MICROSOFT BUSINESS SOLUTIONS-AXAPTA 1
Setting goals is the first step in implementing your
business plan. Following through with a plan of actions
comes next. But how do you know if your business is on
the right track to achieving its goals?
Microsoft Business Solutions00xapta Business Process
Management helps you monitor your progress to
achieve the goals you have set. Functionalities such as
strategic planning, best practice action templates,
SWOT analysis and action planning will help you
leverage experience and human resources, making it
easier for you to stay on track and achieve your goals.
Effective planning and action-oriented information
Making a decision and taking the appropriate action is
easier when your employees have a goal or strategy in
mind. Goals and strategies are often summarised by
action-oriented information to make individual and/or
business goals clear. Action-oriented information also
describes the best method for achieving your goals.
In addition to supporting action management, Axapta
Business Process Management provides you with an
excellent tool that you can use to communicate key
strategies and progress to your employees. Axapta
provides both high-level and detailed views of progress
in easy-to-understand terms. All your employees will be
able to see, understand and react in accordance with
your strategies.
Flexible action management
Axapta Business Process Management enables any
Axapta user to establish and manage actions. When
you set up actions, the program automatically ensures
that your employees follow a standard structure, with
follow-up as a natural part of action planning.
Using the structured and intuitive tools of Axapta
Business Process Management, all your employees can
define personalised actions, set their own priorities and
select and sort various types of information such as
project status, responsible persons and date intervals.

Action Management
Analysis and job management is made simple as the manager can easily retrieve the necessary/relevant information
from an employee's personalised system.
Action template
How often have you made your own checklists for reoccurring jobs such as the recruitment of new employees and the
preparation of introduction procedures for them? Axapta Business Process Management will help you set up standard
procedures and free valuable time.
Use Process Design to set up procedures that you regularly use in your daily work, thereby ensuring that a process is
optimally supported in accordance with best practice. The action template gives you an unlimited choice in the number
of actions that you can simultaneously create and distribute to the responsible people. The process runs automatically,
but under your full control as, initially, you set all the definitions.
Response and tracking
With Axapta Business Process Management, it is easy to respond to actions, create diverted actions, and require
actions between employees. You can set up the system so that a given response automatically suggests a new action.
This ensures consistency and gives you the ability to control procedures.
Effective action planning
Action planning helps you to keep your business focused on your goals. You decide which data in Axapta should be used
to create the foundation for action-oriented efforts such as campaigns, customer satisfaction, employee performance
reviews, recruitment tasks and the administration of other resources, such as machinery.
Easy and flexible planning allows you to control which tasks are delegated to which employees. You can define
characteristics, such as qualifications and organisational or physical location, and use the criteria to filter choices for
various responsibilities.

Strategic planning
You can use strategic planning to identify, control and monitor the progress of your business's overall strategy or an
employee's individual development plan. You can either set up the plan as a main plan or a sub-plan with
accompanying references. The plan is updated with start and end dates, responsible employees, organisational units
and a classification of which type of plan it is. From the initiation of a plan until the end result is achieved,
responsibilities must be delegated and tasks fulfilled - all of which can be controlled and monitored by the action
management module.
With the strategic planning module, you can ensure that the strategic processes become a natural part of every
employee's daily work. This ensures that you get the most value from your resources. It also creates a shared
understanding of the organisation's focus and goals.
