Dynamics 365 comprises a few standard elements working together to achieve the system's functionality. These include (but are not limited to) the elements we will be covering in the following sections.
Modular design
As seen earlier in this chapter, modules are groups of functionalities that serve a specific business scope. The standard modules in the previous versions provided by Microsoft include Sales, Service, and Marketing. Since then, new modules have been added, as we've seen previously.
This modularity has been driven by the need to provide a unified model for partners and ISVs to further extend the platform with custom functionality. Microsoft took the first step by not only providing modular capabilities to the platform but also redesigning its original application to take advantage of this new model. Hence, now all modules leveraging the Unified Interface are built to leverage the new modular model.
