Case Study: Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics
To strengthen business continuity for its operations and customers, Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics moved its on-premises Microsoft Dynamics AX solution to the cloud with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management. The company can now engage customers in new ways, strengthen synergies among processes and tools, recover more rapidly from adverse events, and easily expand functionality to meet future needs. The success of the transformation depended on ease of use, along with familiar technologies and tools, and a long-time relationship with a trusted Microsoft partner, Sikich.

Mid-Continent Instruments
Microsoft stopped supporting Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 in April, 2022. However, many companies still use this ERP system on-premises and need to move to another solution. The Sikich ERP team helps them gain the benefits of Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the modern cloud by performing efficient, no-risk, nondisruptive transitions.
Our entire decision of working with Sikich was the people behind the name brand. They looked at our business processes and made recommendations that were spot-on.
