To be sure, it is an important step in your ERP journey and your organization certainly wants to do it the right way. For that reason, we’re not going to call you every day asking if you’re ready, but we do want to do everything we can to make sure you have all the information you need when you are!

Wherever you are on the Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 journey, it’s good to have a plan in place and know what your options are. Lucky for you, one track of our Dynamics Digital Academy over the winter covered that very topic.
