Today at Microsoft Inspire, our largest annual partner event, we are introducing a host of new offerings<\/a> designed to expand opportunity for our global partner community.  As a part of this motion, we’re excited today to share more information about new ways ISVs can build intelligent apps with us<\/a>, and we’re also happy to announce the general availability of Microsoft Dynamics 365, July 2017 update.<\/p>\n

At our recent Business Forward events<\/a> in New York and in London, senior leaders from our company talked about how Dynamics 365 can be a digital transformation accelerant. With Dynamics 365 July update, we continue our journey with Dynamics 365 to deliver modern, intelligent services that connect all the data across your enterprise, and help you make better, faster decisions to achieve optimal outcomes.<\/p>\n

Our goal is to empower lines of business with purpose-built applications that allow any organization to start based on organizational needs and scale on demand, adding additional solutions over time.<\/p>\n

For our Enterprise edition, this month we will expand our purpose-built application portfolio with general availability of new applications and solutions for our customers to: provide a more customer centric retail experience; to better access and nurture the best talent resources; and to dramatically increase the effectiveness of the sales organization. We’re also excited to announce the preview of new applications for sales and marketing in our Business edition, optimized for small and medium sized businesses.<\/p>\n

While continually enhancing our portfolio of applications, we are also expanding the availability of these services into new data centers and introducing new Hybrid options.<\/p>\n

With relationship-centered insights, sellers can deliver the authentic and personal engagement that today’s buyers demand, at scale. The solution brings together disparate data across CRM, social networks, and productivity systems, such as Office 365 and LinkedIn so sellers can finally make sense of the data they already have and unify the sales experience around relationships.<\/p>\n

We’re also making it easier for customers to take advantage of this solution by introducing a single offer that brings together LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Dynamics 365 for Sales<\/b> that is roughly half the cost of competitive solutions in the market. <\/p>\n

Dynamics 365 for Retail<\/b> <\/a>is designed to provide retailers with an integrated end-to-end view of their operations with centralized management and clear visibility across stores, employees, customers, inventory, and financials.  This new application will be generally available later this month, providing retailers with:\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
