Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations

Strengthen your Finances and Operations

What is Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, or D365 F&O, is a powerful cloud-based ERP solution designed to manage complex and diversified processes related to financial and supply chain operations.

Medium to large-sized businesses use Dynamics 365 F&O for its AI, BI, and automation capabilities. It lets businesses manage global operations while pushing growth towards scalability.

D365 Finance and Operations was rebranded by Microsoft in October 2019 as two separate ERP applications—Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. However, legacy users still call it Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (F&O).

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations manages key financial processes, supply chain operations, human resources, product information, vendor collaboration, transportation, and more.

D365 F&O enables you to make:

Make smart decisions with real-time data
Simplify business operations with advanced tools
Adapt to changing customer demands using cloud capabilities
Drive growth and save on operational costs
Scale globally by adapting to regulations and compliances

Note: Dynamics 365 F&O was earlier known as Dynamics AX (Axapta) and specifically designed as an on-premises ERP solution. With the modernization of business solutions, Microsoft upgraded Dynamics AX to Dynamics F&O to cater to more advanced tools and capabilities for modern businesses.
