Microsoft has recently (1st Nov 2016) announced the availability of Dynamics 365. This is a huge step and exciting too. With the launch of Dynamics 365 all CRM & ERP related apps (on cloud) will be accessible from one portal.
In this blog, I will be taking you through all you need to know about Dynamics 365

What Editions are available?
Based on the number of employees in an organization, editions are classified into:
Dynamics 365 Business (10-250 employees/users)
Dynamics 365 Enterprise (250 and above employees/users)
What is the difference between Business & Enterprise editions?
Business edition comes with all 8 applications included while Enterprise does not include Financials. I guess, Enterprise edition does not include ‘Financials’ based on the assumption that a larger organization would require a full fledged financial system.
Enterprise edition also includes availability of Powerapps, which is not there for Business Edition
How about licensing and prices?
