On this episode we are talking to some of the experts who presented at the Summit North America Roadshow event in Seattle this week, where members of the Dynamics 365 community came together to hear from Microsoft and their peers about D365 applications, Power Platform, and the broader technology landscape that they face.
Microsoft kicked off the event with a tour of some of the latest Power Platform AI features in their plan designer, which recently reached GA, as well as the latest preview feature, generative pages.
That focus on AI-driven capabilities became a theme of the day, woven in with other functional and technical topics. To better understand what Microsoft's product evolution and efforts mean, we spoke with three enterprise software veterans for more perspective on topics like user adoption, sharing lessons about early AI solution development efforts, the impact on people's jobs, individual vs organizational solutions, and how to focus on outcomes.
