The New Microsoft Dynamics AX Officially Launches on Azure in 137 Markets : Some Good Topics from msdynamicsworld

 
Microsoft kicked off its formal launch activities for the new Dynamics AX on Tuesday, announcing that the Azure-native ERP solution is now available in 137 markets and 40 languages.
The new release, previously known by codename "AX 7" has been expected for well over a year (as MSDW has covered, see some recent links below) and has been discussed and previewed at various conferences, even as Microsoft continued to release updates to Dynamics AX 2012. The new AX features virtually the same business logic of AX 2012 R3, but with a new user interface framework and with an Azure-native architecture that takes advantage of newest Microsoft cloud database technology, computing resources, and analytics tools like Power BI, and the Cortana Analytics Suite.

 

Microsoft launches the new Dynamics AX with several customers already live, thanks to the TAP program. Some were featured at the launch event's keynote presentation including Priva, Hagler Systems, Smiles, and Umbra Group. Microsoft has also publicly referenced Renault Sport F1 (formerly Lotus F1) in recent appearances promoting the new Dynamics AX.
Along with the standard AX software, Microsoft is spotlighting more than fifty ISV solutions built with the new Dynamics AX and available through the Azure Marketplace. Microsoft advises that more than 100 additional solutions are in development for the Marketplace.
At the virtual launch event on Tuesday, Microsoft advised that they will be moving ahead with capabilities in several areas. Advice offered to attendees of the event included:

• The user interface is HTML5 now, but Microsoft has plans to build a Windows 10 universal app and Cordova apps for AX
• While Power BI is provided with the new AX, it is enable in the "embedded Power BI scenario" in update 1, providing access to the AX data source only
• Deployment of AX in private cloud scenarios is dependent on the availability of the Azure Stack technology, which Microsoft advised could be released in December.
• Microsoft is not supporting any data upgrade from AX 2012 this year. They will allow AX 2012 code to be upgraded. For AX 2009 they will support data migration and not code upgrades.
• Payroll is not available in the new AX. US payroll will be available later this year all other countries are still to be determined.
