Lattice Semiconductor has chosen Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 for high-tech industries to accelerate business decision-making. The solution will replace the production and financial capabilities of a dozen legacy and older enterprise resource planning (ERP) application.

Lattice plans to integrate all its contractors and company sites with Microsoft Dynamics AX technology. Distributor and channel network representatives globally will also be able to view data and pull reports from Microsoft Dynamics AX, which incorporates the Microsoft Dynamics suite of applications.

Microsoft Dynamics AX provides the improved functionality we need, the single platform architecture we were looking for, and a familiar business interface for all our global offices

Clay Miller, Lattice "After evaluating three different ERP systems, we found that Microsoft Dynamics AX was the best fit for our international business model because it provides the improved functionality we need, the single platform architecture we were looking for, and a familiar business interface for all our global offices," said Clay Miller, corporate vice president of shared services and CIO at Lattice. "With 85 per cent of our customers and 100 per cent of our supply chain outside the US, we needed a unified system that would more tightly control costs globally and that would easily grow as our company grows."

The company will augment its Microsoft Dynamics AX solution with high-tech modules developed by its IT services partner, Fullscope to provide much-needed connectivity with its contract manufacturers.

Lattice expects to benefit from improved accuracy and reporting, scalability of a new and standardised platform and a familiar Microsoft corporate interface.

"Succeeding in a global economy demands close coordination among international corporate facilities and manufacturing partners," said David Willis, corporate vice president for the US Dynamics business at Microsoft. "Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 is built for growing companies that need to scale their operations seamlessly to new geographies while relying on a single common database. Microsoft Dynamics AX enables a business to look more deeply into its supply chain and more intelligently into its decision-making."
