Moving from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365
The starting point is a financial estimate of the economic value of investment against the total direct and indirect cost savings over your system lifecycle. The TCO estimate considers six cost areas to visualise the transition to the cloud.

A move to the cloud offers significant potential to improve business performance with improved productivity, capability, and business insights.
Organisations have often observed that increased automation, a better user experience, reduced rework, and enhanced forecasting increase company-wide productivity. In addition, real-time data analysis and streamlined processes can help enhance forecasting accuracy, improve quality, reduce waste, and prevent delays.
Dynamics 365 cloud solutions typically perform better than on-premises with operating costs, schedule compliance and on-time delivery.
Overall, this can lead to improvements in the cycle time of key business processes, together with improved operational efficiency materializing in increased profit margins. The business outcomes (KPI impact) from the use of cloud ERP varies across industries.


For TGI Fridays to accomplish their ambitious expansion plan, they needed a platform that could provide efficiencies and access to information that would allow for growth. Check out this video to learn how they’re using Dynamics 365 to accomplish this at both the corporate and restaurant levels.
The journey to the cloud brings with it huge opportunities to become more agile and respond ever-faster to changing demand.
Organisations are frequently able to continuously improve, with faster deployment, more frequent updates, and a faster capability enhancement process.
In addition, businesses can adapt more quickly, scaling to new sites or geographies or improving the time to onboard newly acquired businesses. This accelerates the time to standardize and improve performance together with gaining consistent global performance insights.
Finally, organisations can become more data-driven with new insights based on more robust data gathering and real-time availability to drive innovation. These insights support improved strategic planning and new operating models.
