Legacy Dynamics AX and AX 2012
Purpose
AXImprove has deep experience with Axapta and Dynamics AX, including AX 2012.
The ConfigCompare Platform includes capabilities and specialist services for organisations that still operate AX 2012 or are preparing to migrate from AX 2012 to Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management. These capabilities are delivered through ConfigLegacyAx, the platform component that provides legacy Dynamics AX and AX 2012 Snapshot and readiness capability.
AX 2012 Snapshots
ConfigLegacyAx captures AX 2012 Snapshots. These Snapshots can be used for upgrade readiness, environment review, and Comparison against D365 F&SCM Snapshots where relevant.
AX 2012 to D365 comparison
AX 2012 Snapshots captured by ConfigLegacyAx can be compared by ConfigCompare against Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management Snapshots for upgrade path analysis. This helps organisations understand Differences between their legacy AX configuration and their target D365 configuration.
Upgrade readiness
AXImprove supports upgrade readiness through:
- AX 2012 configuration Snapshots.
- AX 2012 to D365 comparison.
- Metadata analysis.
- Database optimisation.
- Performance optimisation.
- Readiness review.
- Extension of viable AX 2012 operating life where migration is not immediate.
Extending AX 2012 operating life
Some organisations need to remain on AX 2012 longer than planned. While those organisations prepare for D365 migration, AXImprove provides AX 2012 Snapshot capture through ConfigLegacyAx and upgrade-path comparison through ConfigCompare, and offers readiness assessment as a service.
