WPC 2016 is the biggest partner event of the year: three days of Vision Keynotes delivered by Microsoft executives and industry leaders.
Here you can find some of the major announcement about the Microsoft vision for the coming year.

Satya Nadella announced Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft AppSource will be available this fall.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 will unify the current Microsoft CRM and ERP cloud solutions into one cloud service with new purpose-built apps to help manage specific business functions.
Microsoft AppSource will be Microsoft’s new destination for business users to find and try out line-of-business Saas apps from Microsoft partners.

WPC featured a number of Digital Transformation sessions that showed how to use technology to help customers empower their employees, optimize operations and market more effectively.

Scott Guthrie, Vice President of the Cloud and Enterprise Group, talked about ‘a generational shift’ of organizations seeking to move their business to the cloud: the Microsoft Cloud represents the best choise to satisfy that demand with more trusted-cloud certifications than any other provider, unique hybrid capability, and the opportunity for partners to own the cloud journey for their customers end-to-end through the Cloud Solution Provider program.

It was also announced that, starting later this year, Windows 10 Enterprise E3 for CSP will enable businesses to get enterprise-grade security and management at just US$7 a seat per month for the first time through the Cloud Solution Provider channel. This means that partners selling through CSP will now be able to offer their customers our full stack of services and subscriptions, including Windows 10, Office 365, Microsoft Azure, and CRM subscriptions through a single partner with one user account, one point of contact for support and one simplified bill.

 

Microsoft announced a new offering called Dynamics 365 that will combine its current ERP and CRM cloud services into a single bundle and include applications purpose-built for specific business functions.

Due to be available this fall, Dynamics 365 will feature apps for functions including financials, field service, sales, operations, marketing, project service automation and customer service. The apps can be independently deployed, allowing users to buy only what they need.

Microsoft’s Power BI and Cortana Intelligence tools will be natively embedded for predictive capabilities. With Cortana Intelligence, for instance, sales reps will be able to predict which products and services a customer will need next, thereby helping to focus their cross-selling efforts.

Dynamics 365 will also be tightly integrated with Office 365. Apps will use a common data model that’s shared with Office 365, and they’ll also come with connectors that let you integrate with applications and services from Microsoft and its partners, including custom APIs and on-premises systems.

Microsoft announced the availability later this year of its true SaaS (Software as a Service) offering, currently called Project Madeira. This is the first true ERP cloud offering from Microsoft, meaning it is multi-tenant, running on Azure. That in itself is exciting. But what is even more exciting is the integration with Microsoft Office, specifically Outlook, whether you are using the cloud version (Office 365) or the desktop version.

During a brief demonstration of Madeira, Microsoft showed us the ability to act on an email within Outlook to create a quote and respond to a prospect in less than a minute. Contacts can also be created easily from within Outlook. Interacting with suppliers can be accomplished by seeing “Vendor history” in the Madeira window within Outlook. Additionally, since Madeira is “contact sensitive”, when entering the email of a person already in Madeira, the information associated with that email will be surfaced in Outlook.

This is a game changer for productivity. No more logging into two systems, switching back and forth between Outlook and ERP to get your work done. Full business processes can be completed entirely in Outlook. More sophisticated tasks will be completed within the web client.

Microsoft is offering free access to Madeira before it is available for purchase. They would like feedback to incorporate into the solution before it is released. You can even import your data so you can see it in action with your company data!

Here are more details:

  • Project Madeira is only a SaaS solution – All other Dynamics ERP solutions still have a place in the Microsoft ecosystem (not everyone is ready to move to a cloud solution for business management). This is a separate product line.
  • Microsoft has already developed data migration tools for Excel and QuickBooks.
  • The functionality includes more than GL/AP/AR (details forthcoming closer to release date).
  • Project Madeira will be made generally available (GA) in the second half of calendar year 2016.
  • The target market for Madeira are companies requiring 10-99 users. While Madeira will scale above and below; this is a market Microsoft sees as underserved by ERP providers.
  • Madeira will be sold through Microsoft Cloud Service Partners (CSPs).
  • Extensions will be built by partners, certified, and available through a marketplace.
  • Pricing and licensing will be made available closer to release date.

This is a great opportunity for anyone considering moving from Excel, QuickBooks, or local accounting system to get a preview of Madeira and provide their feedback to Microsoft before the product is released.
