Is it a kind of zen question? :-)
Could you please make a little bit clearer what you're looking for?
Dear: Mr. Martin,
Thank you very much for your quick respond,
AX from dynamic AX
AX = Dynamics AX and the whole forum is about Dynamics AX, therefore it's hardly a surprise. But what you want to know about Dynamics AX? If you don't tell us, we can't help you.
Please don't be shy to use full sentences.
I'll give you an example:
USA means United States of America, so it is a simple question. what is the meaning of AX??
Thank you very much responding.
"AX" is not any official name, it's how people shorten Dynamics AX. And the "AX" in "Dynamics AX" is an abbreviation of the name of the original product, Axapta, before Microsoft bought it and re-branded as Dynamics.
Other Dynamics products have similar history, e.g. Navision -> Dynamics NAV and Solomon -> Dynamics SL.
AX is short for 'Axapta' which is the name the first developing company give the ERP.
Short history:
Damgaard a Danish company created an ERP called 'Axapta'.
Navision bought the solution and called it 'Navision Axapta'. And marketed it next to its own ERP 'Navision'
Microsoft bought Navision (and some other ERP products) and 'Navision Axapta' became 'MBS Axapta'.
This all happened in version 1 till 3
After that Microsoft rebranded all its ERP solutions to the 'Dynamics' family of today.
'Navision' became 'Dynamics Nav' and 'MBS Axapta' became 'Dynamics Ax'.
Hopefully this explains it all.
Dear: Mr. Walters,
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much
Not entirely true.
Damgaard Data and Navision merged their businesses under the brand Navision and a couple of years later Microsoft bought Navision.
In Denmark where both companies were founded we sometimes refer to the products formerly branded as "Navision" as "Old Navision" and then of course you *could* call the AX family "New Navision". :)
I understood the history behind AX / Axapta but the question still remains that what was the meaning of the term axapta? is it an acronym or a danish word. i am not able to find any traces of its origin on the net. please share if any one knows.
