Microsoft Dynamics AX install base

Microsoft Dynamics AX Customers List

Reach 61K+ Companies Using Microsoft Dynamics AX

BizzContacts identifies 61K+ companies using Microsoft Dynamics AX globally, covering AX 4.0 through AX 2012 R3, and holds 2.25K+ professional contacts at companies in that install base. Tell us the countries, industries, company sizes and job titles you sell to, and we build the list around that brief.

Worth knowing up front: company coverage is much broader than contact coverage on this install base. We identify far more companies running Dynamics AX than we hold named professionals for, so we confirm which accounts carry contacts for your filters before you order — and the free sample shows you exactly that.

Dynamics AX is a legacy Microsoft ERP platform and is no longer supported. That makes its install base useful in a particular way: these are companies weighing support, modernization and migration decisions, which is a different conversation from selling into a platform someone bought last year.

What Is the Microsoft Dynamics AX Customers List?

It is a technographic database. Technographic simply means the data records which technology a company runs, alongside the usual company details. This list identifies companies associated with Microsoft Dynamics AX and gives you named professionals to contact at them.

Company-level technographic data

The account itself: who the company is, what it does, how big it is, where it is, and the fact that Dynamics AX has been identified there. This answers which companies should I approach.

Contact-level professional data

The named professionals inside that company: job title, department, seniority, business email and phone. This answers who do I actually write to. A company list without this is a research task, not a prospect list.

Microsoft Dynamics AX at a Glance

Microsoft Dynamics AX is an enterprise resource planning platform developed by Microsoft, used for finance, supply chain, manufacturing, inventory, distribution, retail and wider operations. It is the predecessor of Microsoft’s current finance and operations apps, and its lineage continues in Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. Dynamics AX was typically deployed on-premises, and it is no longer supported by Microsoft.

Microsoft support lifecycle for Dynamics AX. All four versions have passed both mainstream and extended support. Dates are Microsoft’s own, published on Microsoft Learn.
Version	Mainstream support ended	Extended support ended
Dynamics AX 2009 SP1	9 October 2018	12 April 2022
Dynamics AX 2012	9 October 2018	12 April 2022
Dynamics AX 2012 R2	9 October 2018	12 April 2022
Dynamics AX 2012 R3	12 October 2021	10 January 2023

Source: Microsoft Learn — end of mainstream support for Dynamics AX 2009 and 2012

Two things worth separating. A company that deployed Dynamics AX years ago may still run it, may have upgraded to Dynamics 365 Finance or Supply Chain Management, or may have moved to something else entirely. And “Dynamics AX” covers several versions with different histories — AX 2012 R3 was supported four years longer than AX 2009. We record the version where we hold it, and we do not assume that a historical deployment is a current one.

Why the published numbers disagree

How Many Companies Use Microsoft Dynamics AX?

BizzContacts currently identifies 61K+ companies using Microsoft Dynamics AX globally, and holds 2.25K+ professional contacts at companies in that install base.

There is no authoritative published total for the Dynamics AX install base. Microsoft does not report Dynamics AX customer numbers, and technographic providers publish figures that differ widely from each other. That is not because one is right and the rest are wrong. It is because they are measuring different things.

The variables that move the number: whether historical installations are counted or only current ones; whether a company that has migrated to Dynamics 365 still appears; which versions are included; which countries are covered; whether subsidiaries count separately from a parent; and how the provider identifies technology usage in the first place. A figure built on job postings behaves very differently from one built on partner disclosures.

So treat any single number as one methodology’s answer rather than a fact about the market. Ours is 61K+ companies identified in the BizzContacts database. If a count matters to your business case, ask us what is behind it for the specific segment you care about — that is a more useful question than the global total.

Companies Using Microsoft Dynamics AX

Microsoft has published Dynamics AX deployments at companies across motorsport, manufacturing, consumer goods and retail. The table below lists examples from Microsoft-published material, with an important qualification: these are reported deployments, not confirmations of current usage.

