What this means for ERP Insiders
Finance installed base includes some heavy-hitters. While less than a third of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance installed base are large enterprises with greater than 1,000 employees, Microsoft has seen significant adoption among large organizations worldwide. Several notable enterprises have implemented Dynamics 365 Finance to enhance their financial operations. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the UK’s largest government department, employing approximately 90,000 individuals, utilizes Dynamics 365 Finance to manage its extensive financial processes. Tesla, the American automotive giant, with over 140,000 employees, has integrated Dynamics 365 Finance to streamline its financial management systems. Brookfield Corporation, a Canadian banking and financial services company, employing around 202,500 people, leverages Dynamics 365 Finance for its financial operations. General Electric Company, the U.S. professional services organization, with a workforce of 125,000, has adopted Dynamics 365 Finance to enhance its financial processes. And John Deere, the U.S.-based manufacturing leader, employing 83,000 individuals, uses Dynamics 365 Finance to manage its financial operations.
Prepare properly for 10.0.43. When considering the adoption of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance version 10.0.43, it’s important to be aware of certain considerations. Some functionalities in this release are available as part of a preview. These features are subject to change and may not be fully supported in production environments. It’s advisable to thoroughly test these features in a non-production setting before full deployment. Microsoft periodically deprecates older features in favor of improved functionalities. For instance, the Revenue Recognition feature was deprecated after April 2023, with customers encouraged to transition to the Subscription Billing module. It’s essential to review the list of deprecated features to understand any potential impact on your operations. Also, users have reported issues during the upgrade process. Specifically, an error stating, “Preparing this environment for servicing has failed,” was encountered when updating from version 10.0.41 to 10.0.43 in a development environment. Ensuring that your environment is properly configured and accessible can help mitigate such issues. Before implementing version 10.0.43, it’s recommended to conduct comprehensive testing in a controlled environment, review all relevant documentation, and ensure that your system configurations align with the new version’s requirements.
Microsoft maintains strong R&D push. Microsoft’s allocation of its R&D budget across the Dynamics 365 portfolio reflects its commitment to innovation and addressing evolving customer needs. While specific budgetary allocations for individual Dynamics 365 applications are not publicly disclosed, several key focus areas can be identified. Microsoft has made substantial investments in AI and cloud technologies, which are integral to the Dynamics 365 suite. For instance, in April 2024, Microsoft announced a $2.9 billion investment in AI and cloud infrastructure in Japan, aiming to enhance information sharing, talent development, and technology solutions. The company maintains a significant global R&D presence, with over 6,000 scientists and engineers in the Asia-Pacific region alone, focusing on fundamental research, technology incubation, and product development. Microsoft’s R&D efforts are directed towards the regular enhancement of the Dynamics 365 portfolio, including applications like Finance, Supply Chain Management, and Customer Service.
