Upgrading to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management (FSCM) from Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 can provide organizations with a wide range of benefits. As Dynamics AX 2012 is no longer being supported by Microsoft, it is important to make the move to ensure that business operations can continue effectively and securely.
Scalability and Security
One of the key benefits of moving from Dynamics AX 2012 to Dynamics 365 FSCM in the cloud is the scalability and security that this provides. With D365 FSCM being a cloud-based solution, organizations can easily scale their solution up or down based on their specific requirements, without the need for expensive hardware upgrades. Additionally, D365 F&SCM provides a secure platform, ensuring that sensitive data is protected from unauthorized access.
No More Hardware Upgrades
Another advantage of upgrading to D365 Finance and Supply Chain Management is the ability to redirect resources away from acquiring, updating, and supporting hardware. As D365 FSCM is a cloud-based solution, organizations no longer need to invest in expensive hardware and infrastructure upgrades, as the solution is hosted and maintained by Microsoft.
Automatic Software Updates
The cloud also continuously updates Dynamics 365 with new features and functionality. This means that organizations no longer need to go through costly upgrade projects, as they have access to the latest features as soon as they are released. The modern look and feel of D365 FSCM also provides users with an enhanced user experience, making it easier to navigate and use the solution effectively.
Mobile
Another key benefit of D365 FSCM is its mobile accessibility. With more and more employees working remotely, it is important for business solutions to be accessible from anywhere, at any time. D365 FSCM provides users with a mobile app that allows them to access the solution and complete tasks on the go.
Microsoft 365 Integration
The integration with Microsoft 365 is also a significant benefit of D365 Finance and Supply Chain Management. By leveraging other Microsoft solutions, such as Power BI with Azure Data Lakes, organizations can gain deeper insights into their data, and make more informed business decisions. Independent software vendors can also integrate their solutions with D365 FSCM, providing users with a broader range of functionality.
Disaster Recovery
Microsoft Dynamics 365 FSCM also provides disaster recovery options, which can be a key consideration for organizations. Some on-premise clients can get dinged by their auditors for light DR planning, so D365 can provide additional peace of mind and ensure that business operations can continue, even in the event of a disaster.
New Functionality
Finally, upgrading to Dynamics 365 FSCM provides organizations with the opportunity to take advantage of new functionality as it is released through continuous update releases and preventive quality updates. This means that organizations can benefit from the latest features, without having to go through costly upgrade projects every few years.
In conclusion, upgrading to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management from Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 can provide organizations with a range of benefits. From scalability and security to modernization and enhanced user experience, D365 FSCM is a cloud-based solution that can help businesses operate more efficiently and effectively. With regular updates providing access to the latest features, organizations can stay ahead of the curve and make more informed business decisions.