Reported Dynamics AX deployments from Microsoft-published material. Most of this material predates the end of AX support, and at least one of these companies has since been reported by Microsoft as having migrated to Dynamics 365.
Company	Industry	Country	Company size	Reported Dynamics AX deployment
Renault Sport Formula One Team	Motorsport	United Kingdom	1,000–5,000	Early adopter of the AX cloud service, reported by Microsoft in 2016
ShoreMaster	Manufacturing	United States	250–1,000	Deployed 25 Dynamics AX modules after evaluating SAP and Oracle
BRIO	Consumer goods	Sweden	250–1,000	Ran Dynamics AX alongside Dynamics CRM for cross-function reporting
Sonee Sports	Retail	Maldives	250–1,000	Ran Dynamics AX, since reported by Microsoft as migrated to Dynamics 365

Technology installations change. Companies upgrade, migrate, merge and replace systems, and a case study published in 2016 describes 2016. Treat this table as an illustration of the kind of company that ran Dynamics AX, not as a current customer list — and request the latest verified dataset if you need accounts you can act on today.

Reach Microsoft Dynamics AX Decision-Makers

A list of company names is a research task. What makes an install base usable is the named professional inside each account — and on an ERP platform that is rarely one person. The system owner, the budget holder and the operational sponsor are usually three different professionals.

Job titles requested on this list, the department each sits in and the decisions it owns. Not every company has every role — a dedicated Dynamics AX Administrator exists where there is an in-house team and nowhere else — so we confirm which titles exist for your filters before you order.
Job title	Department	Decides on
CIO	Technology	Owns the ERP estate and its budget
CTO	Technology	Owns architecture and integration decisions
IT Director	Technology	Day-to-day owner of the platform
VP of IT	Technology	Owns the application portfolio
ERP Director	Technology / Operations	Owns the ERP roadmap
ERP Manager	Operations	Runs the system day to day
Dynamics AX Administrator	IT	Configures and maintains the environment
Microsoft Dynamics Consultant	IT	Implements and extends the platform
Enterprise Applications Manager	Technology	Owns the wider application estate
IT Infrastructure Manager	Technology	Owns the servers AX runs on
CFO	Finance	Signs off ERP and modernization spend
Finance Director	Finance	Owns financial processes and reporting
Operations Director	Operations	Owns the processes the ERP runs
Supply Chain Director	Supply Chain	Owns planning, inventory and logistics
Procurement Director	Procurement	Owns supplier and purchasing processes
Digital Transformation Leader	Technology	Owns modernization programs

Filtering by job title, department, seniority, geography, company size and industry is what turns 61K+ companies into a list worth working. A migration consultancy targeting CIOs at mid-market manufacturers in three US states is running a different campaign from a managed-service provider targeting IT infrastructure managers across Europe, even though both start from the same install base.

On contact coverage, be aware of the shape of this dataset: we identify 61K+ companies using Dynamics AX and hold 2.25K+ professional contacts across them. Company coverage is much the broader of the two, which is normal for a legacy install base — identifying a company from public signals is easier than holding a current, verified professional inside it. Tell us the titles you need and we confirm how many of your target accounts carry them before you order.

Microsoft Dynamics AX Customers by Industry

Dynamics AX was built for companies with physical operations — inventory, production, distribution — which is where its install base is concentrated.

Descriptions, not adoption rates. We publish no per-industry company counts or percentage breakdowns, because we have not measured them.
Industry	Typical Dynamics AX use	Roles worth targeting
Manufacturing	Production, MRP, shop floor, costing	CIO, ERP Manager, Operations Director
Wholesale distribution	Inventory, warehousing, order management	IT Director, Supply Chain Director
Retail	Store operations, merchandising, point of sale	CIO, Enterprise Applications Manager
Consumer goods	Demand planning, trade, multi-site inventory	Supply Chain Director, Finance Director
Automotive	Parts supply, dealer systems, aftersales	ERP Director, Operations Director
Industrial equipment	Project costing, service contracts, spares	CIO, ERP Manager
Food & beverage	Batch traceability, quality, compliance	Operations Director, IT Director
Professional services	Project accounting, resourcing, billing	CFO, Finance Director
Technology	Finance, procurement, multi-entity reporting	CIO, CTO, Applications Manager
Healthcare	Procurement, finance, supply management	IT Director, Procurement Director
Logistics	Freight, warehouse, transport operations	Operations Director, IT Manager

Companies Using Microsoft Dynamics AX in the USA

The United States is one of our largest markets for this install base. US data is drawn from the wider global database rather than sold as a separate product, so you can ask for the whole country, a handful of states, or a single metro, combined with industry, company size and job title.

