Microsoft Dynamics 365 projects have the potential to impact organizations both in terms of the quality of internal operations and their customer-facing activities. On this episode, Formpipe’s Commercial Director Mike Rogers and Business Solutions Consultant Soren Hjorth join us to share their recent real world experiences working with Dynamics 365 customers. As they explain, solving business document challenges can deliver Dynamics ERP and CRM users with a range of benefits that not only achieve immediate goals but also position them for future needs.

On this episode we hear from Cavallo vice presidents Bob McAdam and Joe Alt for the latest guidance on the company's Dynamics GP solution roadmap and partnerships. GP users looking at both the Cavallo Salespad roadmap and their latest partnerships should find comfort in the ecosystem's future, including in the opportunities to modernize order management and build more integrated and automated systems.

We discuss the addition of more granular controls over orders coming from e-commerce systems.
