Dataverse instead of CDS, tables instead of entities, Customer Insights instead of... Customer Insights. Don't get too attached to any particular name in the Power Platform and BizApps world, as the only constant here is change.
Video of my presentation from Microsoft Ignite 2020 event: "How Power Platform Now Empowers All Microsoft Teams Users".
Teams started out as a pure collaboration tool, but it's now becoming a platform for no-code, low-code and pro-code business apps. Here's an analysis of the potential impact Teams will have for Power Platform and Microsoft 365 application development.
Due to trademark issues, Microsoft had to back off from their plans to rebrand CDS as "Dataflex". How does something like this even happen?
How did the outside world react to Microsoft's announcement of Dataflex and what questions should we focus on after the dust settles from Inspire 2020.
The low-code platform from Microsoft is becoming an increasingly mature foundation for business apps of all shapes and sizes, based on this latest roadmap. Uniting citizen dev & pro dev tools and offering pahts from Power Platform tools to Azure is a common theme in 2020 Wave 2.
Application Lifecycle Management often deals with tools and concepts from the pro-developer world that aren't necessarily easy to apply as-is to the new world of low-code applications. What do you need to consider in your ALM strategy to align it with the citizen developer language and mindset?
Looking back at what we expected from the emerging Social CRM landscape 10 years ago and what actually happened. A journey through Microsoft's efforts in embedding social into the core features of what still used to be called Dynamics CRM.
After nearly two decades of trying to bring Microsoft's ERP and CRM systems closer together, there is now finally a standard mechanism for moving data in near real-time between Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations apps and Common Data Service. What does having ERP data available in CDS mean for business applications customization and new app experiences?
The revenue growth from Microsoft's cloud business across Azure, Office and Dynamics is not slowing down, based on the recent quarterly results. But how will they keep up this momentum in the future? In the earnings call Satya Nadella talks about one key concept we can expect to hear a lot more in the future: Customer Data Platform (CDP).
