Microsoft Dynamics 365 For Dummies

My purchase was help get a better understanding of the current Dynamics 365 offering. The information was very well organized with chapters summarizing the different components. The details included software origins, features, and basic navigation which was great. The sections of the book make it easy to look back on details when discussing business requirements.

very easy to follow and gives a very good idea for what to expect or learn to become an expert in Dynamics 365

I thought this could help me at work. I was wrong. This book is more about setting up D365.

This book is about how to convert your existing CRM/ERP/Whatever to Dynamics and barely touches on the end use. It spends way too much time on the history and evolution of Microsoft's CRM platforms (which is a snooze and hardly useful) and then addresses the present as an afterthought. When it does provide instructions for actually using the tools available in Dynamics, it's mostly admin type functions. Disappointed.

This is a terrible book for Dummies, not the easy to follow guide. Author goes into history of the program and other useless drivel. Font is smaller due to the extra baloney, I'm sure.Save your money.

Very easy read

Genau das Richtige für den Einstieg

Really well written book for understanding the fundamentals and the back history (for example: Dynamics AX/NAV/GP/SL). Sadly the content is largely out of date in late 2020.. Microsoft keeps changing the name of the products which makes D365 quite confusing. Common Data Service is now called Dataverse. Finance and Operations now split into Finance & Supply Chain Management. Talent is now Human Resources, Retail is now Commerce. CRM & Customer Engagement is gone and now split into Marketing, Sales, Service (Customer & Field). Project Service Automation is now Project Operations. The Power Platform stuff is useful although Ms Flow is now Power Automate. The issues from Microsoft are endless and the constant renaming is not helping their cause. I'm a Solution Architect so looking at the solutions and capabilities which the book is great for if your coming at it from this angle. If you're developing or administering D365 it's not ideal but there are other more specific books for that.

When looking at Dynamics 365 I bought a copy for myself. After reading it I bought a copy of each of the executive sponsors and high level stakeholders.
