Dynamics AX to Business Central: A Smarter Upgrade Path

If you have an aging Dynamics AX solution that is out of support, or your business has evolved and your current ERP no longer fits your needs, it is time to explore your options. You do not have to start from scratch or waste time evaluating entirely new ERP platforms.

By taking advantage of your past investment in Dynamics AX, you can transfer your AX licences — including maintenance plans — over to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central through the easy-to-follow Microsoft Transition process. This means less disruption, a familiar Microsoft ecosystem, and a modern solution built for the future.

Our team is ready to surprise you with what Business Central can do. In 3 simple steps, we can put you on the path to a modern ERP — cloud or on-premise.

In 3 Simple Steps, Our Expert Team Can Have You on a Clear Path Forward

Understand Your Challenges

We start by listening. The more we understand your specific needs, pain points and business context, the better the options we can suggest — and the more accurately we can assess whether there is genuine value in evaluating Business Central for your organisation.

Insight Discovery

Our team reviews your current solution needs, identifies the gaps, and maps them against the capabilities of Dynamics 365 Business Central. We also complete an initial licence Transition review to provide a clear and transparent picture of what the licence transfer would look like.

Tailored Demonstration & Implementation Plan

We deliver a tailored demonstration of Dynamics 365 Business Central, shaped around your specific business context. Together, we agree on whether this is the right path for your organisation and if it is, we provide a comprehensive implementation budget and plan to get you started.

FAQ

Yes. Microsoft offers a structured Licence Transition programme that allows organisations to move their existing Dynamics AX licences, including active maintenance plans across to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This means you are building on your existing Microsoft investment rather than starting from scratch. Prodware manages this transition process on your behalf, including the initial licence review and transfer administration.

Neither path is forced. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is available both as a cloud solution and as an on-premise deployment. During the Insight Discovery step of our process, Prodware evaluates both options against your infrastructure, budget and operational requirements so you can make an informed decision that suits your organisation, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

That is a perfectly valid outcome, and one we plan for. Prodware offers an unbiased evaluation which means if Business Central is not the right path for your organisation, we will tell you. We can also provide Dynamics AX Customer Care Support to keep your current solution running reliably while you continue to explore your options. There is no pressure to change.

The Microsoft Transition process is designed to be as straightforward as possible particularly for organisations with active maintenance plans. By leveraging the familiar Microsoft ecosystem, your teams are working within a known environment rather than learning an entirely new platform. Prodware's managed approach from initial scoping through to go-live is structured to minimise disruption to your day-to-day operations throughout the transition.

The first step is simply a conversation. Prodware's team starts by listening understanding your current challenges, your business context and what you need from a modern ERP. From there, we can assess whether there is genuine value in evaluating Business Central for your organisation and outline what a realistic transition would look like. No commitment, no pressure.
