This is an example of an integrated cloud/ERP solution. This application, called MARS product Configurator, enables sales representatives and engineers to build or configure unique finished goods using assemblies and components from existing inventory. The point-and-click environment enables the creation of visual star-burst presentations of the newly configured bills-of-material, where assemblies and components are added and deleted when designing the new bill. Detailed cost roll-up bills-of-material of the configured product are also displayed in the window (and can be printed locally). Configured solutions are (optionally) saved in an Azure table for convenient access. Configured solutions are also (optionally) imported into Microsoft Excel, where cost roll-up formulas associated with the configured products are programmatically built into the Excel spreadsheets for off-line analysis, and the spreadsheets are programmatically formatted to be ‘presentation ready.’ Detailed sales orders and sales estimates (quotes) are created from final configured solutions and exported to their respective ERP systems (QuickBooks or Dynamics GP). The application consists of a Silverlight front-end with an Azure WCF Webrole and Azure table storage in the cloud. The Azure Webrole processes requests and responses from an HTTPwebrequest app called RAMS which resides on the servers of the Dynamics GP users. QuickBooks users integrate their databases the Intuit’s Workplace platform-as-a-service (PaaS).
