QinetiQ chooses Avanade for Microsoft Dynamics AX implementation in Belgium

MERELBEKE – November 29, 2016 – Avanade, the leading global provider of innovative digital services, business solutions and design-led experiences, has confirmed that QinetiQ has chosen to work with Avanade to implement a Microsoft Dynamics AX solution for QinetiQ Space Belgium, the pioneering supplier of space exploration systems.

The organization was previously using a software package developed in-house to support its business processes. Avanade and QinetiQ Space Belgium are now working together to chart the various processes and map the existing solution against Dynamics AX with implementation anticipated to take place prior to the end of the 2016 calendar year.

"Our existing software no longer met our needs. That’s why we were faced with the challenge of finding a solution that could handle the full cycle of a project as well as being suited to our engineer-to-order processes, including development, purchasing, logistics, production and invoicing. Avanade provided a conference room pilot that satisfactorily demonstrated that Dynamics AX would be able to meet our requirements and match our way of working," explains Erik Masure, Managing Director at QinetiQ Space Belgium

"We needed to understand QinetiQ Space Belgium’s engineer-to-order processes. Additionally, we learned about their needs for extensive integration with Microsoft Office, as well as a range of their CAD/CAM and engineering applications. With our conference room pilot, we were able to demonstrate our response to multiple challenges," says Jan Peeters, Country Manager for Avanade Belgium. Jan explains that “Avanade’s ERP solutions are based on the powerful Microsoft Dynamics AX platform. This service is able to support the unique requirements of organizations, and can be tailored to an ever-changing business environment.”
