Investment areas

Boost productivity with Copilot
AI provides opportunities to empower enterprise users through Copilot experiences. These experiences increase productivity by leveraging business data and large language models. Copilot experiences in finance and operations apps complement the experiences across Microsoft offerings, including Power Platform and Microsoft 365.

One Dynamics One Platform
Virtual table users accessing finance and operations data see better performance, automation, and less management. This solution offers an alternative way to access finance and operations data on Power Platform with less effort.

Customers using Export to Azure Data Lake can transition to Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse. This transition brings an integrated experience with the ability to choose data from all Dynamics 365 apps. For AX 2012 or AX 2009 customers planning an upgrade to cloud-based finance and operations, you can easily query finance and operations data using Azure Synapse Analytics. You can preserve your existing data integration pipelines by accessing finance and operations data in the lake in table form, as Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse supports finance and operations tables and entities.
