• New templates
NTT Com will add templates for five types of industries/purposes to eliminate the need to customize. The templates will meet specific business needs and thereby simplify and accelerate implementation of Dynamics AX. Detailed customization is still possible, however, to meet other needs. For details, please see attachment.

• Additional support in Asia
NTT Com, leveraging its experience in the Asia-Pacific region and status as a Certified Professional of Dynamics AX, will provide customers with total support for implementing and operating ERP solutions in 12 Asian countries/regions, initially Japan, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Support will include general analysis of each enterprise’s business processes and their compatibility with Dynamics AX, and consultation on each system and network to be incorporated in the solution.

• Hybrid cloud compatibility
Microsoft Dynamics AX on Enterprise Cloud will be able to directly connect with Microsoft Azure and the existing Enterprise Cloud by leveraging Multi-Cloud Connect, an option on the private network service Arcstar Universal One. This compatibility enables seamless hybrid cloud environments incorporating a wide variety of applications from Enterprise Cloud and Microsoft Azure.

• One stop, seamless maintenance services
NTT Com provides Global Management One, its global maintenance and operational service, for Dynamics AX along with cloud computing and network services. The service will include help desks that offer support in Japanese, English and some Asian languages. Enterprises will use the service for globally unified management and operation of their ERP solutions.

Going forward, NTT Com will further enhance its cloud-based ERP solutions with additional templates for specific industries and business needs, as well as launch Microsoft Dynamics AX on Enterprise Cloud in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Myanmar, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and India on a sequential basis.
