FAQs about upgrading
The risks of not upgrading to F&SCM
End of solution support
All versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX (from 4.0 through to 2012 R3) are now at the end of their Microsoft Fixed Lifecycle policy.
This means you’re no longer entitled to any updates, security patches, or enhancements to the solution.
Of course, you can still ask your partner for support on issues that may arise, but with ever changing compliance and security measures, as well as missing out on modern functionality—the need to upgrade is more pressing than ever.
Compatibility issues
As technology has evolved significantly in the past years, still relying on a solution like Dynamics AX can lead to compatibility issues when trying to connect with newer software, hardware, and integrations.
By not future proofing your operations with an upgrade, this can hinder your business operations and limit the ability to adopt new technologies and strategies.
Performance and reliability
As an on-premises solution, Dynamics AX can be prone to aging infrastructure, leading to performance degradation and increased changes of downtime.
Due to hardware limitations, the solution may not be able to scale effectively to meet your growing requirements, disrupting your processes and limiting your ability to expand.
Higher maintenance costs
Not only do you have to deal with on-premises maintenance costs, but also supporting a system that is no longer dealt with by Microsoft can become increasingly expensive due to the need for custom fixes that require specialist expertise.
Missed opportunities
Remaining using a system such as AX is putting you at a disadvantage as you are unable to access new improvements that help drive business growth and efficiency.
Dynamics 365 offers new advanced features such as Copilot AI, Machine Learning, and advanced analytics capabilities that aren’t available in legacy versions of AX.
The Dynamics 365 platform also benefits from bi-annual updates to the platform, bringing consistent updates to put the platform at the forefront of innovation.

See what our customers say
“Mercurius came in, had a look at all the requirements of the business, had a good understanding of not just what we wanted today but what our strategy was for the group going forward, and came up with several proposals looking at what was the best fit in terms of a system that could grow with the business as the business grew, and ultimately gave us advice and recommendations for the one that was the best fit for us. We can implement the solution across many different sites over the coming years. ”
Not only did Mercurius beat our existing partner’s quote by a significant margin, they did it at a fixed price - removing our commercial risk.
In the end, they guided us carefully through the process and also implemented some great improvements to our business using the new features.
I’ve always been somewhat sceptical about moving from on-premises systems to the cloud. However, after going live a month ago, thanks to Mercurius IT , I must admit I’m very impressed.
The system has brought immediate and positive changes to my business.

Is Dynamics 365 F&SCM the same as Dynamics 365 F&O?

Microsoft rebranded the applications into two separate solutions to better highlight its comprehensive focus on both finance and supply chain management. The rebranding reflects the solution’s enhanced capabilities in these critical business areas.
How long does the AX to Dynamics 365 F&SCM upgrade take?
The duration of the upgrade from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 F&SCM can vary depending on the complexity of the existing system, the amount of data, and the level of customisations. Generally, it can take several months to a year to complete the upgrade process.
Will I need to retrain staff after the upgrade?
Yes, retraining staff is often necessary after upgrading to Dynamics 365 F&SCM due to the new interface and enhanced features. However, the intuitive design of Dynamics 365 can help ease the transition and improve user adoption. As part of the migration process, Mercurius IT provides full training to ensure users understand the system.
What are the cloud migration considerations when upgrading from AX to Dynamics 365 F&SCM?
When migrating to the cloud, consider factors such as data security, compliance, integration with existing systems, and the readiness of your organisation for cloud adoption. It’s also important to plan for potential downtime and ensure you have the necessary resources for a smooth transition.
Can I upgrade directly to Dynamics 365 F&SCM?
Yes, you can upgrade directly from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 F&SCM. After understanding your businesses current situation, we will work through the process with you to conduct careful planning and execution, ensuring a successful migration.
Can I upgrade to F&SCM from other ERP solutions?
Yes, it is possible to upgrade to Dynamics 365 F&SCM from other ERP solutions. The process will involve data migration, system integration, and potentially reconfiguring business processes to align with the new system.
My AX system is heavily customised, will I be able to keep my customisations after upgrading?
While some customisations can be carried over, it’s important to evaluate each one to determine if it is still necessary or if there is a standard feature in Dynamics 365 F&SCM that can replace it. The upgrade process includes tools to help bring forward existing custom application code.
