John Kleb Sikich “Evangelist” “Dynamics 365 is the new world. Enterprise and Business versions. Between CRM and AX/NAV, there is not a workload Microsoft doesn't think they can handle. Workload (old name), workspace (new) are key concepts. Over time workspaces will become more separate, plug and play.” “Machine learning and cognitive intelligence will play a huge role in market competitiveness.”
