What is Dynamics AX (Axapta)?
Launched as Axapta in the late 1990s, Microsoft Dynamics AX software evolved into a robust ERP platform trusted by mid to large enterprises. Known for its powerful capabilities in financial management, supply chain optimization, human resources, and manufacturing, it enabled businesses to streamline complex operations. With the shift to cloud-based systems, Microsoft phased out its Axapta software and introduced Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations as its modern, cloud-first successor within the Dynamics 365 suite.
