Key concepts of the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 user experience

With the release of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, a new user experience, based on customer-research, has been designed to be powerful enough for user productivity and yet simple enough for new and existing users to quickly ramp up on using the software.

During the development of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, hundreds of research studies with thousands of participants drove dozens of design iterations to focus on making the new user experience both powerful and simple.
