Moving from AX to Business Central

Microsoft Dynamics AX served its purpose well. But with AX2012 R3 reaching the end of its product lifecycle, it’s time to look ahead. No more mainstream support. No more innovation. And that means your business could be exposed to risk — operational, financial, and strategic. 
 
At TVT, we help businesses move forward with confidence. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a modern, cloud-first ERP that’s built for agility, scalability, and growth. If you’re still running AX, here’s why Business Central is the upgrade your business deserves. 
 

Why you should move to Business Central

1. Cloud-first, future-ready

Business Central is built for the cloud. That means automatic updates, lower infrastructure costs, and access from anywhere. AX, by contrast, is on-premise — expensive to maintain, slow to upgrade, and increasingly disconnected from modern business needs.

2. Smarter cost savings for smaller teams

If your AX deployment supports fewer than 50 users, Business Central offers a more cost-effective alternative to Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations. You get powerful ERP capabilities without the enterprise-level price tag.

3. Built for multi-entity, multi-currency operations

Business Central handles complex financial structures with ease. Whether you’re managing multiple companies, currencies, or financial years, its built-in consolidation tools make it simple. AX can do this too — but with more complexity and less flexibility.

4. A modern, intuitive user experience

Business Central’s interface is clean, web-enabled, and designed for real users. It’s easy to navigate, personalise, and drill into data. AX feels dated by comparison and often requires more training and support to use effectively. 

5. Seamless Microsoft integration

Business Central is part of the Microsoft ecosystem. It integrates natively with Outlook, Teams, Excel, and Power BI - no connectors, no workarounds. You can view customer data in Outlook, collaborate in Teams, and analyse in Excel, all from within Business Central.

6. Flexible licensing and rapid deployment

Business Central uses a named-user subscription model, making budgeting predictable and scalable. It’s quicker to deploy, easier to configure, and more adaptable to your business needs than AX ever was.

 

Time to move forward with Business Central

AX is a legacy system. Business Central is a modern ERP designed to help you grow, adapt, and thrive. If you're ready to future-proof your operations, TVT is here to guide you through the transition — with expert support, tailored migration plans, and a focus on long-term success.
