Aurigo Software Technologies, a software products and solutions provider in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) vertical, has announced the availability of ‘BRIX 2009’. The latest version of Aurigo’s construction management and inspection system, BRIX 2009, is an industry add-on to Microsoft Dynamics AX and the combined solution is an industry-ready ERP for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industries. The previous version - BRIX 5.0 received a good response in India after it was launched in June 2008.
BRIX 2009 is a vast improvement over BRIX 5.0 as it ships with an intuitive and rich user interface in addition to having a completely configurable Web-based dashboard.

The new BRIX dashboard allows enterprise users to set up user-defined dashboards of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) by connecting to external Web parts, news feeds and even cubes that ship readily with Microsoft Dynamics AX. The new version also comes with enhanced capabilities in the land and facilities management modules.
