Archive Microsoft Dynamics AX
Secure your data, retain critical reports & ensure CRA compliance with AvenDATA.

From classic versions like AX 2009 and AX 2012 to highly complex custom installations: We streamline legacy system retirement by archiving Dynamics AX data from all generations and industry solutions, covering everything from order processing to financial accounting.

The Challenge

Your historical Microsoft Dynamics AX data is critical, yet accessing it is becoming increasingly impossible.
As you drive IT modernization, execute cloud migrations to Dynamics 365, consolidate data centers or initiate legacy system retirement, your enterprise faces a critical task:
Legacy Microsoft Dynamics AX platforms are complex ERP structures built over decades. They contain the exact records you need to mitigate litigation risks and ensure complete CRA compliance for tax, legal and corporate analytics.
Yet maintaining these systems drains your budget. The environment is outdated, licenses are expiring and the specialized internal expertise required to run them is rapidly disappearing.
Retrieving vital data becomes nearly impossible just when auditors demand absolute audit readiness. You must keep this information fully accessible, searchable and secure for strict regulatory compliance.
This is exactly where AvenDATA steps in with our proven solution for archiving legacy AX environments.
