Microsoft Dynamics Business Analyzer for Windows 8

Monday, February 4. 2013

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!

Pharmaceutical Manufacturer Chooses MAXLife for Microsoft Dynamics AX

Wednesday, April 25. 2012
Merit Solutions, a leading provider of Life Sciences ERP software solutions, is proud to announce today that Ivancic i sinovi, a partner of Sopharma, has selected Merit Solutions’ MAXLife for Microsoft Dynamics AX to reduce costs and improve quality control. Ivancic i sinovi chose MAXLife from Merit Solutions because of our proven industry experience - and because MAXLife is a Certified for Microsoft Dynamics AX (CfMD) tested solution.

Ivancic i sinovi was founded in 1991 and manufactures and markets pharmaceutical medicines and dietary products - both in capsules and powder forms. The desire to provide consumers with high quality products, created by the latest in medical technologies, in packaging of contemporary design, yet available to everyone, inspired the idea to begin manufacturing.

Prior to selecting Merit Solutions’ MAXLife with Microsoft Dynamics AX, Ivancic i sinovi used a homegrown system that made it difficult to manage business processes across the organization. The system was not integrated with real-time information, which meant executives and managers were often making decisions based on outdated and incorrect data. Ivancic i sinovi also had industry-specific requirements that would not be met with an out-of-the-box solution. With their homegrown system, they could not track or understand the costs associated with quality control processes, which were time-consuming and people-intensive, and resulted in lost productivity, efficiency, and higher costs. And, with expansion and growth plans, the system could not support the expansion of a production plant.

For these reasons, Ivancic i sinovi began looking for a pharmaceutical quality management solution. In the end, Ivancic i sinovi chose Merit Solutions’ MAXLife with Microsoft Dynamics AX because it is simple to use and deploy, is a comprehensive ERP solution that connects all departments with real-time information, and gives them the flexibility to grow, expand, and adapt as needed.

With MAXLife, Ivancic i sinovi will utilize key quality control and compliance management features specific to pharmaceutical manufacturing. Quality incident and non-conformance management processes will be streamlined and automated with MAXLife’s Corrective Action Preventive Action (CAPA) capabilities, enabling Ivancic i sinovi to correct and prevent issues, measure outcomes, and continuously monitor the system. Ivancic i sinovi will also be able to track and analyze all of their costs related to performing quality processes with Cost of Quality Management, enabling them to reduce the cost of quality while maintaining product safety.

“We’re extremely happy that Ivancic i sinovi has chosen MAXLife from Merit Solutions to reduce costs, improve quality, and support their business growth,” commented Petar Miljkovic, Director - Europe, Merit Solutions. “With MAXLife, the company can continue providing high quality, innovative pharmaceutical products while reducing costs, improving efficiency and productivity, and providing safe products to their customers.”

About Merit Solutions:

Merit Solutions is a multinational organization that provides IT services and software solutions to help companies improve their business success. Our industry-specific solutions, MAXFood and MAXLife, along with our core Microsoft Dynamics ERP and SharePoint offerings, enable organizations to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve service - while maintaining profitable growth!

Food Recall Management for Microsoft Dynamics AX

Thursday, December 22. 2011

Customer demands and regulatory requirements relating to food safety are accelerating every day. The bar is going up and everyone in the industry will soon be scrambling to find and implement systems that satisfy these new demands... that is, if they’re not already panicking!

One new requirement is the Food Safety Modernization Act signed by President Obama in January of 2011, which mandates that all food companies must have Food Safety Management systems in place, including document control, HACCP and recall. This is the biggest change to Food Safety legislation in over 60 years.

Another is The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), which is a collaboration between some of the world's leading food safety experts from retailer, manufacturer and food service companies, as well as service providers associated with the food supply chain. It is coordinated by The Consumer Goods Forum, the only independent global network for consumer goods retailers and manufacturers worldwide. It serves the CEOs and senior management teams of nearly 400 members, in over 150 countries. Most major retailers mandate suppliers follow one of the 8 protocols supported by GFSI, which includes SQF and variants of ISO22000. These standards are very similar to the FSMA recently set by the FDA.

The bottom line: you don’t want to be one of the food manufacturers caught without adequate Food Safety and Food Recall ERP systems!

That's why we're so excited about the MAXFood Recall Workbench.

The MAXFood Recall Workbench exists for one purpose – to go beyond lot track and trace to enable extremely fast recall functionality. A common challenge for organizations is the quick response to client requests for “test” recalls. Many companies are making the ability to perform a quick recall a key performance metric for their suppliers. You are probably subject to this testing from your customers. Non-performance during test recalls puts your customer relationship at risk. You could lose your customers if you are unable to perform.

We reduce risk to you if your firm is subject to recall testing from your customers. Imagine being able to answer a test recall within minutes – this should improve your vendor performance score and your customer relationship. The MAXFood Recall Workbench goes beyond the time consuming labor of either paper or system based lot track and trace functionality. It provides a Rapid Food Recall capability for:

  • Recalling product shipped to customers.
  • Stopping production for any affected in-process manufacturing orders.
  • Finding and quarantining any on-hand batches subject to a recall.
  • Quarantine and Vendor notification for problem raw material lots.

Normal lot track and trace works just fine, and is an improvement over paper-based lot tracking systems. But lot track and trace doesn’t save time when customers have to be notified or on hand inventory must be quarantined. It just gives you a list of orders or inventory – then someone has to print the list, and enter transactions.

The MAXFood Recall Workbench saves companies time and money by automating and streamling the entire Food Recall process!

Merit Solutions is a Bronze Sponsor at Microsoft Convergence 2012!

Wednesday, December 21. 2011
Merit Solutions is excited to announce that we will be a Bronze Sponsor at Microsoft Convergence 2012 in Houston!

Microsoft Dynamics Customers and Partners come to Convergence from all corners of the globe to experience all that the event has to offer. Loaded with a wealth of informative sessions and other creative ways to learn, customers discover how to extend the power of their solution across all areas of their business. They also get a first look at new product releases and hear about future plans for their software. Convergence is the annual event where connections are generated, best practices are shared, and business relationships are built and renewed.

Merit Solutions is thrilled to be a Bronze Sponsor because we have had a very exciting year - one that has seen multiple product launches, experienced an increase in customer satisfaction, and received numerous awards / recognition within the Dynamics Community:

  • This year, we announced MAXCloud ERP, our Microsoft Dynamics AX Cloud Solution. MAXCloud enables companies to take advantage of the industry-leading capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 at a decreased cost - without sacrificing security or functionality.
  • One of the main benefits of MAXCloud ERP is our Rapid On Deployment and Fixed Price Packaged Services. With Rapid On, you can take advantage of a 30 Day Deployment and the freedom to select only the implementation services you require - all at fixed prices.
  • We also had exciting announcements for our Microsoft Dynamics AX industry-specific products, MAXFood ERP and MAXLife ERP. Earlier this year, MAXLife passed the Certified for Microsoft Dynamics AX Software Solution Testing. More recently, it was named one of the Top 15 Add-Ons for Microsoft Dynamics AX. 2011 also witnessed the launch of MAXFood ERP, a Microsoft Dynamics AX Food Safety solution. We are pleased to announce that both products are now available in the cloud! Learn more about MAXLife Cloud and MAXFood Cloud.
  • At WPC 2011, we launched the Merit Solutions Partner Program, designed to provide partners with the sales, service, and product support needed to present competitive industry bids and win more deals. We invite you to join the Merit Solutions Partner Program!

We hope you are able to join us this year to celebrate the Microsoft Dynamics Community!
