10. Microsoft Dynamics NAV Software + Services
10/9/ :28 PM
Microsoft Dynamics NAV Software + Services
Partner hosted solutions through Service Provider Licensing Agreement (SPLA)
Customer choice and experience
Consistent user experience
Choice in delivery deployment and payment options
Easy deployment
Dynamics ERP Software + Services
The “Services” component comes in two flavors today:
The “Software” component of S+S is our on-premise ERP solutions.
Services hosted by Microsoft that enhance ERP (such as Payments and Commerce)
Hosted solutions by Partners under SPLA
Microsoft Dynamics S+S strategy is centered around offering customers CHOICE. One of our differentiators in the market is our ability to offer customers the choice of deploying on premise or hosting from the cloud, or perhaps doing both. The SPLA program allows customers to consume our ERP products from a hosted solution in a monthly payment relationship. It is the same product that they might decide to install on-premise under a perpetual license model. Larger organizations may choose both models to fit unique circumstances. Regardless, the user experience would be consistent.

Additionally, we are actively pursuing a strategy of delivering services that “attach” to the on-premise ERP products and enhance their capability. These services:
Extend people’s reach – through connected business scenarios (e.g. providing access to a marketplace)
Rapid innovation - help us accelerate the pace at which we can deliver innovation to customers
Deliver dynamic content – things that change often such as Customer Source content, perhaps currency rates, etc.
Microsoft Dynamics Online Services vision will transform the way people think about ERP. Microsoft’s relationship with our customers will be more active, rapidly delivering innovation to help them improve their operations.
So - “How is Microsoft delivering Software as a Service?”
Our investment roadmap for services is 100% aligned to our overall strategy reviewed earlier in this session. We will prioritize services that :
Provide foundation solutions – utilities or financial applications - with broad appeal
Drive adoption of our ERP solutions through enhancing the underlying industry capability
Support connected solution development across services and categories, allowing developers to leverage the Azure Services Platform so that solutions built in Azure can leverage Dynamics Online services in order to deliver more complete capability to Dynamics ERP customers
Are delivered with partners – We understand that services, like on-premise solutions, should have a custom development strategy and still must be configured to work for a customer’s unique requirements and we rely on the partner to accomplish that. Furthermore, when there is an explicit Microsoft revenue stream associated with a service, partners will have the opportunity to participate in that revenue.
Most importantly, some Microsoft Dynamics Online Services are available today! Not only do we have a vision for the future, but we are already delivering. Unlike some competitors who have recently changed their strategy and grudgingly decided to plan for some services in the future, we have been delivering services for over two years. Some of these services started with the small business accounting space and have now been moved to our Dynamics business. We are in market today with a Payments service available for Microsoft Dynamics AX, POS, and RMS. We’re evaluating plans for these services to be extended to the rest of our Dynamics portfolio. We have a commerce service enabling multi-channel sales that will be in beta for Dynamics solutions in FY10. And we are announcing the Dynamics Connect service that allows people using Microsoft Dynamics to get valuable content from Customer Source, tailored for their role, delivered right to their desktop. Availability varies by product.

These are High-value services that drive customers’ revenue and improve expertise.
