Are you a Dynamics AX user considering an upgrade to Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management? Did you know you have options for your upgrade? Depending on which version of AX you are using, Microsoft and Western Computer offer different upgrade options to make your transition as smooth as possible.
To help you learn about your AX to D365 upgrade options, as well as important considerations to guide your decision, I encourage you to download our white paper, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management Upgrade Strategies.
Cloud (SaaS) vs. On-Premise Upgrade
One of the first things your organization will decide is whether you want to deploy Dynamics 365 F&SCM in the cloud or on-premise. While some companies will have valid reasons for remaining on-premise, most will benefit from a cloud deployment of D365 for the valuable benefits included, such as:
- 99.9% financially backed Service Level Agreement (SLA) from Microsoft
- Cost savings vs. hardware and resource requirements with on-premise
- Automatic updates
Western Computer’s Upgrade Approaches
In addition to choosing your deployment path, Western Computer will help you identify the best approach for your upgrade from three options:
- Complete Upgrade
- Fresh Start Upgrade
- New start Upgrade
Your approach will be unique and based on your version of AX, your data, and your resources—amongst other considerations. You can find a helpful comparison chart of all three of these upgrade approaches in the white paper on the last page of the white paper.
