This episode is sponsored by Bluefort.   Unlike a one-time order, a subscription-based sale brings with it a range of new opportunities, challenges, and complexities. Working with a customer over multiple interactions can lead to additional orders, up-sell and cross-sell opportunities, upgrades, and downgrades, and new pricing models. Evolving a subscription model can also lead to new demands on sales, support, and service teams.    Our guest, Bjorn Kuijt, VP of product management at Bluefort, discusses his work with Dynamics 365 F&O customers and partners to support subscription-based sales models by building on Microsoft's core ERP and CRM solutions to offer new capabilities related to the order-to-cash process, payment automation, and commerce, and beyond. Bjorn shares his outlook on Microsoft's product roadmap for D365, as well as how key partnerships in the channel are strengthening Bluefort's offerings.   Show Notes: 2:30 - Differentiating subscription management vs other types of more conventional order management 5:15 - How Dynamics 365 customers describe their experiences with these challenges and how they want to address them 7:45 - Recommendations on identifying and prioritizing the challenges around subscriptions 10:30 - The challenge of matching customers with the right subscription offers 13:45 - The Dynamics 365 roadmap and Bjorn's outlook on F&O capabilities for subscription, AI, and more 16:30 - Signs of improved alignment in Microsoft product teams, both in data and user experience 18:30 - The partner opportunity to deliver subscription-based solutions   If you'd like to learn more about leveraging D365 F&O to accelerate your subscription revenue, tune in to the upcoming webcast where Bjorn talks to Rick McCutcheon in more depth about the topic, including the latest capabilities of Bluefort LISA.

This episode is sponsored by emfluence.   Following a recent webcast on data-driven email marketing, we speak with Monica Hoyer, marketing director at emfluence, to get her views on different ways to use business data in digital marketing.  For Dynamics ERP and CRM users, it should come as no surprise that their systems offer a bounty of valuable data that marketers can incorporate into their planning and analysis if they have access to it. Data from sales interactions, customer service, orders, and other touch points can all factor into crafting more effective email marketing campaigns. We discuss different types of  B2B and B2C scenarios where Monica has seen Dynamics and emfluence customers find new levels of marketing results by putting data to work.   Show Notes: 1:45 - Top observations from the recent webcast with Jessica Best and Rick McCutcheon 3:00 - Guiding companies from basic to sophisticated email marketing 4:00 - What customer journeys are all about and understanding the key touchpoints 5:45 - How do organizations tie end goals back to marketing technology investments around data access 7:30 - Why Microsoft partners are in a unique position to bring better data to the marketing team 9:45 - Building effective email campaigns, and how one B2C firm evolved its approach 13:30 - The complexity of the online-offline interaction in marketing and sales journeys 15:30 - Technology that can enable more sophisticated scenarios   For more on this theme from emfluence, check out the recording of the conversation Rick McCutcheon had with Jess Best on MSDW

The Canadian National Dynamics 365 CE/CRM User Group has a long tradition of bringing members of the community together, both virtually and in-person. The group paused its activities during the pandemic, but they are back with new events, new plans, and a new organizing platform with the support of Dynamics User Group (DUG).   Two of the organizers of the Canadian National group, Microsoft MVPs Malcolm McAuley of C5 Insight and Rick McCutcheon, update us on building new momentum among Canadian users and how they see the group moving forward at both a regional and national level.   Group members come from a variety of organizations, Rick and Malcolm tell us. Often these users are the lone CRM experts in their organizations, so the connections to other users can be invaluable when planning how to enhance skills and learn about new technology.   Malcolm and Rick also discuss the challenges of offering content that resonates with others while also working toward their goal of increasing the volume of meetings, aiming for a monthly cadence. Malcolm also explains what the group has planned for the future, like more roadmap guidance, additional perspective on related Microsoft products, and helping foster direct connections between members.

