Burke, or Director, Mike AuBuchon.

If you cannot attend but are interested in a copy of either presentation, please reply below or send an email to info@meritsolutions.com! Otherwise, we hope to see you next week!

Last month Microsoft announced the launch of the Microsoft Dynamics Business Analyzer for Windows 8 – the first Windows 8 App available for Microsoft Dynamics ERP clients.

The Microsoft Dynamics Business Analyzer displays business intelligence (BI) information from your Microsoft Dynamics ERP solution, including Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013, and Microsoft Dynamics SL 2011 FP1. Users of the Microsoft Dynamics Business Analyzer can display reports from their ERP solution, interact with the reports using a variety of actions (such as copy, edit, view, and refresh), and open Microsoft Lync ( for Windows 8 ) directly from a report to initiate a conversation with someone about the report. This can all be done from any of your Windows 8 devices!

The launch of this new app is a milestone in the road to enterprise business mobility for Windows 8 and Microsoft Dynamics ERP clients. In today’s increasingly global and interconnected world, customers need to have quick, easy access to their business data – and they need to be able to access it from a variety of devices. The Microsoft Dynamics Business Analyzer for Windows 8 is the first of what is expected to be even more enterprise business mobility apps to deliver this value to clients.

Merit Solutions is honored to have played a significant contributing role in the development of the Microsoft Dynamics Business Analyzer app. While this milestone signifies a great achievement for Microsoft and its clients, it also represents Merit Solutions’ ability to build and deploy innovative, leading edge Windows 8 and mobility solutions that can help clients get more value out of their Microsoft Dynamics ERP investments.

The Microsoft Dynamics Business Analyzer is free and available for download from Microsoft on the Windows Store: Microsoft Dynamics Business Analyzer for Windows 8. We encourage everyone to go download and use the app - then rate it and let us know what you think!
