The Lifecycle services team (http://lcs.dynamics.com) are doing updates about once a month so it’s worth checking back in often and seeing if there are things that you can leverage in your implementation or operation of you Dynamics AX system.

I have a couple of customers looking at the upgrade to AX2012 R3 to leverage things like the new warehouse or retail functionality. An upgrade is no doubt work. To help you plan you upgrade the upgrade tool can give you some analysis data on your model to assess the impact of an upgrade.