In this special edition of the MSDW Podcast we are featuring a recent conversation between Microsoft MVP Rick McCutcheon and Microsoft global strategic ISV alliance manager John O'Donnell on how partners are utilizing Microsoft AppSource. Rick originally published this conversation as part of his Partner Talks series. Microsoft launched its AppSource ISV solution directory in 2016 as a replacement for a collection of old and fragmented systems. The initial coverage compared it to Salesforce AppExchange and Microsoft promised it would lead to higher ISV solution quality and that it would evolve quickly with. Nearly five years later, AppSource has evolved and grown, though probably not as quickly as Microsoft has wanted. Still, most ISVs in the  Dynamics 365 and Power Platform space list their solutions there, and some partners even list services offerings. Some vendors report closing sales thanks to the platform, others don't. In this conversation, O'Donnell emphasizes several strengths of the platform, from its global reach to its expanding set of offerings, beyond Dynamics 365 and Azure into other areas of Microsoft's business. They also discuss some ways vendors can optimize their listings to get the most out of the platform today.

There is one week every year where the largest concentration of CRM MVPs is recorded, and that is the Microsoft MVP Summit. During the MVP Summit 2018, I asked 10 CRM MVPs to answer the 22 tough questions you see below and I recorded their answers for all to enjoy, discuss, and learn from. Questions: Should Microsoft get rid off Dynamics 365 On-Premise? Why or Why not? How do you think the new Dynamics 365 for Marketing App affects stablished Marketing Automation Solutions such as ClickDimensions, Salesfusion, Act-On, and others? Salesforce and Google continue to collaborate and recently announced tighter integrations between the solutions offered by both organizations, how would a Salesforce acquisition by Google disrupt Dynamics 365’s momentum? One of the things Marc Benioff - the CEO of Salesforce – mentioned on their last big conference was that “Microsoft can’t seem to keep their Dynamics 365 leadership in place”, are those comments accurate? And if so, why do you think that’s happening? Salesforce continues to be a leader in the CRM space with around 25% of the market share globally while Microsoft holds a smaller share, what can Microsoft do to catch up to Salesforce? How important is to master tools such as Microsoft Flow and Power Apps for a Dynamics 365 Solution Architect today? Speaking from the point of view of thousands of partners who are based in the US, why should I care about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) approved by the European Union Parliament on April of 2016? As the Dynamics 365 world grows, many developers from other products or platforms are making a jump into Dynamics 365 and other related technologies, what would you recommend to these developers to focus on learning so they can make a big impact in the near future? AppSource continues to grow and new items are added often, how do you keep up with what is being released and do you have any go-to apps? If you were the Dynamics 365 Product Owner for a day, what are some of the changes or improvements you would like to see added to Dynamics 365? If you could go back and re-do something inside Dynamics 365, what would it be and why? What kind of solution or company would you like to see Microsoft acquire and incorporate into their Dynamics 365 roster next? In your opinion, what is the most underrated feature of Dynamics 365? Now that Microsoft eliminated the branding of XRM, how has this impacted your approach to implementations and conversations with the community? There are hundreds of suggestions on the Microsoft Connect or Idea portal for Dynamics 365 enhancements, some of the suggestions date back a few years, if you had to pick one of those ideas to be incorporated into the next version of Dynamics 365, which one would it be? What is your favorite thing about working with Dynamics 365? What is your favorite part of the MVP Summit and why? What is your favorite thing about being a Microsoft MVP? If you could give one advice to aspiring CRM MVPs, what would it be? We are very fortunate to live in the US and have the ability to travel to and speak at conferences and other events, but what would you say to someone who might not be able to do what we do and who’s wondering if they can add value to the Dynamics 365 community? Which non-MVP community leader do you want to see here at the Microsoft MVP Summit next year and why? Lastly and just for fun, if there was a “CRM MVP for Life Award” and only one CRM MVP could be selected, who should the award go to and why? I would like to thank Ulrik Carlsson and Seth Bacon for contributing questions to this list. And of course, here are the CRM MVPs who stood outside a building for an hour in freezing weather to answer these questions: Colin Vermander (https://twitter.com/koolin_) Sheila Shapari (https://twitter.com/SheilaShahpari) Daryl LaBar (https://twitter.com/ddlabar) Neil Benson (https://twitter.com/customery) Gustaf Westerlund (https://twitter.com/crmgustaf) Britta Rekstad (https://twitter.com/MacgyverCRM) Leon Tribe (https://twitter.com/leontribe) Rick McCutcheon (https://twitter.com/rick_mccutcheon) Shawn Tabor (https://twitter.com/CRMhobbit) Joel Lindstrom (https://twitter.com/JoelLindstrom) Follow us/Subscribe:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/CRMMVPPodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAhjoi4W_K7sLNpXr9Kqz8w
