Aurigo and SBS Group Partner to Address the Construction Market in US with Microsoft Dynamics AX-based solution
January 1, 2010 — Aurigo Software Technologies Inc. and SBS Group have teamed up to provide a pre-built Microsoft Dynamics AX-based solution to the construction industry in the U.S.
Under the agreement, SBS will market, implement and support Aurigo BRIX 6.0, the latest version of the company’s web-based construction project management and inspection system, across the Midwest and the Eastern region of the country.
The Microsoft-Aurigo ERP for construction offering combines Aurigo BRIX 6.0 integrated with Microsoft Project Server and Microsoft Dynamics AX to automate the critical areas of finance, HRMS, CRM, inventory and material management. BRIX focuses on automating traditional processes of land management, cost estimation, sub-contract management, change orders, pay estimate generation and digital field inspections for construction houses worldwide.
“All we do is work with owners or builders of infrastructure in the public and private sector to streamline and automate construction processes,” said Kevin Koenig, Vice President of U.S. Operations for Aurigo. “We recently partnered with SBS to build out our channel in the U.S. market. SBS has a specific focus on construction so they make a perfect partner for us.”
“BRIX takes a standard ERP platform like Microsoft Dynamics AX, which was borne out of manufacturing, and it adds in all the processes that are specific to construction like estimation, budgeting, subcontractor management, project documentation, subcontractor payments, invoicing, purchasing as it relates to a construction project. All of those processes are what BRIX augments on the AX platform — it makes AX capital project ready,” Koenig added.
