Learn the fundamentals of Dynamics 365 projects
Every business uses technology in some capacity. There are apps to track the relationships, engagement, and delivery of products or services to an organization’s customers. These are loosely referred to as business applications or business management software. These apps are used by people touching the sales, marketing, customer service, finance, and supply chain within an organization.
Organizations need qualified professionals to use, maintain, configure, customize, and build these apps.
Microsoft has a collection of Business Applications available for organizations of all sizes. These apps can work out-of-the-box, and many of the apps allow customizations to meet all customers’ needs. Some customizations are simple, while others require deep technical knowledge. Most are somewhere in between.
The person who can be the bridge between a company and the technology is, and will continue to be, in high demand. Learn more here about the skills needed to do become a Business Applications professional.
