Move from Dynamics AX
to the era of agentic ERP
Upgrade from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 with minimal disruption and
step into the era of
agentic ERP. Modernize on a cloud-based foundation
built for connected operations,
continuous
innovation and AI-powered
ways of working with Systems Limited guiding the transition.
Why upgrade
from Dynamics AX
to Dynamics 365?
With mainstream and extended support ended for Dynamics AX 2012 versions, legacy environments
can become increasingly difficult to maintain, secure and evolve. As business models and
operational demands change, aging ERP can also add complexity around compliance, integrations
and scalability, while making it harder to connect data and respond to change with speed.
An upgrade from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 moves ERP onto a modern cloud foundation while
creating an opportunity to simplify legacy complexity. With connected data, Copilot and AI
agents, Dynamics 365 brings agentic ERP into everyday operations, automating work, surfacing
insights and enabling faster, more informed decisions.
Migrate Dynamics AX 2012 or earlier versions to Microsoft Dynamics 365
Modernize legacy Dynamics AX with Microsoft Dynamics 365 upgrade services that address processes, data, integrations and customizations through a structured transition designed to minimize business disruption.
- Migration assessment
- Planning and design
- Data migration
- Integration
- Configuration and extensions
- Testing and go-live
- User enablement
- Support and optimization
Why now is the time to
move beyond Dynamics AX?
Dynamics AX 2009 and all Dynamics AX 2012 releases are now beyond Microsoft’s support lifecycle. As these environments age, maintaining them can bring greater complexity, security exposure and increasing effort to support critical business operations.
