Microsoft has a range of vertically oriented partners associated with its Dynamics business, and one example is Atrion. It is through a collaboration between Microsoft and Atrion that customers working to become greener will be able to ensure that the products they design, develop and distribute are in compliance with ecological standards. According to the software giant, the integration of product compliance into business processes can be simplified by leveraging Microsoft Dynamics AX together with Atrion’s Product Compliance Solution.

“At Microsoft, we are committed to technology innovation that helps organizations around the world better manage their impact on the environment,” noted Mike Ehrenberg, distinguished engineer, Microsoft Business Solutions. “We look forward to collaborating with Atrion to satisfy our customers’ needs in the area of product compliance.”

Essentially, the combination of Dynamics AX and Atrion’s Product Compliance Solution is designed to ensure that the risks posed by hazardous materials are reduced, while also guaranteeing regulatory compliance throughout the product lifecycle. And it is meeting standards imposed by legislation that generates problems for businesses, especially when it comes down to keeping up with regulatory environments that change and evolve constantly.

“As a part of our continued commitment to environmental improvement and providing sustainable cleaning solutions, we knew that we needed to integrate product compliance into our product life cycle and supply chain processes. We chose Microsoft Dynamics AX as our ERP backbone and Atrion’s Product Compliance Solution that includes compliance applications and managed regulatory content,” added Gary Arrand, director of IT from DuBois Chemical. “Atrion is recognized for its regulatory expertise and is a global leader in supplying managed regulatory content, and when combined with Microsoft Dynamics AX, it is a cost-effective and simplified solution to integrate compliance throughout all of our processes helping us meet our mandate of Lean, Green and Clean.”
