Business as we know it is changing. Competitive advantage is shifting toward organizations that can harness AI to fundamentally changing the patterns of how work gets done. This enables frontier firms<\/a> to innovate faster, reduce friction in execution, and dynamically respond to changing conditions in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are seeing new AI-assisted scenarios across Dynamics 365<\/a> apps and Power Platform<\/a>, from natural language queries to automated decision-making. As a direct result, Microsoft Dataverse<\/a>, the underlying data platform for Dynamics 365 and Power Platform, is seeing rapid growth in metadata, solution artifacts, and contextual data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This shift is driving a new class of workloads that require significantly more storage capacity than traditional systems. As a direct result, we received customer feedback that over time the base entitlement for business apps was not sufficient to get started, which was a hinderance to innovation. Starting in December, we are implementing two updates to address customer concerns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Increasing baseline Dataverse capacity across business applications (Dynamics 365 and Power Platform)<\/strong>. This includes an increase to tenant included capacity (specifics can be found on page 43 of the December Issue of the Dynamics 365 Licensing Guide<\/a> under “Default subscription capacity included per tenant”). These changes ensure customers have the headroom to scale new scenarios without hitting limits. Whether you’re building Copilot experiences, orchestrating workflows, or enabling agentic apps, Dataverse now provides flexibility and capacity to support your innovation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Simplifying the overall storage entitlement across Dataverse and Dynamics 365 ERP<\/a> applications <\/strong>to make capacity planning easier. This flexibility creates the foundation needed for agentic ERP at scale.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Impact on your Dynamics 365 ERP data storage licensing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For ERP customers using Dynamics 365 Finance<\/a> and Operations apps, the key update is that default storage capacity is increasing and will now be reported as a shared entitlement across both the ERP operational store and Dataverse. This change gives customers greater flexibility to allocate storage where it\u2019s needed most. Instead of managing separate pools, customers can now apply their storage entitlements seamlessly as ERP workloads grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
