Actually - the first post was correct - the name has no meaning - that's the way it was designed - From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yusuf Mukadam Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2008 10:23 PM To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: {Disarmed} RE: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Re: Origin of the Axapta Name? One info I had received from one ex-Navision guys was that the first name the agency came up with was Xapta. There was no "A". When the name was seen in a list of software list sorted alphabetically, it appeared at the end because it started with "X", so they thought of adding "A" to it so that it comes early in the list. That is how the name "Axapta" came in.

Hi I don't know this firsthand. But I remember reading on technet (this is old Ax support forum, does not exist today) that the guys paid a fortune to an agency to come up with a name that does not mean anything in any language but sounds good and professional. Axapta was the choice.

While it is probably a bit late now, thanks very much for the feedback. I like the Damgaard brother one and will run with that until I hear otherwise. I've had a couple of years away from Axapta but am now back involved. And I have to agree with the customers wanting to have understanding of the name and a need to feel ownership with it - I have to say I feel that way myself.
