GALAXY Integration

"GALAXY is the glue that connects your Microsoft Dynamics AX or NAV implementation to other systems within your company. We developed it ourselves - it's standardized and proven to work.” -- Mary Chromej, CM, Columbus IT UK.

Microsoft Dynamics AX and NAV are powerful, comprehensive ERP solutions for your organization, connecting employers and customers together using industry-standard software and technologies.

 

Both solutions are customizable and expandable. Whether you have an existing software solution, or you want to take advantage of the vast Columbus IT library of custom modules, we're here to help fit the pieces together.

 

We've developed software that works to 'glue' the various pieces of your existing technology and new implementation together seamlessly. Welcome to Columbus IT GALAXY.

 

How GALAXY integrates your systems

Columbus IT GALAXY has two parts:

  • A Basic Module, common to all of our integrations, that manages the flow of information between Dynamics AX or NAV, and third-party systems or our own custom modules.
  • An Integration Kit, specific to the technologies chosen for your specific integration.

Different parts of your organization's IT solution use different types of data, in different locations, and run on different technologies. The Basic Module accommodates all these different ways of doing business, giving you a structured, standardized, and uniform approach to integration between Dynamics AX or NAV and any external systems. Down the road, support or further enhancements is also easier, since the Basic Module is common to all of our integrations.

 

The Integration Kit will depend on the technologies that are integrated. We have numerous integration kits available now, and are developing more kits as demand for new technologies increases. Here are some of the technologies for which we have integration kits:

  • ASCII in file exchange
  • ODBC exchange - for data warehouse information
  • XML Documents
  • XML MS Biztalk posting - for reusing existing business logic
  • IBM MQ series
  • EDI Inhouse - for billing and receiving orders
  • XAL integration
  • Dynamics AX integration
  • Oracle / SQL integration
  • FTP up/download
  • Conversion
  • Zip pack/unpack
  • E-mail integration
  • EBCDIC DB2 conversion
  • Columbus SCRATCH
  • COM - for integration to barcode scanners, radio, mobile computing, docking, electronic data gathering, wireless, and other technologies.

Columbus IT GALAXY has you covered. For integrations today, or integrations in the future using new technologies, we give you the solution that ties your business together.
