Background Enterprise Resource Portals (ERPs) have dominated the

enterprise market

Business owners are way more ‘optimistic’ than they should be about such systems

High investments often fail to provide reasonable returns in some cases

Lack of enterprise mobile systems in the Pakistani market

The problem Approval of decisions require constant connectivity

Company executives are prone to go on vacations and as a result all of such activities that require their approval are put on hold

No ‘direct’ way of notifying when such an event takes place

Our proposed solution A mobile application that accesses the ERP module that

deals with event permissions and requests

A layer that securely ‘pulls’ and ‘pushes’ the required information and enables synchronization

Eliminates the possibility of security breaches as well as system performance lags

Enterprise Mobility

Our project An Android application that provides ERP access to a

deployed Microsoft Dynamics AX instance and notifies whenever the user receives a request for approval

A custom designed middle layer based on .NET framework which consists of a REST and SOAP API. REST communicates with the app and SOAP communicates with Microsoft Dynamics.

Justifications : why android? In South Asia, Android is the most popular Mobile OS

outside of North America

Belonging to the category of open source, the onlinecommunity can help us a lot in debugging that will be required while developing the app.

Android’s compatibility with .NET framework is more as compared to iOS.

Justifications : why Microsoft Dynamics AX?
