Keeping it Real: TCO for Microsoft Dynamics AX in the Cloud

To the cloud or not? While the new and improved Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 promises to set the standard for simplicity and functionality, determining whether to implement this powerhouse ERP system on-premise versus in the cloud is a significant decision for any organization. Cut through the confusion, and join cloud-computing expert Greg Pierce as he breaks down the total cost of ownership (TCO) of deploying Dynamics AX in the cloud. Greg will begin by reviewing the non-financial considerations of cloud-based deployment, such as technical staff skill set, user scalability, operational agility and seasonal business (think ramp-up for the holiday rush or tax season). He will then provide an in-depth TCO analysis of Dynamics AX in the cloud, including software, maintenance, hardware, staff training, data center and ongoing support. Attendees will leave with actual TCO samples and break points by user.
