Enterprise AI Operating Infrastructure
BrainPack + Dynamics 365
Deploy an AI-powered operating layer directly on top of your Dynamics environment - Business Central, Finance & Operations, NAV, AX, or GP. No migration. No disruption. Everything Dynamics does today keeps running - with new capabilities on top.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV has reached end of mainstream support. Dynamics AX 2012 is in extended support with no new features. Dynamics GP has entered its final lifecycle phase. Microsoft's roadmap points to Business Central and Finance & Operations - but migration projects are complex, expensive, and disruptive. BrainPack offers a third option: don't migrate. Elevate.
How BrainPack Connects to Dynamics 365
BrainPack integrates with the entire Microsoft Dynamics ecosystem at the data and process layer - not as a bolt-on, not as middleware that complicates your stack. Direct connection to the Dynamics products your organization already runs. The integration engine connects through multiple channels simultaneously:
OData & REST APIs
Native API layer for Business Central and Dynamics 365 F&O. Structured, standards-based, and optimized for real-time data exchange. Read and write business entities, trigger workflows, and query transactional data through modern RESTful endpoints.
SOAP Web Services
Standard integration channel for NAV, AX, and legacy Dynamics environments. BrainPack connects through published SOAP endpoints to access pages, codeunits, and queries without custom development inside the ERP.
SQL Direct & Database Connector
Direct read access to the underlying SQL Server database for NAV, AX, GP, and on-premise Dynamics environments. Reporting, analytics, and AI model training without impacting transactional performance.
Native Extension Frameworks (AL, X++, eConnect)
Code-level integration through each Dynamics product's native extension model. AL extensions and event subscribers for Business Central, upgrade-safe and aligned with Microsoft's modern architecture. X++ service operations and Business Connector for AX and F&O, covering Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Project Accounting. eConnect APIs and Integration Manager for GP, with bidirectional data exchange across GL, Purchasing, Sales, Inventory, and Payroll.
BrainPack does not require changes to your Dynamics configuration. The integration layer deploys alongside Dynamics, reading and writing through established interfaces. Your Dynamics environment continues to operate exactly as it does today. BrainPack's integration approach operates within Microsoft's standard interface guidelines, without triggering additional Dynamics licensing requirements.

What BrainPack Unlocks on Top of Dynamics
Once connected, your Dynamics environment becomes the foundation for capabilities that Dynamics alone cannot deliver:
Real-time Inventory Intelligence
Query Dynamics inventory data using natural language. Get live answers with visual breakdowns - pulled directly from NAV Item Ledger, BC Inventory, or F&O Warehouse Management.
Explore Inventory SolutionsAutomated Purchase Orders
BrainPack monitors stock levels, demand signals, and supplier data across Dynamics and triggers purchase requisitions automatically - whether you run Business Central, NAV, or F&O Procurement.
AI Dashboards on Dynamics Data
Generate dashboards and reports through conversation. BrainPack queries Dynamics General Ledger, Sales, and Purchasing and builds the visualization in seconds - beyond what Power BI alone can deliver with conversational AI.
Explore AI DashboardsCross-system Workflows
Connect Dynamics processes to systems Microsoft never designed to talk to - your Salesforce CRM, non-Microsoft eCommerce platform, WhatsApp channels, external payroll system, or a second ERP running SAP or Oracle.
Explore CRM IntegrationNatural Language Access to Dynamics
Anyone in the organization can query Dynamics data without Dynamics training, without RTC or web client navigation, without custom reports. Ask a question across any Dynamics product. Get an answer.
Explore BrainPack AIModern Applications on Dynamics Data
Build HR portals, CRM, customer-facing dashboards, agent tools, and mobile applications that read and write to Dynamics - without modifying Dynamics itself. Go beyond the limitations of the native client.
Explore More SolutionsDon't Migrate Away From Dynamics. Elevate It.
Dynamics migration projects - whether from NAV to Business Central, AX to Finance & Operations, or GP to any modern alternative - are consistently underestimated. They take 6-18 months, cost significantly more than budgeted, and frequently deliver less functionality than the system they replaced.
Your Dynamics environment is not the problem. It is years of institutional knowledge encoded in configurations, customizations, workflows, and data structures. Organizations that run on NAV or AX have often invested a decade or more of process logic into that system. Every custom report, every modified page, every integration - that is your operational DNA. BrainPack does not throw it away - it builds on top of it.
Microsoft's lifecycle policies are clear: NAV and AX are legacy. GP is winding down. But for thousands of organizations, the cost and risk of migration outweigh the benefits - especially when the migration delivers a system that needs to be re-customized from scratch.
