Approaching GO LIVE

For those of you that have read my prior posts regarding AX 2009 and AIF with the AX BizTalk adapter, we have been working with our first implementation since June 2008. Without going into the details, we are approaching GO LIVE and the latest configuration is done this week such as defining the final endpoints. We basically have a solution with a set of front line services (FTP) in the perimeter network and BizTalk Server 2006 R2 togheter with AX 2009 in the local network tied together with some middleware. Not revolutionary or innovative, but a simple, cost effective and robust solution based on proven technology.

The test results so far are good and we are ready to GO LIVE tying a lot of trading partners to the client. We will have sales ordres, purchase orders, packing slips and picking lists flowing, in addition to invoices in different shapes and flavors. First phase is roll out in one country and two additional roll out phases are planned for the next months. By roll out in this context, we talk about markets with a set of different trading partners for each market.

Stay tuned for general updates!
