Microsoft Dynamics 365

Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a cloud-based business applications platform that combines components of customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP), along with productivity applications and artificial intelligence tools.

Dynamics 365 launched in 2016, when Microsoft combined Dynamics AX -- its ERP application -- with its Dynamics CRM application. Microsoft was one of the first major vendors to combine the capabilities of ERP and CRM natively.

The Dynamics 365 suite is available in two editions, Business or Enterprise, each with different levels of features and applications.
