From Hesitation to Momentum: 6 Lessons from STAEDEAN’s First Half of 2025

marketing@to-increase.com (Luciano Cunha) — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 11:15:44 GMT

The first half of 2025 hit differently than I expected. When the year started, I thought we might finally see some stability after years of geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and market volatility. I was wrong. If anything, the world seemed to get pulled in even more directions, political instability deepened, and economic signals stayed mixed.

What struck me most wasn't just external chaos, but how it affected the people I spoke with daily: our customers, partners, and prospects. In every conversation, I could feel the weight of indecision. Projects were paused, budgets frozen, and teams were stuck in analysis paralysis. Yet somehow, STAEDEAN achieved double-digit growth in new orders during this period. Looking back, I think I understand why and there are lessons here worth sharing.

Independent Software Vendor (ISV) solutions for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management offer enterprise-ready solutions. These are tailored to specific industries or business needs. These solutions leverage existing Dynamics 365 capabilities while building on them and extending the capabilities of Dynamics 365. They offer solutions that allow you to skip the never-ending development-test-change-deploy-maintain cycle, which is resource, time, and cost-intensive.

ISV solutions offer several advantages, including access to specialized functionality, faster deployment, lower total cost of ownership and reduced risk during an ERP implementation. As Microsoft’s enterprise tech ecosystem evolves with the rollout of AI Agents and a shift toward autonomous ERP, Solution Architects and ERP Consultants need to be agile and onboard ISV solutions that help them scale with speed.

Are you looking at an AX 2012 upgrade to Dynamics 365?

Louay Almardeni — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 10:23:14 GMT

If your organization is aiming to stay competitive and leverage newer technologies in the long run, now might be the ideal time to consider transitioning from a legacy ERP system, such as Dynamics AX 2012, to the advanced Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management (D365 F&SCM) ERP system. Microsoft’s mainstream support for AX customers is no longer available, making this transition crucial. Moreover, you'll save on infrastructure costs, enjoy easier and faster reporting, and have a wider array of integration options.

At STAEDEAN, we build solutions for both Dynamics AX 2012 and Dynamics 365 F&SCM, and we understand the benefits of moving to the latest version of the Dynamics 365 ERP and have also helped companies with data migration from ax 2012 to dynamics 365 our Data Migration Solution for D365 F&SCM.

So, if you use AX 2012 and are hesitant to switch to Dynamics 365, we can make it easier for you. Below we share the challenges in AX 2012 and the benefits of moving to D365 F&SCM.
