To-Increase at Community Summit 2023: Recap and Insights

As a Gold Sponsor, To-Increase attended the Dynamics Community Summit North America 2023 held in Charlotte, North Carolina, between October 15 and 20. It was an incredible opportunity for Dynamics partners and customers to gain insight into Microsoft's FY24 priorities and innovations. We showcased data management, integration, and migration solutions embedded in Dynamics 365 with exclusive show offers.

Two Key Takeaways

With a focus on transitioning Dynamics on-premises customers to the cloud and expanding Power Platform usage, the event provided a platform for industry leaders to discuss the evolving landscape of Business Applications.

Here are the two key takeaways:

Power Platform

Microsoft's General Manager of go-to-market and strategy for Business Applications, Alfredo Ramirez, emphasized the pivotal role of the Power Platform in the Dynamics ecosystem. He urged partners to view it not just as an app to sell but as a transformative paradigm shift in organizational development. Ramirez's own experience using Power Apps at Microsoft highlighted its potential for streamlining processes within the company.

Cloud Migration as a Path to AI Adoption

Ramirez stressed the importance of cloud migration for leveraging generative AI. He outlined Microsoft's commitment to aiding customers in modernizing their Dynamics investments and preparing for the integration of AI tools. The message was clear: to embrace the future of AI, organizations need to be on the cloud.
