Dynamics AX 4.0 RTM
We hit Dynamics AX 4.0 RTM today. This has been a year of major Dynamics Wave 1 releases for us (CRM 3.0, GP 9.0). I am super proud of what we achieved in this release. We are delivering on all the Wave 1 themes (new UX, search across structured/un-structured, SharePoint portal, SQL & Office BI integration, full support for Web Services). On top of that we have many advances in business application value - RFID, Alerts, MSO, Fixed Assets, Dimensional hierarchies and many more. Also this release represents some significant progress on SQL performance and we will be announcing results on this at our WPC conference in July.
We have been engaging with partners and customers as part of our TAP program. And this has been a great help for us to ensure that we hit the right quality and functional completeness bar for the release. We will be posting links to Podcasts with Mike Giles (CEO Iteration2) & Greg Lush (CIO, The Linc Group) on their experience as part of the Dynamics AX 4.0 TAP program. The introduction to the series is attached to this post.
