Dynamics Weekly #139

By Guido Preite • Issue #139 • View online

Welcome to Dynamics Weekly!

Microsoft has the habit to rename things, we don’t! This newsletter will always be “Dynamics Weekly” although it covers more of Power Platform and Microsoft Dataflex Pro (new name of CDS) these days.

Don’t forget to check the Powerthon YouTube Channel, they just published the videos from the “Dynamics 365 Sales & Marketing Saturday Bootcamp”.

Thanks!
