29.10.04 75% of Microsoft Dynamics AX customers achieve a positive ROI*
- Delivering a real return with Microsoft Dynamics AX

According to a recent survey conducted by Nucleus Research * 75% of Microsoft Dynamics AX customers had achieved a positive Return on Investment from Dynamics AX with an average payback time of 23 months. There was good news concerning deployment too, with an average of 13 months for a deployment, ranging from as little as 5 months to 36 month for a full phased implementation.

The report goes on to identify the typical characteristics of successful implementations within a company reporting that those companies experiencing the highest return were those that had planned effectively before selection and implementation. These organisations had included both IT and business in the selection and planning process and performed pilots to test usability. They also undertook both functional and ROI-related evaluations of the short listed solution candidates. The research concluded that having both business and IT agree on expected costs and benefits, and both inputting into the selection process, kept technology and political ‘bumps’ to a minimum through deployment.
