Making the Move to Cloud ERP

Migrating from a Microsoft AX on-premises ERP system to Microsoft Dynamics 365 cloud ERP isn’t as simple as downloading the latest desktop update.

As the successor to Microsoft AX, Microsoft Dynamics 365 includes many of the same features and functionality as the legacy software, but with additional cloudbased capabilities and updates. These new capabilities – and the fact that Microsoft has discontinued support for AX – make upgrading to Dynamics 365 (D365 F&O) a wise choice for businesses that want to take advantage of the latest innovations in Microsoft’s ERP software.

But the move isn’t as simple as a software update. It’s a complex process that involves several steps.

Migration requires transferring the data and functionality of the existing system and reconfiguring and adapting the system to the new architecture and deployment model. This may involve re-architecting the existing solutions, redesigning business processes and training staff on how to use the new system. The process may also involve customization and integration of third-party applications, testing and validation of the new system, and ensuring data security and compliance with regulatory requirements.
