Microsoft Dynamics AX

Maximize your AX investment with modern analytics, automation, and a roadmap for the future.

Enhance and Support Your AX Environment with Ascent Innovations

Dynamics AX has long been a powerful ERP for mid-market and enterprise businesses. As technology evolves, organizations need a strategy that balances performance, longevity, and future readiness. We support businesses using Dynamics AX to operate smoothly, integrate to enhance the experience and help maximize the ROI with modern extensions and automations.

We help the organizations plan and prepare for the transition and enterprise modernization to Dynamics 365. We provide guidance and expertise to ensure appropriate readiness and preparation for the transition with no disruption to the operations.

Extend the Life of AX with Modern Capabilities

For businesses that aren’t ready for migration, Ascent Innovations helps enhance AX functionality using Microsoft Power Platform, analytics, and automation tools to introduce modern capabilities without the disruption of a full upgrade.

Power BI Reporting & Dashboards – Improve decision-making with real-time business insights tailored for finance, supply chain, and operations.

Power Automate for Process Automation – Eliminate manual tasks, automate data flows, and integrate AI-driven decision-making into AX.

This enables businesses to extract more value from the Dynamics AX investments, while maintaining stability and smooth operations until ready for an upgrade.

Why Upgrade?

For businesses still using AX, the transition to D365 isn’t just an upgrade—it’s moving from a reliable workhorse to a high-performance race car, built to dominate the road ahead. In today’s fast-moving business environment, success depends on predictive insights, seamless operations, and the agility to respond instantly to demand shifts. Unlike AX, D365 integrates functional silos, connecting teams with real-time data and AI-driven insights.

This accelerates decision-making, decreases order-to-ship lead time, and maximizes profitability—giving businesses the agility needed to win in 2025 and beyond. With mainstream support ended for AX 2009 and AX 2012, organizations face increasing risk to their enterprise operations and data security. Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain delivers AI-driven automation, scalability, and security, ensuring your ERP investment is future-proof. Real-time analytics and seamless integration with Microsoft Cloud services empower leaders with more agile decision-making, allowing businesses to stay competitive, efficient, and prepared for the future.

Benefits of Upgrading from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365

Upgrade Readiness: Preparing for a Smooth Transition

A successful upgrade is more than just moving data—it requires strategic planning, process alignment, and clean data management. We help businesses optimize AX workflows to simplify the transition, clean and structure data for accuracy, and assess integration needs to ensure seamless connections with third-party applications. By addressing these areas upfront, companies can accelerate upgrade timelines, reduce costs, and minimize disruptions, ensuring a smooth and efficient upgrade to D365.
