Have you ever thought, “Wouldn’t it be great to have an advisor (with no increase to payroll) that was constantly monitoring the business operations with a single focus to improve efficiency?” Well, let me introduce you to the Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations’ Optimization Advisor.

Most, if not all, organizations have machinery or equipment that requires regular maintenance. In addition to timely preventative maintenance, repairs and even complete overhauls are sometimes necessary so an asset can produce its’ expected return on investment. An organization can have a tremendous investment in its’ machinery and equipment as well as be dependent on their being available and working at optimal performance. Managing this well is imperative to the success of an organization.

And it is a big question which businesses must ask themselves on a somewhat regular basis, probably more often than they would like. Ultimately the answer to the question is yes and that’s based strictly on the rapid pace with which information technology changes and improves. Most companies skip a version or two of their business systems software releases unless there is a good reason to upgrade, such as support ending or new features in the new releases are important to the business.  With the recent release of Dynamics 365 Enterprise it's hard to ignore the improved processes and the positive impact it could have on companies. Therefore many Dynamics AX customers are upgrading to Dynamics 365 Enteprise or considering it.
