Microsoft Business Solutions Partner Leverages WebOps TMM on Microsoft Dynamics Ax Platform

In business since 2005, Olive-3 Technologies has made its mark as a provider of "on-demand" and "on-premise" operations management solutions to manufacturers and distributors. A Microsoft (News - Alert) Business Solutions partner, Olive-3 specializes in deploying Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP and its proprietary process-centric operations management software solutions that extend Microsoft Dynamics AX supply chain and manufacturing management capabilities through improved optimization, synchronization and visualization. The company has recently announced the general availability of webOps TMM powered by Microsoft Dynamics AX. The announcement was made during the "Total Manufacturing Management" webcast on 8th June.
 
While designing its webOps TMM, the company has given emphasis on three major principles: "usability," "affordability" and "supportability". The technology, a the company informs, will help mid-size manufacturers reduce manufacturing costs, improve throughput and increase agility by integrating production, maintenance, quality and inventory management processes.
 
Company officials have further informed that webOps TMM leverages Olive-3's proprietary Hierarchical Neuro-Fuzzy decision engine (HNF), Comparative Data Clustering (CDC) and Fast Approximate Performance Imaging (FAPI) technologies. These technologies were originally developed as part of a SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research (News - Alert)) project sponsored by Missile Defense Agency. Based on such advanced technologies, webOps TMM is expected to go beyond the integration of individual elements of manufacturing, and introduce advanced optimization, synchronization and visualization components in operations management..

All these, according to Olive 3 will help mid-size manufacturers emerge as world class organizations.
 
"Our entire product development and technology commercialization strategy is built upon Microsoft Dynamics AX, because of its flexibility, scalability and security. This gives us the ability to focus on rich functionality and user experience for supply chain and manufacturing operations management, without worrying about issues like data access, security model, platform integration, etc. A lot of business software vendors struggle with those issues that significantly increase the cost of developing and supporting software. World's largest software vendor is already taking care of those fundamental software challenges in an integrated fashion. This gives us the ability to deploy very affordable solutions whether you use Microsoft Dynamics AX or not. Leveraging the economies of scale crated by this approach, we can pass the development and software support savings on to customers," Ali M. Aksut, president and founder of Olive-3 Technologies, explained.
 
"Olive-3 plays a key role in Microsoft's overall business solutions strategy of delivering vertical specific, comprehensive solutions that generate fast ROI for customers. With Microsoft Dynamics AX, Olive-3 can deliver best-in-class and affordable solutions to the mid-market," said Bob Aronson of Microsoft.
