Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations now also on-premise
In addition to a cloud-based and a hybrid version, Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations is now also available for purely on-premise operation in a company's own data center or with a hosting service provider like Sycor.
Functionally, the scope of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations is the same in the on-premise and in the cloud version. The benefit from our perspective lies mainly in the additional choice for customers, offered by Microsoft in response to clear market demand:
- New customers can choose between the on-premise and cloud versions. This is of special interest to customers who have invested money in their own data center or do not want to go into the Azure cloud for policy reasons.
Even when Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations is operated on-premise, it can be linked to other products such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online and other cloud apps in the Dynamics 365 portfolio. Conversion from all old versions to Dynamics 365 is offered for all existing Microsoft Dynamics AX customers. Here, customers can switch to the on-premise version – but also move to the cloud now or later on if desired. Interfaces for data storage in the cloud are not necessarily required for this version, but are possible in hybrid scenarios. Microsoft offers optional cloud-based add-ons for big data and business intelligence applications, among other things, for Power BI and Azure Machine Learning. This makes it possible to switch from the company's own environment to the cloud and vice-versa.
Info: The Dynamics 365 family has been renamed. Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations (Enterprise Edition) is the previous Microsoft Dynamics AX and Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations (Business Edition) is the previous Navision.
