If your company is considering an upgrade from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365 and currently has external business integrations, understanding the new integration framework will be critical to your planning and success. While looking forward to the benefits that the feature-rich Dynamics 365 platform promises to deliver, the integration technologies that have been added and deprecated warrant an overall evaluation of your integration strategy.

In this white paper, we’ll discuss what these changes mean to your organization and what opportunities they open the door to for EDI integration with Dynamics 365. Specifically, we’ll take a look at the pros and cons of the most widely-used approaches to EDI, such as Value Added Networks (VAN), the use of in-house development resources and contracting outsourced specialists.

As an alternative to these EDI approaches, we’ll discuss an integration option that does not modify the ERP, complementing the performance and functionality offered by the Dynamics 365 for Operations Platform.

Today it stands among the most functional cloud-ready ERP solutions available. AX 7 (the ERP component of Dynamics 365 Enterprise) is undoubtedly the most ambitious transformation made to AX by Microsoft and arguably one of the most remarkable in the history of ERP development.

We're extremely excited to see the new integration framework in AX as it brings with it increased integration potential. To fully grasp the opportunities this transformation in integration offers, it's useful to understand AX Data Entities, the multiple types of entities and each of their purposes before undertaking an integration project...
