With the upcoming release of Wave 2, a major update to Dynamics 365, we thought we’d cover 12 key facts about the platform…

Each year, Microsoft schedule two major releases, alongside weekly updates that continually improve and extend the capabilities of D365; resulting in the platform constantly being improved and developed.

Dynamics 365 offers extensive reporting capabilities. The Report Wizard is available within the Customer Engagement apps and allows users to easily create reports within a few steps.

Fact 12:

Customer Insights connects transactional, observational, and behavioral data from various sources to create a 360-degree view of the customer in one, single dashboard. Businesses save time as a result as they are not switching between different applications to gather data and can see all data relating to their customers in one place.
