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.
