The days of Dynamics CRM as a sales-only-system are long gone.
With the consolidation of technologies, Microsoft now offers a tightly connected Business Application Platform, uniting CRM, XRM, ERP and Analytics within one common technology stack, all implementing the Common Data Model with the information accessible through the Common Data Service.
The addition of no-code and low-code tools to create task-focused apps and information flows truly empowers IT pros and employees to tailor their everyday work to perfection.
But what about governance, how do you manage all these newborn citizen developers?

Business Process Flow
Dynamics 365, we have services that are sort of mapped to this feedback loop with marketing and sales allowing us to engage customers intelligently, service sort of in the middle. It's where products, service, and people come together to make customers successful with our operations and finance offerings on the product side, with IoT, and Talent -- Dynamics 365 for Talent on the people side.
But it's not just Dynamics. Again, all of our assets come together as a company to allow our customers to go on this digital transformation journey. This resonates. It's incredible how sort of we hypothesize that this collection of assets that we have will be meaningful to customers. It's another thing to hear customers time and time and time again say back to us, "This is what we want." Super powerful collection, and Dynamics 365 in many ways is the fastest path to digital transformation.
It allows customers to specifically target business processes with out-of-the-box functionality, out-of-the-box logic, without the need to write everything from scratch. And so a very quick win from a digital transformation perspective across all of these business processes across this entire spectrum.

Create apps around forms and business logic
In addition to Canvas apps Model Driven apps allow fully metadata driven applications revolving around lists, forms and business logic.
Process driven user experiences
Visually construct processes to model their organization’s best practices. Every business user follows standardized processes using rich controls in their applications.
Rich, responsive client experiences Metadata in Model driven apps enables coherent user experiences across form factors. Responsive UI automatically reflows based on the space available. Controls will intelligently render appropriately on each client.
Immersive integrations
Use Excel, Word, OneNote, Microsoft Social Engagement, Power BI, LinkedIn, and more directly embedded within model-driven applications for contextual information.
Mobile support
Use Dynamics data on the go via rich adaptive mobile applications across devices
Single, “no-cliffs”, high productivity app platform across Microsoft
Extend Office 365 and Dynamics 365, as well as easily integrate with Azure and its services through a single platform that supports the broad needs of LOB apps from simple custom SPO forms to powerful SI solutions. Use a rich gallery of pre-built apps across devices and form factors
“True WYSIWYG”: use the app while building it
Creators work with live data and can directly use the app as they work, getting instant feedback that helps build great user experiences faster and more intuitively for business developers. Composite controls with layouts
Adding galleries, data tables, and form controls then choosing from provided layouts makes adding rich UI components a breeze.
Powerful connector eco system to 190+ services and on-premises
Build applications and workflows that easily connect to the places where your data is and the broad landscape of Microsoft and 3rd party services; easily add custom connectors including to on-premises system through the included Gateway.
Embed apps in Outlook
Model driven apps are embedded in Outlook for increased productivity on the go. Users can track emails and view Dynamics data inside of their Outlook app – desktop, web or mobile
Customize SharePoint forms
Canvas apps are a first-class part of the SharePoint Online experience. Customers can quickly customize standard forms on any SharePoint list, auto-generate rich mobile apps, and automate workflow and approval processes – all directly from within SharePoint.
Embed apps in Power BI, Teams, and beyond
The pattern established with SharePoint is rolling out across the Microsoft ecosystem. Extend Power BI, Teams, and more using canvas applications
MIKE
A single business platform, also means there should be no 'cliffs'
We will support the whole range, from simple point and click point forms customization to building full range sophisticated line of business apps
There is a 'smooth curve' to add sophistication where needed, from simple expression, all the way complex functions through embedded pro dev code, by for example integration with Azure Function
