Migrate your Microsoft financial and operations applications to the cloudDXC Technology has developed a QuickStarts solution designed to help enterprises migrate on-premises Dynamics AX2009 or AX2012 systems to Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations applications running in the Microsoft Azure cloud. The solution identifies all anticipated configurations, services and project costs required to migrate on-premises customizations and data. The end goal is for you to have continuous delivery of the latest advancements and features that keep your systems on the most current versions of Dynamics 365 running in the cloud, delivering unprecedented flexibility and cost savings.

Today’s Business ChallengesEnterprises running legacy versions of Dynamics 365 on premises are missing out on the benefits of cloud. As part of its “Cloud-First, Mobile-First” strategy, Microsoft is rolling out the latest and greatest features to the cloud and focusing on developing products for a cloud infrastructure. This presents a challenge to enterprises bogged down by legacy on-premises applications: What’s the best, most efficient, most cost-effective way to migrate Dynamics 365 to the cloud?

Your organization may have customized implementations, and the upgradability, scope and costs of a cloud migration

are unknown. In addition, the services required to operate in the cloud are also unknown. Those contemplating the move need to use familiar master data and configurations to assess how closely their current business processes map to modern cloud versions.
