For organizations still running on Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, the clock is ticking. With mainstream support officially ended and extended support nearing its final phase, now is the critical moment to assess whether it’s time to move to Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365). As a trusted migration expert, Key Dynamics Solutions—with a global footprint across Asia, India, the USA, the UK, and Canada—helps businesses modernize their systems with smooth and strategic AX 2012 to D365 upgrades.
Why Upgrade from AX 2012 to D365?
AX 2012 served many businesses well over the years, offering robust ERP functionalities for finance, operations, supply chain, and more. However, the digital era demands more than on-premise capabilities. That’s where Dynamics 365 comes in—offering a modern, cloud-based solution that integrates seamlessly with the Microsoft ecosystem, introduces AI-driven insights, and provides continuous updates.
The benefits of upgrading include:
Cloud-native scalability
Real-time analytics and reporting
Streamlined user experience with an intuitive interface
Improved security and compliance
Faster, automated updates with reduced IT dependency
Integration with Power Platform, Microsoft 365, and Azure services
At Key Dynamics Solutions, we’ve seen first-hand how a successful upgrade from AX 2012 to D365 transforms businesses and enhances operational agility.
Key Challenges in AX 2012 to D365 Upgrade
Despite the clear advantages, businesses often hesitate to make the move due to perceived complexity. The transition involves:
Code and customization migration
Data mapping and transfer
Process re-engineering
User training and adoption
Our expert-led MS Dynamics 365 migrations approach addresses these concerns head-on. With proven tools, frameworks, and industry best practices, we ensure a smooth journey from legacy AX systems to modern D365 platforms.
Our Approach to MS Dynamics 365 Migrations
At Key Dynamics Solutions, we follow a structured, phase-wise methodology for every AX 2012 to D365 upgrade:
1. Assessment & Readiness Analysis
We evaluate your existing AX 2012 environment—customizations, third-party integrations, data models, and business processes—to understand your specific needs.
2. Planning & Roadmapping
Based on the assessment, we build a detailed migration roadmap, prioritizing critical modules and minimizing downtime. Whether you’re upgrading to D365 Finance, D365 Supply Chain Management, or the broader suite, we tailor the plan to align with your business goals.
3. Data & Code Migration
Using Microsoft's official tools and our proprietary enhancements, we migrate your AX 2012 code, customizations, and historical data to D365 while ensuring data integrity and compliance.
4. Testing & Validation
We run comprehensive testing—unit, integration, user acceptance—to ensure the upgraded environment performs as expected and that your team is fully confident in the system.
5. Training & Go-Live Support
Our hands-on training sessions empower users to adapt to D365’s features, and our go-live support ensures a seamless cut-over from legacy systems.
