Blog on SoftwareAdvice.com
I recieved an email of Neal Houston if I want to post an article on the difference between Microsoft's Dynamics products.
If Google search results indicate the popularity of a topic, then there is clearly a lot of confusion over Microsoft's Dynamics products. A search for "the difference between Microsoft dynamics" returns 36,800 results!So with the recent launch of their ERP software service, Software Advice decided to shed some light on the Dynamics product family. Their article, "Microsoft Dynamics for Manufacturing – Understanding the Difference Between GP, NAV, SL and AX," explains how each product has evolved over the years and naturally become popular among certain industries and businesses. Check it out.
Please leave your comment because I'm curious on what my other colleagues think of this.

This book focuses entirely on extending, customizing, and integrating Dynamics. You will find specific and detailed guidance for linking Dynamics CRM with other Microsoft and third-party products, including SharePoint, Office, Exchange, Communicator, PerformancePoint, BizTalk, SilverLight, VoIP phone systems, and both Google and MSN maps. The book also contains three full chapters on integration utilizing Scribe's powerful adapters and templates. The authors demonstrate how to extend Dynamics CRM 4.0 with features Microsoft hasn't added, including dashboarding, advanced reporting, custom/specialized integration, broader interoperability, and stronger "deep-dive" data analysis. They also show how to safely make custom Dynamics CRM applications available directly to customers.
