I’ll start this post with two phrases “Amazing” idea and App and “Unfortunately”.

First “amazing”, because it is really new cool App in Office 365. With this new online mobile App you can easy create and send very good looking invoices to your customers in PDF format. It is awesome application for very small business. And except creating and sending invoices, you can accept your payments, mark your invoices as paid or unpaid; add and edit your customers, view yearly and monthly sales and overdue payments… It is really cool and smart thing in your hands.

But why “unfortunately”? This “unfortunately” is for now, because you can currently try this app only if you are invited and of course if you are using Office 365… and not all Office 365 packages. Currently, it is possible only with Office 365 Business Premium Subscription.

If you are lucky, when you open your Office 365 dashboard, you will find Business Center and you will find Invoicing.

And now, I’ll show you in few steps how to download and run this App. You can download it from AppStore for your iPhone or from Google Play for your Android devices. Just to know, I’ve tried only on iPhone.

When you find it on your store and download it, you will run App and find ‘Sign In’ button.

O course, you just need to click on this button and to continue with logging. Of course, for logging, you must use your Office 365 credentials. System will the first ask for you Office 365 account and then open standard Office 365 login page to enter you password.

And as I already said, if you are lucky one, you can try this App now. if you are not so lucky :(, you will get a message that App not accessible…

This is all for this post. In the next post, I’ll write more about features.

NAV TechDays 2016 has just finished a few days ago. Unfortunately, I missed it this year. I wanted to be there with you in Antwerp and I already announced session with Steven Renders about Power BI, but I had to cancel my attendance. I know, Steven perfect prepared this session without me because he is an expert for this topic.

OK, life goes on. I really hope I missed only this year and I’ll be there the next year. Now, all sessions are already published and I want to have all of them on the one place. There are all of them:

The Future of NAV Business

Two weeks after Directions EMEA is finished, we finally got the newest release of NAV. Now we have NAV 2017 and we expect Dynamics 365 BE during the next year (I think on non-US market). We sow the AND story about NAV and Dynamics 365, but I still think NAV partners are on the very important crossroads. I don’t expect they need to choose what business they will need to continue, because I strongly believe we can continue with both of these products, but I’m sure partners have to change their approach to this business. And this is not connected with NAV or Dyn365; new approach must be used for both of them. They have to find the best possible way to transfer their business to cloud, they have to change the way of developing (extensions, events…) and so on.

Because of that, I strongly recommend to all Dynamics partners to read the good story on MSDynamicsWorld about how Microsoft Dynamics NAV partners face crucial decisions on their future. This article can help to NAV partners how to focus thinking about their businesses. Early adopters of new business model will be in much better positions in the future and because of that it is very important not to become obsolete.

Microsoft Dynamics 365!

Today, Microsoft published story about Microsoft Dynamics 365 on Partner Source and on their blog. And in the same moment, they’ve also published Microsoft AppSource. What is this?

Microsoft says that this represents the end-to-end intelligent business applications in the cloud and it will be worldwide available in the fall of this year. Generally Dynamics 365 will bring the best of Dynamics ERP and CRM solutions and currently it is based on Project “Madeira” (but not only; we can expect the enterprise edition of Dynamics 365 based on AX) and CRM Online, but not only on them. It will provide the main business processes as Finance, Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Operations, Marketing and Project Service Automation.

And even more. This is not closed system. This system is natively integrated with big data and IoT, Power BI, Cortana Intelligence, Microsoft Flow,… everything what you need and when you need. Classic Software-As-A-Service story, but very advanced. I think I don’t need to spend my words about integration with Office 365; this integration will be extremely deep (you already saw just a part of this in my previous article about using “Madeira” with Outlook).

And of course, if you want to know something more about it, the best is to attend on WPC during the July. Microsoft will provide three session about this new solution. You can also see more about it on Summit this year (Scott Guthrie will speak about it) and I hope on Directions.

You can expect more from me about this soon. But this is just small the first introduction about new solution in the family; remember this name – Microsoft Dynamics 365.
