slide 1: Microsoft Dynamics 365 AX Code to
Dynamics 365 for Operations
Microsoft Has introduced its latest upgrade to its flagship ERP solution Microsoft
Dynamics AX in November 2016 also have rebranded it Microsoft Dynamics 365
for Operations.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations is an ERP business application that is part
of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform a next-generation cloud-based business
management system that combines ERP and CRM capabilities within one
seamlessly integrated platform.
For current The process is really an issue of knowing how your business uses the
machine now and thats where an implementation spouse comes in.
A reliable Implementation spouse has the industry experience in-depth
understanding of business processes and IT knowledge and resources to efficiently
identify plan and implement the upgrade path that makes the most sense for your
company. Relying on a system specialist will help you get the job done efficiently
in a timely and cost-effective method.
Here are some Considerations to remember when organizing a Microsoft
Dynamics AX code upgrade.
Working with a Partner on a Microsoft Dynamics AX Upgrade
When considering an Update path however its important to keep in mind the
integrations that your ERP system currently utilizes in order to operate properly
and provide the data visibility you require. Smaller businesses with nominal
integrations can generally manage a system update with their in-house IT staff but
larger companies with a more complex IT infrastructure should leverage the
expertise of an experienced Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation partner.
A professional Implementation partner for instance Sunbridge software services
will have the ability to guide your company through the update process unique to
slide 2: your own organization ensuring your update project runs smoothly cost-
efficiently also provides the system you want to run your small business.
One thing to keep in Mind is that Microsoft doesnt currently offer an upgrade path
for older variants of Microsoft Dynamics AX -- Dynamics AX 2009 and AX 4.0 --
to Dynamics 365 for Operations. What does that mean if youre conducting a
Dynamics AX 2009 or even AX 4.0 instance
Chances are you Will be tempted to perform a re-implementation. And with the
huge investment that Microsoft has put into Dynamics 365 -- all the powerful
features and the trendy brand new user interface -- itd be worthwhile for the
business to achieve that.
But just in case you Wish to wait or you do not want to take on a total system re-
implementation an implementation spouse can help you update your system into
Dynamics AX 2012. It is a time-tested upgrade route and with a Dynamics AX
2012 application your spouse would then be ready help take your own body to the
next level with Dynamics 365 for Operations in the time which makes the most
sense for your business.
Upgrade vs. Re-implementation: Which is Right for You
Deciding if you Should update your system or do a full re-implementation is
contingent on the complexity of your present Microsoft Dynamics AX system and
also the business management systems that it integrates with -- that is why its so
important to have an implementation spouse at the commencement of your
evaluation.
An implementation Spouse has the knowledge and skill-set to help determine and
guide the code update path thats right for your company and its various operations
from both technical and functional perspectives. The time energy and tools you
want to expend in your appraisal and preparation the better an implementation
partner will reduce the headaches of the decision-making procedure by providing
thought leadership and assistance from beginning to end.
slide 3: An update to Dynamics 365 for Operations from Dynamics AX 2012 would
ideally involve two activities:
· Code update : This is the procedure through which you upgrade your business
logic orcode in technical parlance.
· Data update : This is the procedure through which business data is upgraded to
the new data model.
We say "ideally" Because Microsoft has not released a data upgrade service
however which we anticipate to be accessible 2017.
The alternative to An upgrade is a re-implementation. A re-implementation is
much like a complete implementation and requires the new system version to be
deployed from scratch together with the essential business logic opening accounts
and master information uploaded.
Having a partner That understands the bigger picture of your company and the
nitty-gritty regular details of what you want your system to accomplish is essential
in facilitating a seamless re-implementation undertaking. An implementation
associate with extensive industry and job experience will work closely with you on
knowing what you need from your new system and make sure your
implementation easily reaches desired milestones at every step of this project.
However Theres also another way a business can take. This approach involves
doing A code upgrade but heading with the opening balance and configuring the
master data. The important thing to notice here is that Microsoft has a well-defined
Code upgrade service and a detailed and well-tested approach to upload Data in
Dynamics AX that partners can leverage -- which makes this strategy an Attractive
choice to consider.
