Microsoft Dynamics AX

Software Overview

Microsoft Dynamics AX is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) application for Windows. It was one of several Microsoft ERP systems, alongside Dynamics NAV, Dynamics GP, Dynamics C5, and Dynamics SL. Microsoft eventually discontinued Dynamics AX and replaced it with Dynamics 365, a cloud-based ERP and CRM platform.

Dynamics AX was designed to support a wide range of business operations and administrative tasks. Its core modules included finance and accounting, supply chain management, human resources and payroll, customer relationship management, manufacturing, business intelligence, and enterprise performance management. The software was also localized for 36 countries, with support for multiple languages and currencies, making it suitable for international organizations.

The system included mobile capabilities that allowed users to work outside of the office. For example, users could access customer insights at the point of sale, create project time sheets, submit expense reports, manage approvals, and give shop floor workers visibility into production jobs. Organizations could also develop custom apps within Dynamics AX to meet business-specific needs.

Summary

Before it was discontinued, Dynamics AX provided features for various operations and tasks, which led several large companies to adopt it,including Nissan, Delta, AMEC, and Ashley Furniture Industries. Microsoft has since shifted its ERP offerings to Dynamics 365, which provides similar functionality with ongoing updates and cloud-based services.
