Changes Are Coming to Dynamics
You may have recently received an email from Microsoft stating that change is coming and your Dynamics 365 environments will be automatically transitioned to the Dynamics Unified Interface within the next 30 days. While this may seem alarming, this is only an optional early transition; you still have control over when your environments are transitioned to the new interface before the final deadline of October 1, 2020.

What is the Dynamics Unified Interface?
As you may already know, the Unified Interface is the new user experience that Microsoft is mandating all Dynamics 365 environments put into use by October 2020. This interface ensures a smooth, consistent experience across all devices, whether you access Dynamics from your PC, phone, or tablet.

Microsoft Support Changes
Microsoft plans to make changes so that only the current version of Office, Windows, and Server licensing is supported. This means that changes for organizations will occur for those that are not up to date on the latest versions of their Microsoft products.

Stuck on a Dying Platform?
Cloud computing is a very compelling choice when organizations are faced with the decision on what to do with their outdated, unsupported on-premise system. I talk with various organizations who are stuck on these platforms, and don't want to incur the large costs of upgrading and supporting another on-premise platform.

Drive your code-less integrations with data
If you've coded an integration over the past couple of decades, then you have experienced the pain that comes with learning a legacy API. There were no consistent standards or structures, which complicated the learning path for developers.

Cloud computing is no longer science fiction; it’s here to stay. Organizations all over the world are transforming their businesses by moving to the Cloud because of the several clear advantages it offers: low up-front costs, mobility, versatility, automatic updates, and cutting-edge technology.

ExpressRoute overview
Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute lets you extend your on-premises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a private connection facilitated by a connectivity provider. With ExpressRoute, you can establish connections to Microsoft cloud services, such as Microsoft Azure, Office 365, and Dynamics 365.

Connectivity can be from an any-to-any (IPVPN) network, a point-to-point Ethernet network, or a virtual cross-connection through a connectivity provider at a co-location facility.

Integrating Data with Microsoft Azure
If you follow my blog, then you know how much I LOVE cloud technologies. As a former network operations manager, I was happy to give up my life maintaining hardware and operating systems.  I now focus on customizing and extending cloud applications like Dynamics 365, and integrating data with cloud solutions.

Are You Fully Embracing Cloud Technology?
I hear that you are looking to move to the cloud. That's great, but what does that mean to you? Are you simply looking to move off an aging infrastructure, or should there be more to your cloud migration strategy?

I recently worked with a client who wanted to move his website up to the cloud.

Are you ready to migrate to the cloud? If so, how will you maintain your integrations during this transition? Maybe I can help by painting you a picture of an integration. This is a picture that Beringer Technology Group has painted hundreds of times for our clients, and I hope it can help you.
