MSDW Podcast: A Tinkerer's Perspective on Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations

Murray Fife is a Dynamics 365 Global Black Belt at Microsoft who also spent years in the Dynamics partner channel. He writes on his own "A Tinkerer's Notebook" blog, he publishes an ongoing series of books about D365 and AX configuration and usage, and he can frequently be found in person and online educating the community on some of the latest and greatest tech inside and around Dynamics. Murray is usually out in front on the possibilities for blending standard Dynamics 365 capabilities with other cool tech.
