integrated data, will allow the company to better pinpoint marketing

programs to the needs of its customers, promoting growth. E-commerce

and EDI will enable significant growth in new channels and markets

as well.

* Cost savings. AliMed expects to save at least $300,000 a year by

curtailing the maintenance fees, upgrades and programming charges to

which it was subject with its previous ERP solution. The company

also expects to improve inventory turns with the better management

tools available, reducing its on-hand inventory costs. In addition,

better customer-relationship information will enable AliMed to

target its spending on marketing campaigns for a more effective

return.

* Time savings. A dashboard feature with pre-determined reports that

update automatically will save time in decision-making, while

Microsoft Dynamics CRM will facilitate easier tracking of marketing

campaigns, speeding the analysis of results. Furthermore, the

product configurator in Microsoft Dynamics AX is expected to allow

AliMed to process custom orders more accurately and efficiently than

with its previous system.

* Accuracy of data. AliMed expects that having a completely integrated

system will help ensure its data is accurate and reduce costly

errors.

* Improved reporting. Microsoft Dynamics AX and its reporting tools

will greatly improve real-time reporting of key data and will allow

for elimination of the many reports that the company previously

generated manually. The business intelligence feature will allow

publishing of reports to an enterprise portal and a scorecard for

instant updates and faster decision-making.
