The feel-good conference season is over, with its keynotes, success stories and Dynamics 365 unveiling. Now, what do Microsoft Dynamics SMB partner organizations truly think of the Dynamics channel direction?

Linda Rose, "Chief Cloudster" and founder of RoseASP, joins us for an unflinching look at what cloud challenges Dynamics SMB partners and their clients are likely to experience in the near future. She previews RoseASP's 2016 Dynamics SMB Cloud Survey (registration required) including issues like:

• Competitive cloud products being sold, which scare partners and which entice them?
• How reliant is the channel on cloud service providers, and can we expect more? Fewer?
• Current plans for Dynamics 365: Must partners prepare for their own digital transformations?
• Differences between Microsoft Dynamics GP, NAV, and SL partners. Hint: D365 may be impressive but you'll pry these classic solutions from the cold, dead fingers of loyal customers.
