To-Increase Launches RapidValue Implementation Solution for Microsoft Dynamics AX
Veenendaal, NL: To-Increase is transforming speed, agility, and precision of vertical ERP implementations with RapidValue for Microsoft Dynamics AX. The solution enables partners to model business processes for customers directly within Microsoft Dynamics AX, then translate that model into an application that fits a customer’s unique requirements. RapidValue brings model-driven development directly to the customer and makes it relevant, easy to understand, and geared to ensuring precise needs are met quickly and cost-effectively.
“Customers run businesses that depend on well-orchestrated processes and best practices. Their vertical ERP system should support—and in some cases improve—the way the business works”, says Bjorn Kuijt, VP product management for To-Increase. “Too often, implementation projects fail—or at the least run over time and over budget—because processes don’t come first. Customers get features and functionality that don’t meet their specific needs. With RapidValue, we’re transforming those issues. We can give customers a process-centric solution that can save up to 30% in time and costs when compared to other implementation scenarios.”
RapidValue enables partners to create a visual business model and process flow using familiar Microsoft Visio tools. Flexible templates make it easy to adapt scenarios, and the solution can be used to create models for third-party applications as well. After the customer and partner determine the optimal model, it can be translated into a solution that’s right for the customer. Process flows and best practices can also be included as native parts on the Microsoft Dynamics AX Help system.
“RapidValue gives extra attention to that crucial first piece of the puzzle—how does your business run? That enables everything else in the implementation project to move forward faster and more accurately,” says Cornelis Bosch, CEO for To-Increase. “60%-80% of RapidValue is standardized, and that increases predictability. But it’s also flexible enough to adapt to specific industry and customer scenarios, with minimal custom development. RapidValue frees partners to focus on domain expertise and everything that new technologies can offer a customer. We want customers to discover how standardized solutions and implementations make it easier to ensure their most exacting needs are met.”
RapidValue works hand-in-glove with Microsoft Dynamics Sure Step and RapidStart methodologies and tools.
