Two weeks of compelling Microsoft Dynamics stories, including intelligence from both Directions 2016 and Ignite. Among this week's topics:

• Directions 2016 North America, where Microsoft asked NAV partners to embrace the differences of the Dynamics 365 opportunity (and clarifies why there is an opportunity)
• Microsoft's quiet AI revolution is over now that artificial intelligence is practical and in use by customers like Lowe's and the NFL. And Surprise! Microsoft has built an Azure-based supercomputer to manage it all.
• Several intriguing guest columns. The topics:
  • Is your CRM an enabler or enemy for your sales team?
  • Why there is no credible AX integration framework from Microsoft, and what to do.
  • Three reasons why the cloud may not be for your organization. Think capex versus opex - maybe your organization is not the subscriber kind.
