ASi offers predictable IT cost planning with its new Managed Services support plans for added relief to many companies in today’s tighter economy

LAKE FOREST, CA – April 3, 2009 – Advanced Systems Integration (ASi), a Gold Certified Microsoft Dynamics AX partner, is pleased to announce its new Managed Services support plans for Microsoft Dynamics AX (formerly Microsoft Business Solutions Axapta). Microsoft Dynamics AX is Microsoft’s most scalable and flexible enterprise-wide resource planning (ERP) application. ASi’s flexible Service Level Agreement (SLA) offering was designed specifically for Microsoft Dynamics AX customers seeking to simplify their ownership experience yet still desiring control over their company information.

ASi’s new offering compliments Microsoft’s North American Business Ready Enhancement Plan and provides AX customers a local partner delivered support alternative to Microsoft’s Premier Support offering. Microsoft and Advanced Systems Integration are both dedicated to helping existing customers save money and unlock tangible business benefits which will ultimately enable additional capital availability for new innovation and growth.

Some of the immediate benefits companies are able to attain with a Managed Services support plan from ASi include:

Simplified IT operations

Reduced IT investments

Predictable monthly costs

Access to best-of-breed IT capabilities and highly-skilled personnel

Access to 24x7 IT administration services (if desired)

Tom Kim, a Senior Vice President at ASi, commented recently, “The team at ASi already supports many of the most recognizable manufacturing and distribution companies in the U.S. using Dynamics AX. We saw a growing interest in outsourcing at this past Convergence (Microsoft’s annual Dynamics user event). With Microsoft clearly behind partner hosted (Software + Services) ERP offerings, we feel the time couldn’t be better to formalize our Managed Service offering which includes remote support, service pack administration, and upgrade planning services.”

Kirill Tatarniov, corporate vice-president of Microsoft Dynamics Business Solutions, spoke at Convergence and revealed, “We just aren’t seeing a demand for Microsoft hosted ERP (Software-as-a-Service), we plan to continue with our traditional licensing model wherein our Dynamics ERP partners host, implement and customize our solutions. The model is working quite effectively." ASi agrees.
