Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 Update
Last time I have posted a link to the introduction video of the new version of CRM.
Now it is clear, that the next version will be called 2016 Update and for OnPremise version it will deliver the Update 1 features which are yet available only for CRM Online. However, the 2016 Update will have some features limited to CRM Online. Microsoft is also going to offer some features of the new version only to customers with certain number of licences.
It is quite obvious that MS is pushing customers to CRM Online and also trying to sell more licenses to the existing customers.

For registered partners, the preview version will be available very soon.
The final version should be available by the end of this year.
I would like to comment on some features that have been already announced.
I would like to comment on some features that have been already announced.
Excel integration - very nice feature, it can increase the productivity a lot. Users will be able to view sales data in familiar Excel templates, perform what-if analysis, and upload the changes, all while maintaining the CRM context. I am looking forward to the mobile devices capability, which should be also improved.
CRM App for Outlook - It was stated, that the CRM App for Outlook preview feature is available for CRM Online customers. This is very neat feature and we need it for OnPremise as well.
Office Delve - I have started to use Delve this year and it looks very promising. With the CRM integrated in it, it can server as the starting point for daily work.
Office 365 Groups - already available for preview, it should make collaboration easier, but from my point of view it is getting very complicated to set everything properly.
Document generation - We should be able to generate documents with one click. This is requested by a lot of CRM customers, as the current possibilities are not sufficient.
Very big potential is in the in-app learning, but the new in-app learning layer will be available for CRM Online only.
Mobile offline support - great improvement announced for users - they don't have to save your drafts as they did with the previous offline experience. However, this feature will be available only for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2016 Update customers with 30 or more Enterprise or Professional licenses.
Mobile client enhancements - right in the mobile app we will be able to view the documents associated with the case, opportunities and any other entities.
When you design new mobile form, you will be able to preview it in the web client - this will save a lot of time for the customizers.
Task flows - it is going to be a preview feature, so I do not expect the final functionality, but it will be good for getting the idea of where the CRM is going.
In the next article, I will say a few words about service, social engagement etc....
The Marketing Module in the core CRM application is not being improved and it looks like that all customers should go for the Dynamics Marketing or ClickDimensions if they want some more marketing capabilities....
Enjoy you CRM Day.