BrainPack offers a third path: keep Dynamics running, deploy an AI-powered operating layer on top, and gain every modern capability the organization needs - without the risk, cost, or disruption of migration.

Dynamics Integration in Production
BrainPack infrastructure is deployed on Dynamics environments in production today:
A national chain with 90+ locations running Dynamics NAV deployed BrainPack to unify HR operations - recruitment, attendance, scheduling, and payroll - replacing 4 disconnected tools. NAV continued running untouched.
Multi-ERP environments including Dynamics connected alongside SAP, Oracle, or other systems - operating as one unified layer.
Connectivity established in weeks. Zero downtime. Zero configuration changes inside Dynamics.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. BrainPack deploys on top of Dynamics. Your Dynamics environment - whether Business Central, F&O, NAV, AX, or GP - continues to operate exactly as it does today. BrainPack adds an AI-powered operating layer that reads and writes to Dynamics through established interfaces. Nothing in Dynamics is modified, replaced, or migrated.
No. BrainPack connects through Dynamics' standard interfaces - OData, REST APIs, SOAP Web Services, AL extensions, eConnect, or SQL depending on your product. No custom development inside Dynamics required. The integration layer deploys alongside Dynamics without touching the core system.
BrainPack connects to Dynamics 365 Business Central (cloud and on-premise), Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Dynamics NAV (all versions through 2018), Dynamics AX (2009, 2012, 2012 R2/R3), and Dynamics GP (2015, 2016, 2018). If your version is not listed, contact us - we likely support it.
Initial connection to Dynamics typically completes within 2-4 weeks. This includes establishing API or database connections, mapping relevant data objects, and deploying the first operational capabilities. Full infrastructure deployment follows the BPU capacity model and evolves continuously.
Dynamics NAV has reached end of mainstream support. Microsoft's roadmap points to Business Central. BrainPack offers an alternative: keep NAV running, deploy modern AI capabilities on top, and gain the innovation that NAV alone cannot deliver - without the complexity and cost of a Business Central migration.
BrainPack is not a replacement for Business Central. It is an alternative to the migration itself. Organizations that deploy BrainPack on top of NAV gain modern AI capabilities, cross-system integration, and new application layers - all without the risk, cost, and disruption of a full Business Central migration. NAV customizations in C/AL do not need to be rewritten. If the organization later decides to migrate, BrainPack infrastructure remains in place and reconnects to Business Central.
Dynamics AX 2012 is in extended support with no new features. Microsoft replaced AX with Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations. BrainPack connects to both - so organizations still running AX can gain modern capabilities immediately without waiting for (or committing to) a Finance & Operations migration.
No. BrainPack uses Dynamics' standard APIs and read-optimized database connections. For reporting and analytics, BrainPack connects to read-only replicas or secondary database instances to ensure zero impact on Dynamics transactional performance.
BrainPack connects across Dynamics modules including General Ledger, Sales & Receivables, Purchase & Payables, Inventory, Warehouse, Manufacturing, Jobs/Projects, HR, and Fixed Assets. For F&O: Supply Chain Management, Production Control, and Project Accounting. The integration scope expands with your BPU allocation as new capabilities are built.
Yes. BrainPack routinely connects to multiple Dynamics products within the same organization - for example, Business Central for a subsidiary while the parent company runs F&O, or NAV for finance while GP handles a US division. The operating layer unifies data across all Dynamics products into a single intelligence layer.
Dynamics GP remains in production in thousands of US-based organizations. Microsoft has signaled its end-of-life trajectory, but no immediate shutdown date has been announced. BrainPack connects to GP via eConnect, Integration Manager, and SQL Direct - giving GP organizations modern AI capabilities without forcing a premature migration decision.
BrainPack connects through Dynamics' standard interfaces (OData, REST, SOAP, SQL) and operates within Microsoft's standard integration guidelines. The integration approach is designed to avoid triggering additional Dynamics 365 user or capacity licensing. For organizations with specific Microsoft licensing concerns, BrainPack architects design the connectivity to align with your existing licensing structure.
Microsoft Dynamics Copilot provides AI assistance within the Dynamics 365 interface - helping with tasks like drafting emails, summarizing records, and generating reports inside Dynamics. BrainPack operates at a different level: it deploys an AI operating layer across your entire technology stack, connecting Dynamics to SAP, Oracle, spreadsheets, payroll systems, eCommerce, and any other system - and enabling natural language queries, automated workflows, and custom applications across all of them. Copilot enhances Dynamics. BrainPack connects Dynamics to everything else.
