Microsoft Dynamics AX is not just the next release of a great product. It is, in fact, a generational shift in business software, delivering new levels of capability, unmatched agility, and a compelling and empowering user experience. At the same time,
Microsoft Dynamics AX sets a new standard for simplicity. This does not pretend to capture every detail of the product, but instead highlights the key innovations that make Microsoft Dynamics AX powerful, agile, and simple.
Microsoft Dynamics AX is a truly global solution, designed to scale with your business.
Simple enough to deploy for a single business unit in a single country, Microsoft Dynamics AX will support the unique requirements for business systems in 36 countries—all from a single-instance deployment of the software.
