The official announcement and blog posts from Mike Ehrenberg,  and Christian Pedersen provide full details about this exciting new release including:

  • New user experience – looks and works like Microsoft Office with deep integration into Dynamics AX, Dynamics CRM and Office 365.  Near-real-time analytics powered by Azure Machine Learning, data visualisation with Power BI embedded within the application, fully browser-based, HTML5 client. 
  • Enhanced implementation & management – enhanced capabilities of Azure-based service Microsoft Life Cycle Services (LCS) transforming the application lifecycle management of a Dynamics AX project.
  • Power of the cloud – on the Microsoft Azure platform this release brings the benefits of the cloud - simple signup, immediate provisioning, and built-in high availability and disaster recovery, elastic capacity to add resources but only pay for them when they are being used.
