Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations: A Migration Conversation

Speakers: Kevin Armstrong, Global Enterprise Strategy Leader and Chad Sogge, Enterprise and Partner Services Leader 

Kevin Armstrong and Chad Sogge will discuss the opportunities that arise when businesses participate in Microsoft’s Standard Migration Assessment (SMA) program, particularly as Dynamics AX approaches end of support in 2022. Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (aka Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management) is the next logical step. But how will it impact your business? How do you move forward? And how can you reduce costs? Get the answers in this sure-to-be-lively migration conversation.

Speaker: Chad Sogge, Enterprise and Partner Services Leader and Jennifer Ranz, Product Leader  

In this session, Jennifer Ranz and Chad Sogge will talk about breaking up…with your Dynamics ERP, that is. It can be difficult to move on from your on-premises Dynamics solution, but it’s likely holding you back from opportunities. And it may no longer meet your new business needs. Attend this session to learn about your options and what steps to take to make the transition amicable. 

The Cloud Conundrum: Clearing Up the Confusion About Putting MS Dynamics Solutions in Azure

Time/Date: 11 a.m. Central | Thursday, October 14  

Speakers: Russ Riley, Sales Leader North America, Cloud Services Team; Kevin Armstrong, Global Enterprise Strategy Leader and Chris Lavelle, Ground to Cloud Strategy Senior Leader 

In this session, Russ Riley, Kevin Armstrong and Chris Lavelle will break down the details around placing a Dynamics solution in Microsoft Azure. The disruptions of 2020 have made clear that it’s no longer about whether to migrate to the Cloud – it’s a matter of how and when. Businesses must migrate to the Cloud if they want to compete, secure their environments and enable remote work. As migration is now a “must,” this session can help you clear up any confusion around the what it takes to migrate.
