Course Overview
The Application Integration Framework in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 by Microsoft is a specialized training program designed for IT professionals seeking to master system integration within the Dynamics AX 2012 environment. This course prepares candidates for the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Installation and Configuration Certification Exam (MB6-872), a credential that validates expertise in deploying and managing enterprise-level ERP integrations. Targeted at roles such as Integration Consultants, Technical Consultants, and Senior Developers, the program equips learners with the skills to design and implement seamless data exchanges between Dynamics AX 2012 and external systems. According to industry analysis, over 60% of large enterprises using legacy ERP systems require ongoing integration support, making this expertise highly sought after in manufacturing, logistics, and financial services sectors.
Participants engage with core Microsoft technologies including Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Application Integration Framework (AIF), Integration Ports, Document Services, Custom Services, and System Services such as the Metadata and Query Services. The hands-on lab environment, based on the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 platform, allows students to configure inbound and outbound message exchanges using adapters like NetTcp, File System, and Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ). A key project involves creating a synchronous document exchange between BizTalk Server and AIF, simulating real-world scenarios where order data is securely transferred from an external partner system into Dynamics AX. Learners also implement change tracking, secure service endpoints, and deploy custom services using the AIF Document Service Wizard, gaining practical experience in end-to-end integration workflows.
This course directly supports preparation for the MB6-872 certification, which is recognized across the Microsoft partner ecosystem as a benchmark for ERP integration proficiency. Certified professionals report average salary ranges between $100,000 and $140,000 annually, with senior roles in enterprise consulting commanding higher compensation. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Microsoft courseware, and access to expert instructors with real-world implementation experience. Upon completion, graduates are positioned to lead integration initiatives, support legacy ERP environments, or transition into modern Dynamics 365 F&SCM projects, ensuring long-term career relevance in enterprise application architecture.
