To start with our Axnosis implementation methodology (AIM) is summarised inside this PowerPoint.
Axnosis embarked on its journey with Microsoft Dynamics 365 a few
months after Microsoft acquired it from Damgaard. Back then, we worked on Axapta 2.5. Over the years, we've gathered valuable information that could be
helpful. We're delighted to share some of it here.
Brothers Preben and Erik Damgaard founded Damgaard A/S with the purpose of creating a computer based accounting software.
In 1986 they released Concord Finance (Later named C4). The resellers and customers were able to do improvements to the code to tailor the solution to their needs.
In 1991 they released the Concord XAL business application based on the XAL development environment. Concord XAL had an open source code that made the resellers and customers able to create improvements, verticals and modules. Concord XAL quickly became the standard accounting software for Danish market and got foothold in many other countries.
In 1994 “Big Blue” IBM and Damgaard partner 50/50 to create Damgaard International A/S to focus on the international markets.
The year is 1998 and the first version of Axapta was based on the Concord XAL business processes and covered
Financial, Trade, Inventory management, Logistics and Production.
It was created on a new and exciting object-oriented technology and was intended for midsize companies.
It ran for the most part on Windows NT servers with Microsoft SQL Server 6.5, but also supported Oracle databases.
In November the same year, version 1.5 is released with support for Norway, Sweden, Germany, UK, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and Belgium.
Service pack technology is introduces along with Publishing manager and support for MSSQL 7.0. Damgaard buys out IBM and obtains exclusive rights for the Axapta software and brand.
Microsoft buys Navision A/S in June 2002 and it joins among others the ERP solution Great Plains to make up Microsoft Business Solutions.
Microsoft releases Microsoft Axapta 3.0 in October 2002. It supported 17 countries (including Canada) when launched. The security model was renewed, license configuration was introduced along with Enterprise Portal. The Demand planner and inter company functionality was added.
September 2005 Microsoft rebrands Microsoft Business Solutions to Microsoft Dynamics and their business application is also renamed; Axapta becomes AX. With the new name in place, Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 is released in March 2006.
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 released in September 2011 for 25 countries. This was the biggest release of AX and introduced many changes and improvements both on the technical and application aspect of it.
March 2016 Microsoft a more transparent and engaged company introduced a paradigm shift in the ERP world. Living up to Nadellas “Cloud first-Mobile first” mantra, the new version of Dynamics 365 F&O saw the light.
