Customer engagement as a term seems to be gaining traction recently. So:

Customer self deploys! Partner engagement challenge here

Only AppSource solutions! Partners have to build IP in AppSource to compete well in this SMB space

Cut down features - can see most clients going enterprise

Customer Insights - this is where the real value of D365 Sales / Customer engagement is going to be. Traditional transcations can be carried out just as easily in Financials

Interesting times indeed. Wish they would hurry up with SMB version - the absence is causing confusion in the marketplace.
