AX 2012 → D365 F&O migration by AI — X++ re-coding ticket by ticket

Microsoft has announced AX 2012 extended support is ending, and every migration quote at a large SI lands around €800k to €2M.

TL;DR

X++ re-coding from AX 2012 to Dynamics 365 F&O by AI, ticket by ticket. €200 per migrated customization. 70-85% saving vs classic SI.

AX 2012 → D365 F&O migration is billed like a greenfield project

  • ✗AX customizations (over-layering) all have to be rewritten as D365 extensions — i.e. 60 to 80% of the migration budget.
  • ✗SIs typically scope 200 to 500 person-days just for re-coding, excluding data.
  • ✗Quality risk is high: AX and D365 patterns differ significantly (CoC, extension classes).
  • ✗Modern X++ (D365) expertise is scarce and expensive: €1,500-2,000/day for architects.
How SKALP solves it

AX → D365 re-coding ticket by ticket, €200 per migrated customization

  • ✓Automatic analysis of your AX 2012 repo: customization inventory, complexity classification.
  • ✓Re-coding into D365 extension pattern (event handlers, CoC, extension classes) — no over-layering.
  • ✓Per-ticket delivery on your Azure DevOps: you validate each customization independently.
  • ✓Typical saving: 70 to 85% of migration budget vs an SI.

Frequently asked questions

When does AX 2012 support end?+
Microsoft ended Dynamics AX 2012 R3 extended support on January 10, 2023. Beyond that date, only paid extended support options remain available. Eventually, no more security updates will be provided and regulatory compliance will no longer be guaranteed — making migration to D365 F&O a strategic priority.
How many tickets does an AX 2012 → D365 migration represent?+
An average migration (200 to 800 significant AX customizations) represents 250 to 1,000 Skalp AI tickets once split by object (table, class, form, report), i.e. €50,000 to €200,000 in X++ re-coding. Compare with €600,000 to €1,500,000 for an equivalent SI migration.
Does Skalp AI cover AX 2012 data migration?+
Our scope is X++ re-coding and D365 extension delivery. Data migration (DMF, Data Management Framework) is handled by your internal team or a specialized data partner. We deliver custom entities needed for import as part of tickets.
Can we run a progressive migration instead of a big-bang?+
Yes, and it is even recommended. The Skalp AI per-ticket model naturally aligns with a wave-based approach (Finance, then SCM, then HR), allowing production deployment in validated increments without blocking AX operations.