We do not publish a separate figure for Microsoft Dynamics AX users in USA. The 61K+ companies we track is a global figure, no verified US breakdown exists in our data, and an estimate presented as a count would be worth less to you than an honest answer. Tell us the US segment you want and we will confirm exactly what coverage exists before you order.

Why Target Companies Using Microsoft Dynamics AX?

A legacy ERP install base is a specific kind of signal. It tells you a company has a substantial system in place, that the system is no longer supported by its vendor, and that someone there owns decisions about what happens next.

ERP consultants and Microsoft partners

The clearest fit. An AX install base is a list of companies running an ERP that is now out of support, which is the conversation you are already having.

Systems integrators

AX environments are rarely standalone. Integration, data migration and middleware work sits around almost every one of them.

Cloud migration providers

Legacy AX is typically on-premises. Companies moving it are making infrastructure decisions at the same time.

Managed service providers

Out-of-support software still needs running. Support, monitoring and patching are ongoing needs regardless of migration plans.

Data migration companies

Years of ERP history has to move somewhere. That work is specialist and it is separate from the ERP project itself.

Cybersecurity vendors

Software past extended support no longer receives security hotfixes from Microsoft, which changes how these companies think about compensating controls.

Business intelligence companies

Reporting on an ageing ERP is a common pain point, and often the first project before any migration.

SaaS and technology vendors

If your product integrates with Microsoft ERP, the install base is your addressable market.

Recruiters

Companies running AX hire AX skills - administrators, developers and functional consultants - and that market is tight.

Marketing agencies

Technographic segments make account-based campaigns specific enough to be worth running.

Worth stating plainly: running Dynamics AX does not mean a company wants to replace it. Plenty run stable systems deliberately and will for years. An install base tells you who is worth a relevant conversation — it is a qualified starting point, not a buying signal, and treating it as one is how install-base campaigns get ignored.

Microsoft Dynamics AX Migration Opportunities

Microsoft directs Dynamics AX customers to its finance and operations apps — Dynamics 365 Finance, Supply Chain Management, Commerce and Project Operations. AX 2012 and AX 2012 R2 customers upgrade through AX 2012 R3, and AX 2009 SP1 customers use a migration tool Microsoft provides.

ERP modernization and migration

The headline project: moving finance and operations onto Dynamics 365, or onto another platform entirely. Long cycles, senior sponsors, and a decision that is already on the agenda.

Cloud and infrastructure migration

Legacy AX is usually on-premises. Moving it means server, database and hosting decisions, which often involve a different budget and a different buyer from the ERP project.

Data migration and integration

Years of transactional history has to move, and the systems around the ERP have to keep talking to it. This work is specialist and frequently outsourced separately.

Support, security and managed services

Software past extended support no longer receives security hotfixes or regulatory updates from Microsoft. Companies staying on AX for now still need it run, patched and monitored.

Install-base intelligence helps you find these companies. It does not tell you their timeline, their budget or whether they have already chosen a partner. Use it to build a relevant list, then qualify properly.

Microsoft Dynamics AX Email List

An email list of companies using Microsoft Dynamics AX is only as useful as the targeting behind it. The value is in the combination: technographic intelligence telling you which companies run the platform, and professional contact data telling you who to write to.

What you get

Business email addresses for named professionals at companies we associate with Dynamics AX, with job title, department, seniority and location attached, in a CSV or Excel file mapped to your columns.

What you do not get

Personal email addresses, shared or generic inboxes as a substitute for named contacts, or a pre-packaged file sold to everyone. Every list is built to a brief.

Responsible use. Records are acquired through the channels above and no others, and nothing comes from Microsoft or from any company’s Dynamics AX environment. EU and UK records are processed under the GDPR Article 6(1)(f) legitimate-interest basis, with CCPA opt-out handling for California and CAN-SPAM suppression on US sends. B2B data laws differ by country and by how you use the data, so your own sending practices remain your responsibility — we will tell you what we hold and on what basis, and we would rather answer a compliance question before an order than after one.

