Why Dynamics 365 is a Game Changer

In just a few weeks, Microsoft Dynamics 365 will take center stage and showcase the unification of our current Dynamics CRM and ERP Cloud solutions into one cloud service with new purpose-built applications and built-in insights and intelligence. With core business apps (focusing on Sales, Field Service, Customer Service, Project Service Automation, Marketing, and Operations), analytics from Cortana Intelligence and Power BI, and the productivity power of Office 365, this new approach is more than a game changer. It will be the framework that will help grow your business in FY17 and beyond. [More]
