Modernize the Business, Not Just the System.

Moving from AX is not just a software upgrade.

It is a chance to simplify processes, clean up old workarounds, and choose the right platform for what your business needs next.

Ascent helps you move from AX to Dynamics 365 Business Central or Finance & Supply Chain with a clear modernization plan.

Talk With an AX & D365 Expert

Still on AX?

You do not have to rush. You do need a plan.
We can help you:
  • Support and improve AX today
  • Fix reporting and performance issues
  • Improve integrations
  • Automate manual work
  • Prepare data for migration
  • Build a roadmap to D365

Before We Migrate, We Understand the Business.

We review:
  • Business processes
  • Data
  • Customizations
  • Integrations
  • Reporting
  • Financial requirements
  • Operational requirements
  • How users actually work in AX

Then we decide what should be:

  • Kept: Still works and adds value.
  • Improved: Still needed, but can work better.
  • Replaced: A better D365 approach exists.
  • Retired: No longer needed.

Business Central or Finance & Supply Chain?

Not every AX organization needs the same platform.

Dynamics 365 Business Central

Best suited for growing small and midsized organizations that need to connect:

  • Finance
  • Purchasing
  • Inventory
  • Sales
  • Service
  • Day-to-day operations

Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain

Designed for more complex organizations with needs such as:

  • Multi-entity finance
  • Advanced manufacturing
  • Warehousing
  • Supply chain planning
  • Project accounting
  • Complex integrations
  • Global operations
We recommend the platform that fits your business not the biggest system available.
