Borroughs Corporation Selects Microsoft Dynamics AX and PTC's ProductPoint Solutions from First Tech Direct
First Tech Direct, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner focused on helping companies manage their business processes more effectively and efficiently, announced that Borroughs Corporation has selected Microsoft Dynamics® AX to replace its existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Borroughs Corporation, a Michigan-based manufacturer of industrial storage equipment, office storage equipment, library shelving, and high density mobile systems, will use Microsoft Dynamics AX and PTC's ProductPoint to gain better visibility into their inventory, production planning and forecasting across all operational levels to help them grow. The integration between Microsoft Dynamics AX and PTC's ProductPoint will reduce entering BOM data in two separate applications and speed time-to-market.
"When it came time to select a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to replace our dated legacy system, we chose Microsoft Dynamics AX over offerings from Epicor and Infor," said Greg Worsnop, Vice President at Borroughs Corporation. "Dynamics AX offers us an integrated, user-friendly platform that we can leverage with our existing Microsoft investments, such as Office and SharePoint for greater visibility into our customers and our business as a whole. Dynamics AX allows us to enhance our customer experience and better plan for 'rush orders' and larger manufacturing projects. First Tech Direct's considerable amount of time spent to understand our needs demonstrates their expertise in our industry and strong commitment to help us focus on our future growth."