Microsoft Dynamics AX Customers List FAQs

What is a Microsoft Dynamics AX customers list?

A Microsoft Dynamics AX customers list is a technographic database of companies identified as running Microsoft Dynamics AX, together with business contact details for professionals who work at them. It combines company data, contact data and technology data in one record.

How many companies use Microsoft Dynamics AX?

There is no authoritative published total. Microsoft does not report Dynamics AX customer numbers, and technographic providers give different figures because they use different methods, cover different regions and treat historical installations and migrations differently. BizzContacts currently identifies 61K+ companies using Microsoft Dynamics AX globally.

Which companies use Microsoft Dynamics AX?

Microsoft has published Dynamics AX deployments at companies including Renault Sport Formula One Team, ShoreMaster, BRIO and Sonee Sports. Those reports are historical, and some of those companies have since moved to Dynamics 365, so treat published case studies as evidence of a past deployment rather than current usage.

What industries use Microsoft Dynamics AX?

Dynamics AX was strongest in manufacturing, wholesale distribution, retail, consumer goods, automotive, industrial equipment, food and beverage, professional services, technology, healthcare and logistics. It was built for companies with physical operations - inventory, production and supply chain - rather than for service-only companies.

Is Microsoft Dynamics AX still used?

Yes, some companies still run Dynamics AX, but it is no longer supported by Microsoft. Mainstream support for AX 2009 SP1, AX 2012 and AX 2012 R2 ended on 9 October 2018 and extended support ended on 12 April 2022. For AX 2012 R3, mainstream support ended on 12 October 2021 and extended support ended on 10 January 2023.

What replaced Microsoft Dynamics AX?

Microsoft's finance and operations apps replaced it. Microsoft directs Dynamics AX customers to upgrade to Dynamics 365 Finance, Supply Chain Management, Commerce and Project Operations. AX 2012 and AX 2012 R2 customers upgrade through AX 2012 R3, and AX 2009 SP1 customers use a migration tool.

Is Microsoft Dynamics AX the same as Dynamics 365?

No. Dynamics AX is the older on-premises ERP product; Dynamics 365 is Microsoft's current cloud application family. Dynamics AX is the direct ancestor of Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, so they share a lineage, but they are separate products with different licensing, architecture and support status.

Where can I find a list of companies using Microsoft Dynamics AX?

BizzContacts builds one to your requirements from 61K+ identified companies. You choose the countries, industries, company sizes and job titles, and we send a free sample before you order.

How many Microsoft Dynamics AX contacts does BizzContacts have?

BizzContacts holds 2.25K+ professional contacts at companies in the Dynamics AX install base, alongside 61K+ identified companies. Company coverage is much broader than contact coverage on this dataset, so we confirm how many of your target accounts carry named contacts before you order.

Can I get an email list of Microsoft Dynamics AX customers?

Yes. You get business email addresses for named professionals at companies we associate with Dynamics AX, not shared inboxes. We do not supply personal email addresses.

Does the database include Microsoft Dynamics AX decision-makers?

Yes. BizzContacts holds 2.25K+ professional contacts across this install base, with typical titles including CIO, CTO, IT Director, VP of IT, ERP Director, ERP Manager, Dynamics AX Administrator, CFO, Finance Director, Operations Director and Supply Chain Director. Not every identified company carries a contact, and not every company has every role, so we confirm what exists for your filters before you order.

Can I filter Microsoft Dynamics AX users by country?

Yes. Order one country, a group of countries or a single region. Location combines with industry, company size, revenue and job title.

Can I get a list of companies using Microsoft Dynamics AX in the USA?

Yes. The United States is one of our largest markets for this install base, and US data is drawn from the wider global database rather than sold separately. We do not publish a separate US company count, so we confirm exactly what US coverage exists for your filters before you order.

Can I filter the database by industry and company size?

Yes. Both, and they combine. You can ask for manufacturing companies of 500 to 5,000 employees in three US states, and the file will contain only those.

How often is the Microsoft Dynamics AX database updated?

Records are re-checked on an ongoing cycle rather than at a fixed interval, and each record is checked again before your file ships. The date the data behind this page was last reviewed is shown in the verification section.

Can I request a free sample?

Yes. Request a sample built to your own filters and review the data before you order. No card needed.
