Microsoft Dynamics Business Ready Licensing

Overview

Business Ready Licensing is an important industry move that is both customer and partner friendly by providing simplified packages for the most commonly used features and functionality in a way that enables customers to purchase a solution that is the right fit for their people. It also makes it easier for partners to sell and extend the solutions while also giving them a competitive edge in the marketplace.  For our Microsoft Dynamics AX, Microsoft Dynamics GP, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, and Microsoft Dynamics SL product lines we are introducing three value packed offers for our new customers:
