Greetings from the Sunshine State This Fall I was fortunate enough to have chance to attend my first ever Microsoft Ignite conference in Orlando, Florida. Watch She`S Lost Control HDQ on this page. Staying true to my habits, I did tweet out quite a lot of content from the live event with MSIgnite hashtag. If you missed that stream, feel free to revisit the collection over at Storify, where I curated a story called MSIgnite 2. Business Applications. Unlike with the V9 preview, Ive decided to refrain from embedding the infinite scroll version of the story into this blog post. Youre welcome Heres a little written summary on my thoughts about the events contents. If youve been to or kept an eye on Microsoft Ignite before, youll know that its an event that has traditionally catered the more mainstream product lines like Office 3. Windows. I did not expect any major announcements from the Dynamics 3. Ignite, so my intention was to explore the broader story around MS Business Applications. Resim/yeni/surviving.jpg' alt='Watch Surviving Progress Online Facebook' title='Watch Surviving Progress Online Facebook' />Most of us who are working in cloud environments with Dynamics products must be well aware of how much there is going on around the core XRM platform still the best name for it, but rarely do we have a chance to focus on something that isnt directly linked with the salesservicemarketing processes of CRM system development projects. Thats a bit of a shame, since at the end of the day thats precisely where Microsofts big competitive advantage lies. The whole really is greater than the sum of its parts in this occasion, and if the size of the Ignite conference would be used as the yardstick, Id say the whole is actually HUGE. Sure, it wasnt anywhere near Dreamforce in terms of the attendee count, but if youre not looking for a rock festival to hang out with your business partners but rather want to deepen your understanding of the current and future capabilities of a cloud technology platform, it doesnt need to get any larger than this. I reached my 1. 0k step target each day just walking between the sessions, which tells you the Orange County Conference Center floor space was truly put into full use in trying to fit in the complete MS business technology stack. You sometimes literally had to take a shuttle bus from one side of the conference to the other to make it to the sessions in timeThe biggest piece of news for D3. Directions North America 2. Microsoft admitted that after 1 year of waiting, there was not going to be a Business Edition release of the XRM based apps at all. Or even for the ERP side of the house at least from a product naming perspective. While none of the technology investments made in preparation of Business Edition was actually cancelled, its understandable that this caused a lot of stir among the Dynamics ecosystem. Without going deeper into the topic, I believe MS made the right choice and its only a shame it took them so long after the initial Dynamics 3. While we wait for the new licensing model details, we still remain in a product naming limbo that was also very much present in any Dynamics related session at Ignite. You must remember that what were experiencing in the XRM space aint nowhere near the amount of confusion that our ERP colleagues must go through. Godspeed, Dynamics X Of course the story is no longer just centered around what to call your CRM ERP platforms. In practically all the Ignite sessions that touched my field of work, the solutions being demonstrated were always mashups of several MS technologies. Clearly the intention was to underline the possibilities of seamless integration between the latest cloud apps from almost any two product teams. Yeah, I hate the word buzzword seamless as much as any experienced IT consultant does, but my point is that it seems like the phase of inventing new MS cloud products has reached an end and now the focus is truly on ensuring they can connect with one another. This also means challenging the assumptions of what the role of each product is in the customers solution architecture. Instead of using XRM as the UI for business data presentation, could a better result be reached via a Power BI dashboard that has embedded Visio process visualization and Power. Apps screens with record level drill down Possibly yes, and these alternatives are what MS wants us to actively explore. Watch CHIPS Online Hoyts'>Watch CHIPS Online Hoyts. The floor space given to Power. Apps at Ignite 2. Business Applications track. Maybe it was just my session schedule planning, but it felt like all roads eventually lead to Power. Apps. Its of course a very neat way to demonstrate the benefits of having your business data in systems that are easily accessible by these low codeno code apps. What was somewhat confusing to hear, though, was that the current UI first approach of designing Power. Apps on a free canvas was promised to get a new model driven app design option alongside it. You know, with entity based forms, server side business logic and even Business Process Flows. Watch Stonerville Online here. But wait, werent those the defining characteristics of an XRM app Bingo. It literally was a set of Dynamics CRM customization UI screenshots snatched into a Power. Apps roadmap presentation. These two paths are converging quickly now and youre going to want to keep an eye on what the next chapter in the Business Applications has in store for us. Ill need to go lie down in a brief coma now to recover from the jetlag caused by a Miami Helsinki flight cheers to Finnair for offering the direct connection, though. I promise make a return with part 2 in a few days time, as there is a lot more souvenir sweets to digest from Microsoft Ignite 2.
