Microsoft Dynamics partners on the 2019 Inc. 5000: Fewer make the list, reasons will vary

The 2019 Inc. 5000 list features high growth private companies based in the US. As in past years, Microsoft partners focused on Dynamics solutions and the Power Platform are on the list – but not as many.

In 2016, we identified nine rapidly growing Dynamics ERP or CRM-related firms on the list. In 2017 the number rose to eighteen. We missed 2018's list, but in this year's Inc. 5000 the cohort has fallen all the way down to four five by our count, plus what appears to be an honorable mention from 2018 still on the list.  (Did we miss a firm? Let us know in the comments. -Ed.)

What's to be made of this precipitous drop? There are a few possible causes.
