This gives users the possibility of incremental implementations. Faster, turnkey, deployment will be enable thanks to enhancements from Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services, built on Azure.
Azure Machine Learning will also give users near real time analytics, which can be visualised using Power BI, embedded in the application itself.
Scott Guthrie, executive vice president, Microsoft Cloud and Enterprise said: "When you combine the hyperscale, enterprise-grade and hybrid-cloud capabilities of Microsoft Azure with the real-time insights and intuitive user experience of Dynamics AX, organisations and individuals are empowered to transform their business operations."
