Upgrade Microsoft Dynamics AX to 365

Q: What will I gain by upgrading to Dynamics 365?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a single platform solution, providing you with built-in BI and analytics to streamline and modernize your business processes. Upgradation to Dynamics 365 offers you secure features and better functionalities through advanced updates. You further get to enjoy extensive accessibility, reduced IT maintenance, multi-platform user interface integration, helpful updates, robust security and real-time business intelligence.

New features, integrated operations, enhanced business insights and modern user experience

Microsoft has ended the extended support for most of Dynamics AX versions and the support for remaining versions (AX 2012 R2 and RTM) will only linger until December, 2021. After that, organizations running outdated Microsoft software will be exposed to security and compliance risks.

This is the optimal time to upgrade to Dynamics 365 and benefit from a future-ready CRM and ERP. It is a comprehensive solution designed to help organizations improve collaborations, gain data-powered insights, increase operational efficiencies, and leverage improved best practices for 2021 and beyond.

Modernize business processes and move to the cloud with Dynamics 365

Dynamics AX is primarily an on-premises ERP solution and lacks Azure cloud capabilities. In contrast, Dynamics 365 features cloud computing that allows organizations to drive business growth, adapt to market demands, transform digitally, and drive value across the organization. With Dynamics 365, you:

Only pay for the services you use
Get additional integrated ERP and CRM capabilities
Benefit from extensive integrations with other platforms
