Fujitsu and Glovia International, Inc. (GII) today announced the launch of glovia G2, the next-generation production management ERP for the manufacturing industry, available today worldwide.

The product combines functionality compliant with international standards and Japanese manufacturing know-how, enabling the quick deployment and integration of production management systems globally. The software makes production conditions visible by individually tracking the production, sales, and inventory status of each business site in a timely manner.

These capabilities help customers respond quickly to changes in international market conditions at each layer of their organization—managerial, administrative, and production—and develop plans for global strategic production.

Microsoft Dynamics AX was originally developed as Axapta in Denmark before Damgaard was merged with Navision Software A/S in 2000. The combined company, initially NavisionDamgaard, later Navision A/S, was then ultimately acquired by the Microsoft Corporation in the summer of 2002. Before the merger, Axapta was initially released in March, 1998 in the Danish and U.S. markets. Today, it is available and supported in forty-five languages in most of the world.
Custom AX development and modification is done with its own IDE, MorphX, that contains various tools such as a debugger, code analyzer, and query interface. This development environment resides in the same client application that a normal day-to-day user would access, thus allowing development to take place on any instance of the client. The development language used in Axapta is X++.
On May 26th, 2008, Microsoft completed developing the latest version (2009) in facilities spanning the globe and including sites in Vedb?k, Denmark; Kiev, Ukraine; Fargo, North Dakota, USA; and Redmond, Washington, USA.
The history becomes apparent in the mixed concepts in design and programming and in the rudimentary documentation which has been removed to a large extent (which was deemed better than providing it with contradictions or wrong information).Wikipedia

Well, you want to have the independent installation DAX (Microsoft Dynamics Ax or Axapta) to some notebook or your home PC.
Microsoft says in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 System Requirements:
"Computers running Microsoft Dynamics AX components must have access to other computers in the same Active Directory service domain, with Active Directory configured in native mode."
So, they forces you to buy the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (~1200$ incidentally).
What can we do?

Hello.
As you know, the great economic crisis has begun not long ago. Let's talking about the influence of this crisis on the ERP software producing and consulting. The reaction of businesses to the economic crisis is to stop spending money. The ERP systems aren't essential goods of businesses, and consulting companies lose clients. They initiate staff reduction and reduce wage of consultants and developers of ERP software. Nobody is buying the ERP now. In this connection, ERP vendors (Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, etc.) have to bring down their prices. If you want to buy the ERP system, we recommend waiting 3 months; it will be for half of today's price.

On May 3, 2006, Lawson Software and Intentia International AB, a Stockholm, Sweden-based provider of enterprise computer software, officially began operating as one company. The merger joined two of the software industry's mid-market companies and offers an alternative to larger ERP vendors.

The new company's Enterprise Resource Planning solutions fall within two main product lines: S3 Products
Applications in the S3 product line are designed to help customers “staff, source and serve.” These applications primarily target services industries that include: enterprise financial management, human resource management, supply chain management and business intelligence. Lawson’s primary S3 industries include healthcare, retail, state government, local government, K-12 education and other industries.
Human capital management product group includes global human resources, talent acquisition, local human resources, performance management, Absence Management, Personnel Administration, Benefits Administration, Financials and Accounts Payable.

Campbell Scientific , a manufacturer of data acquisition and control products, has selected Infor ERP SyteLine for 25 users at its European headquarters. Campbell Scientific, which provides data acquisition instrumentation such as data loggers and remote weather monitoring stations, will deploy Infor ERP SyteLine to help integrate production, purchasing, sales, accounting, contract management, warehousing and service functions. The solution will help streamline workflow, allowing the company to drive efficiencies and hone a competitive advantage.

Campbell Scientific's current ERP system has been in place for a decade and, despite extensive customisation, could not keep pace with the changing needs of the business. Campbell Scientific needed a new, standardised ERP system that offered both rich functionality and ease-of-use.

Baan
The Baan Corporation was created by Jan Baan in 1978 in Barneveld, Netherlands, to provide financial and administrative consulting services. With the development of his first software package, Jan Baan and his brother Paul Baan entered what was to become the ERP industry. The Baan company focused on the creation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.

Baan gained its popularity in the early nineties. Baan software is famous for its technical architecture and its 4GL language, which nowadays is still considered to be one of the most efficient and productive among database application development platforms. Baan became a real threat to market leader SAP after beating SAP in the Boeing deal.
