AXImprove Ltd

AXImprove is an independent software vendor with a non-compete approach to its services. It builds its own products but also works on the Microsoft Dynamics market, where it focuses on performance and architecture, and on new product creation for both partners and end customers. Because it does not compete with the partners it works alongside, it often helps them in the background while assisting customers directly.

Performance work across Dynamics systems

Performance is treated as the core of the work. The firm says it has worked with Dynamics since the Axapta era and has seen most of the performance problems the platform produces. Its services cover Axapta, Dynamics AX and later Dynamics 365 and Power BI, and it advises on how performance should be weighed in every outcome it helps to deliver.

Interactive benchmarking and health checks

Interactive Performance Benchmarking tracks how user actions perform on the interface over time, so that claims about slowness rest on measurement. It also records a benchmark for later comparison as an AX implementation grows, which the firm says applies to AX 2012 and earlier. Its health check uses an expert system that audits an environment through the eyes of the application, examining how it uses the data layer and recommending changes from that usage.

Upgrades between versions and databases

Upgrade work has covered several difficult scenarios: skipping multiple versions, upgrades based on customised modules, and moves between MS SQL and Oracle in both directions. The firm also handles code and data upgrades, and it says it helps customers directly but more often assists partners to get the work right for their own clients.

Architecture and industry templates

The company has helped build solutions in automotive, facilities management, wholesale distribution and renewables, among other industries. Its site lists industry templates and customisable modules, including service management features, as intellectual property it has developed. It describes itself as problem solvers, ready either to design a solution for a new opportunity or to add specialists to a project team.
