Upgrade at your own pace
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 is designed with upgrades in mind, allowing you to build on the value of your existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution at a pace that makes sense for your organization. You decide which of the following scenarios will work best for your business. The first scenario provides the foundation for the second.
1. Deploy a modern, standard ERP Technology platform
Upgrading to the latest ERP technology infrastructure can drive business value now—and give you a
foundation for expanding functionality to support new and specialized business processes. Microsoft
Dynamics AX 2012 enables you to modernize and standardize your ERP technology platform and
reduce operational IT costs:
- Replace customizations with standard functionality
- Simplified solution management to accelerate your deployment, optimize systems management, and ease upgrades
- Centralized ERP with consolidated instances that enable you to run your global business centrally and manage master data and shared processes across companies more easily
- Pervasive interoperability for lower total cost of ownership
- Unified Natural Models to support evolving business needs
2. Add business value by expanding your ERP footprint
With a standard platform in place, you can implement new and specialized processes to meet line-of-
business requirements. Take advantage of a rich variety of enhancements in all areas of the
applications to help your organization:
- Microsoft Dynamics RoleTailored user interface, Microsoft SharePoint portals and workspaces, and the ability to access, change, and save ERP data without leaving Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word
- Enhanced financial management
- Support specific business requirements in your industry quickly with purpose-built industry capabilities for manufacturing, distribution, public sector, services, and retail in a single solution
- Ad hoc, self-service business intelligence
- Improved supply chain planning capabilities across your organization
What's the next step - Conduct an Upgrade Assessment
An Upgrade Assessment is a highly effective way for Ellipse Solutions to assess the complexity of your implementation and to identify areas of concern should an upgrade take place. It also provides you with a clear understanding of the areas of re-work that are expected and clear recommendations on the type of upgrade project you should undertake for your Microsoft Dynamics implementation.
