It's funny that we so often talk about Microsoft Dynamics ERP (here on The Edge we are just ERP-focused) and our counterparts in the CRM team talk Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Of course we both so often mention the fantastic stack story that we boast but what about when you combine Dynamics ERP with Dynamics CRM and the Microsoft stack – what do you get?

Based in Wilsonville, Oregon, InFocus is a leader in the digital-projection market and a globally known brand.

In doing so, it shifted from a publicly traded company with 900 employees to the 400-person private business it is today. In addition, the company decided to outsource all of its manufacturing operations. InFocus chose Microsoft Dynamics AX and Microsoft Dynamics CRM to drive that change.
