On May 21, Muhammad Alam, General Manager, Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations at Microsoft, published an article entitled, “Happy 2nd Anniversary to Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations.” In Alam’s post, he indicated that, on the same day, “James Philip, CVP of Business Applications, shared details of our Spring 2018 release, including version 8.0 of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations.” He continued: “With the Spring release, we have reached the two-year mark of the Finance and Operations initial availability to the market. As I thought about the work that has gone into this release, I wanted to take a moment to thank our customers and highlight what we have accomplished in these first two years.”

According to Alam: “With the introduction of Finance and Operations, we delivered a new, modern service that shifts from being just a system of record to a system of intelligence. We help customers share information within their organization and across their supply chain by delivering real-time intelligence and actionable, predictive insights to keep business’ competitive using embedded Power BI analytics, Cortana intelligence, and advanced IoT and machine learning technologies.”

He then cited the following highlights of the solutions over the past two years:

• Over 50 role-based insightful, customizable workspaces.
• Built 1,200 pre-defined business process flows.
• Offer over 20 Power BI content packs.
• Created task-based guided experience.
