Microsoft Dynamics AX (Axapta) is an ERP solution designed for larger enterprises, offering advanced tools for finance, supply chain, and operations management. Now evolved into D365 Finance and D365 Supply Chain Management, it provides even more comprehensive, cloud-based solutions tailored to meet the complex needs of modern businesses.
Dynamics AX (Axapta) is mainly an on-premises solution that requires significant hardware and infrastructure. In contrast, Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management is built for the cloud, offering flexible deployment options like SaaS (Software as a Service) and hybrid setups.
