Highly expected release of a premiere ERP system, Dynamics AX is now a reality. Previously scheduled release of Dynamics AX 2016 for November 2015 was postponed to the first quarter of 2016. Let’s find out if it was worth the wait.
Mike Ehrenberg, Technical Fellow, Microsoft Dynamics ERP has expressed that in his 12- years long career working with Dynamics, this is the ‘most significant release we’ve ever done’. Microsoft Dynamics partners who had the privilege of testing the product previous to its release use strong words to describe it: ‘empowering’, ‘opportunity’, ‘next- gen’, or ‘awesome’.
The first major change is presenting itself in the name of the product. There is no longer a version number (Dynamics AX 7), release year (Dynamics AX 2016) or name as previously referred to, Rainer. Instead, it is simply called Microsoft Dynamics AX. Name without the version number indicates that the Dynamics AX is a cloud- based service and will be constantly updated and maintained. No more updates coming in large batches! The increasing trend towards cloud based applications is now taken to a next level.
