In this very first chapter of this book, we started with learning about Microsoft Dynamics 365 and all of the different products that are part of it. We also briefly learned about all of the product offerings, different plans, buying, and trial options. Then, we shifted the focus to Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, which is the primary focus of this book, and we explored its history and key highlights.
In a nutshell, Dynamics 365 is a solution approach with a unified platform and data model. It's an end-to-end full -suite business application in the cloud. It's a win-win for customers, advisors, partners, and Microsoft, as they have enabled different channels of development, for example, drag-and-drop/wizard-like building capabilities for business users and analysts as well as pure development on Visual Studio, .NET, and BizTalk.
We look forward to Microsoft Dynamics 365 creating infinite possibilities and allowing organizations to leverage their finite resources and fixed timelines to be able to achieve more.
In the next chapter, we will start our journey of implementing Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations and learn about the implementation methodology and tools.
