So How did you read the title? “I Foresee for Dynamics Ax” …. that’s right, but still it has more subtle meaning to it.Keep reading to know more.

I4C also stands for “Innovites for Cable for Dynamics Ax”, the new add on that I(We) 4 C for Dynamics Ax. I4C(I Foresee) I4C  (Innovites for Cable) taking Dynamics Ax to a niche market, that’s cable industries.

It’s perfect to understand why Dynamics Ax was chosen as the platform for I4C before sharing the speciality of the solution.

Why Dynamics Ax?

Dynamics Ax is the right entrant to the market at the right time. This statement might make you raise your eyebrows. But that’s the fact. The market dominant ERP’s of the 1990’s like BAAN where widely implemented in many companies. These implementations have got quite old and the product companies of the ERP’s are not brisk enough to keep in phase with the changes that have happened mean time. So the companies that are looking  for a replacement have the following objectives to choose an ERP.

1. A product that exactly fits the existing technology stack.
2. A wider vision that ensures a long time support.
3. Cost Effective
4. Good manageability.

If Ax as an ERP can be scored against these needs, I’m sure that it would make up to a very good score. That simply defines in a few lines why Ax is the Platform for I4C

What I4C promises to deliver..

I can remember long time back having a discussion with some of my colleagues on what it takes to implement a Ax for a new Industry. The answer was pretty simple customize Ax to fit their process and implement. I did nod to it. But today if you would put forward the same question before me, I would definitely not give the same answer. Why do you need to go for new System if it is exactly reciprocating your process. Do you really need it ? What value addition has it got it for you ? That’s were the real reason behind the industry verticals stand.

Build a solution that doesn’t just reciprocate but enhances, add value to the existing process and make it more reliable. That’s the promise I4C carries.

I4C promises to inspires business innovation and create the changes to give room for the innovation and execute the change for excellence.

I4C I4C as a Industry solution that Innovates, Renovates and Implements the best fit process for cable industry.

Keep checking this space….as I take you further in to the journey of Innovites’ Innovation.

It’s exactly 2.5 years from the time i began my journey along with Dynamics Ax. I got in to Sonata as  a fresh graduate after my engineering degree. I was made part of the Dynamics Ax practice, being a hardware enthusiast during my graduation days I had little knowledge on “OOPS” (I knew only to say “oops”). So the journey with Ax @ Sonata was much a action packed one, with lots of stuff to learn and lots to explore. The journey was much more interesting when Sonata identified me for my efforts and put me on better roles. I played roles from being a test developer to a lead guiding a large vertical development.

It’s now few weeks since I have got myself out of Sonata to run towards my long term wish. But I sincerely feel that I am much obliged to Sonata for the opportunities  and space that  I was given. It was a hard decision to make, which I am still refusing to believe.

It’s time to talk about the new role that I have picked up. I am now part of the team that has set steps to build a cable solution on Dynamics Ax. I’m much exited about this new role as it was something that I wished to do after becoming an DAx’er (I mean an Ax guy). So get prepared to here more from me and the cable solution that we are building…..

I know you would be now much interested to know more on the cable solution and the people behind it. Just click here to quench your quest …. www.innovites.com

----------- any template for codes where i can just get all the code that i want

 Here guys the Autozip for Dynamics Ax 4.0 which i promised a long time back (click to see my promise).

 1. Dowload and Extract the zip file from the following place...
 2. Add the dll file from the extract to your bin directory and simlarly add an reference to it in your AOT
 3. Now import the XPO.
 4. Autozip is ready to use.

              
 

 How to import a zip file
 
 1. Just open any drive and point to a zip file that contains xpo's(doesn't matter if it contain other files inside it also)
 2. That's all ... all xpo files inside the zip will be imported.
 
Can you use this for your own custom development?
