[av_dropcap1]D[/av_dropcap1]ynamics 365 will be re-positioned Spring 2018 to help both SMB customers and Enterprise customers with simplified processes for procuring and launching Dynamics 365, according to Microsoft.
In order to simplify the Dynamics 365 offering and improve ease of selection, Microsoft will offer D365 as a single collection of applications, including marketing, sales, service, finance, operations, and talent .
“Instead of offering separate editions (e.g. ‘Business edition’ and ‘Enterprise edition’), we will focus on enabling any organization to choose from different price points for each line of business application, based on the level of capabilities and capacity they need to meet their specific needs,” said Alysa Taylor, General Manager, Business Apps & Strategy for Microsoft in a recent blog post. “For example, in Spring 2018, Dynamics 365 for Sales will offer additional price point(s) with different level(s) of functionality.”
