20 supply chain lessons for Microsoft Dynamics 365 users: Event preview

Editor’s Note: This article features information from sponsors of two upcoming MSDW events.

Companies involved in supply-chain management realize that the disruptions of the last couple of years have presented some very real challenges. Often the movement of goods and services has been interrupted by backorders, short stocks, delays, etc.. Organizations using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance (AX) and Dynamics 365 Business Central (NAV) already have solid solutions for automating supply-chain processes. But some challenges require a further boost.
