Why migrate from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations?

Microsoft discontinued Dynamics AX, and existing AX customers no longer receive hotfixes and updates with new features. Dynamics AX is rapidly becoming obsolete, harder to use, and reliant on outdated technology and hardware. Many AX users choose to migrate to Dynamics 365 F&O as it is the next generation of AX, built on the same framework, and supports the same ERP needs. Additionally, the new applications allow businesses to choose only the solutions they need and have the flexibility of working in the cloud. With an intuitive UI, embedded intelligence, and automated processes, Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations is the ideal solution for fast-growing businesses.

With cloud-based D365 Finance and Supply Chain Management, your system will always be current, allowing you to take advantage of the latest technology while reducing ongoing upgrade costs. Microsoft is continuously enhancing its solutions, with two release waves of new features per year that don’t interfere with customizations. A cloud migration can increase your business’s agility and ability to stay current, scale, and roll out new capabilities quickly with automatic upgrades.

Eliminate reliance on legacy infrastructure

Migrating from Dynamics AX to the cloud removes the burden of maintaining aging servers, outdated hardware, and custom code that slows operations. Dynamics 365 F&O delivers a secure, scalable architecture with continuous updates, lowering IT costs and keeping your environment current without disruptive upgrades.

Access to powerful AI and Copilot capabilities

Dynamics 365 F&O brings embedded AI and Copilot tools that automate financial and operational tasks, reduce manual work, and surface insights in real time. These capabilities strengthen forecasting, improve accuracy, and give teams the intelligence they need to make faster, data-driven decisions.

Scalability for long-term growth

Dynamics 365 F&O adapts as your business expands, supporting higher transaction volumes, new business units, and more complex global operations without requiring a major system overhaul. Its cloud foundation gives you the flexibility to scale capabilities at your own pace and sustain growth for years to come.

Transition to a cloud-based, next generation solution

Take advantage of this limited-time offer from Rand Group and Microsoft to get 40% off cloud-based Dynamics 365 licenses. With a three-year subscription, current Dynamics AX users can transition to the cloud at their own pace and add new users throughout the subscription duration.

Microsoft has ended support for Dynamics AX

Microsoft has fully retired support for Dynamics AX, which means organizations still running the platform no longer receive hotfixes, security enhancements, or feature updates. As the system ages, it becomes harder to maintain, more vulnerable to risk, and increasingly dependent on outdated infrastructure that limits business agility. Migrating to Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations provides a modern, cloud-based path forward that preserves the strength of AX while adding advanced capabilities, improved usability, and continuous innovation.

Benefits of Dynamics 365 F&O:

Continuous feature updates through Microsoft’s twice-yearly release waves
Cloud infrastructure that keeps your environment current, secure, and scalable
Deep integrations with Power BI, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Azure services
Embedded AI, automation, and analytics for better decision-making
Automatic upgrades that reduce downtime and remove the need for costly major updates

We have always felt like a top priority when working with Rand Group’s team and have the utmost confidence in their industry and technical knowledge.
