AX becomes Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations

Microsoft renamed its suite Dynamics bringing together all the customer relationship management and ERP functionalities into one single product known as Dynamics 365. This product is a single service desk or entry point to a whole host of cloud-based business management processes and applications on Microsoft’s Azure platform. The Microsoft Dynamics AX solution is now called Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations; Dynamics CRM is now Dynamics 365 for Sales while Dynamics NAV has been redesigned into Dynamics 365 Business Central.

With AX, the ERP and CRM solutions are accessed separately while Dynamics 365 gives seamless access to either for quicker and improved efficiency overall. Office 365 and Power BI are now also part of D365.

Mobility

look & feel

The new sleek look & feel is designed for a much better employee experience and to foster collaboration among coworkers. The interface can be personalized so that each user can have their own default homepage which cannot be done with AX.
