Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services (LCS)

  • 發行項

On behalf of the Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services (LCS) team, I am pleased to announce the release of LCS v1!

LCS is designed to manage and optimize customer implementations – powered by Azure. The customer creates project workspaces for implementation, upgrade and maintenance activities, and will invite implementation experts from partner organizations and Microsoft into these workspaces for the execution of related activities. Partners will be able to create projects for learning and presales purposes. This enables partners to build out expertise around LCS, and demonstrate this in sales cycles.

Take it for a test drive @ https://lifecycleservices.dynamics.com
