Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 migration
Your AX system is costing you more every year
Your Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 migration is already overdue. Your system is end-of-support. Your costs are rising. Microsoft is offering 30% off your move, but only until December 2027.
What you gain
From legacy ERP to AI-ready operations
Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management (FSCM) gives finance and operations leaders what AX never could.
Real-time visibility
Live dashboards and self-service reporting across finance, supply chain, and operations. No more waiting days for SSRS reports or manual Excel extracts.
Intelligent automation
Automate invoice processing, order fulfillment, demand forecasting, and compliance reporting, with Copilot and AI agents built in.
Modern systems
REST APIs and Power Platform connectors replace fragile SOAP integrations. Connect to your CRM, e-commerce, logistics, and mobility tools without custom development.
Predictable costs
Trade rising hardware, IT support, and specialist fees for a fixed cloud subscription. Lower total cost of ownership, zero hardware refresh cycles.
The cost of staying on AX
Six reasons your Dynamics AX migration can’t wait any longer
No security patches, no vendor protection.
AX is end-of-support. Vulnerabilities accumulate, audit findings grow, and Microsoft will not intervene. The risk sits entirely with your business.
System instability gets worse, not better.
Ageing customizations and shrinking AX expertise mean more downtime, slower troubleshooting, and unpredictable system behaviour. The longer you wait, the worse it gets.
You have no access to AI or automation.
While competitors run AI-driven operations, AX users depend on manual Excel exports. No Copilot. No real-time insight. No automation.
Integration is expensive and fragile.
SOAP-based connectors cannot keep up with modern CRM, logistics, or mobility tools. Every integration is a custom project, and every custom project is a liability.
Maintenance costs keep rising.
Hardware, IT support, break-fix, and specialist dependency increase every year, while your platform delivers less. AX is getting more expensive and less capable simultaneously.
Every change is costly.
Enhancements trigger rework. Upgrades take months. Staying on AX means compounding technical debt and paying more every year to stand still.

AX vs Dynamics 365 FSCM
The capability gap you can’t ignore
This is not a technology refresh. It is the difference between a system that holds you back and one that gives you a competitive edge.

|---|---|---|
| AI & Copilot | None | Embedded Copilot + AI agents |
| Reporting | Manual SSRS, Excel exports | Real-time Power BI, self-service |
| Updates | Manual, on-premises | Continuous, cloud-native |
| Integrations | SOAP only, no modern API | REST APIs, Power Platform |
| Security | No patches, end of support | Enterprise-grade, always current |
| Supply chain | Basic WMS, no IoT | Advanced WMS, IoT, automation-ready |
| Cost of ownership | Rising hardware and IT costs | Predictable cloud subscription |
| Upgrade path | Expensive, disruptive | No big-bang upgrades |

The migration approach
How we handle your Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 migration without disrupting your business
The biggest fear in any migration is disruption. We structure every engagement to keep your operations running, your team informed, and your go-live on target.
1 - Assess
We evaluate your current AX environment - customizations, data quality, integrations, and licensing position. You get a clear picture of complexity, cost, and recommended approach before any commitment.
2 - Design
We map your current processes to Dynamics 365 capabilities, identify what to migrate, what to re-architect, and what to retire. Configuration-first, customization-last.
3 - Migrate
Data migration, integration setup, and environment build run in parallel to your live AX system. We use tooling and templates from prior migrations to move faster with fewer surprises.
4 - Validate
User acceptance testing with your team. Issue resolution before go-live. No surprises at the finish line.
5 - Go live
Phased or full cutover - it’s your choice. Dual Access Rights mean AX remains available during transition.
6 - Optimize
Post-go-live support, adoption enablement, and continuous improvement. Your team gets trained, not just handed a system.
