Rising demand for intuitive, user-friendly, and connected systems, with the flexibility to operate in the cloud, is rapidly transforming the Microsoft Business Applications services market. Microsoft’s investments in AI and its advanced capabilities, such as generative AI, are accelerating adoption by creating an integrated intelligent ecosystem for the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform suite.
