Blog Post: Release, Roadmap and New Features for Dynamics 365 Business Central (Day 1 Directions NA)

Directions North America has started its first day with a boom of news for the Dynamics 365 Business Central on-prem and cloud. Let’s see what we have so far: Release date Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premise will be released October 1 st , 2018. As you read my post, it’s probably already available. New Features “It’s all in the little details” – said Jannik Bausager while presenting the new features for Business Central. And he couldn’t be more right. You can now multiselect lines, copy-paste them to excel and from excel, use shortcuts for search (f3) and our favorite function to copy the field from line above (f8). There’s also a handy search now available (alt+q) to not only search for pages but also for the actions in pages. Some of the other features in an image below: Roadmap Major version releases for both D365BS Cloud and On-prem versions will be every half a year: one in spring and one in autumn. “It will work like a clockwork” – as reassured on stage by Marko Perisic. What’s important on the feature roadmap? Web Client will be the only option from year 2020, that’s the goal, no windows client in the near future. Intelligent Cloud Remember intelligent cloud back from Inspire? Well there’s a lot more to it, as shown today in Keynote. In a couple of steps you can arrange it to automatically crawl data from your GP solution (NAV and C5 to come) and put it inside a read-only Business Central solution. It would allow a GP customer to preview his financial data in a cloud D365BC solution or his mobile D365BC phone app for free. That seems like a good move to help transition the GP customer base to Business Central, since this could make them accustomed to D365BC quickly. We’ll see if it’s really that easy in the near future. Is that it? Dynamics Learning Portal is now free for all partners, which you may have seen already earlier, it’s announced today officially. It’s Day 1, so there’s 3 more days, stay tuned! The post Release, Roadmap and New Features for Dynamics 365 Business Central (Day 1 Directions NA) appeared first on Simplanova .
