I'm never really excited to see announcements around licensing for Dynamics 365 and Power Apps, but I've been looking forward to this announcement for months! But first, as usual, I went into a tangent about something else, this time I discuss July 1st, and how important of a date it is for me personally.

Episode 107: Who is the father of Dynamics CRM/365?
CRM MVP Podcast
There's someone who works at Microsoft who has been involved in the release of Microsoft Dynamics 365 (previously known by different names) since its Beta version. He led the creation of the first version of the product, then the creation and release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0, 4.0, and then responsible for taking it Online! And I believe that understanding this person's role in the history of Microsoft Dynamics 365 is important if we are trying to see where the product is going in the future.

Episode 102: Microsoft is taking over the local user groups
CRM MVP Podcast
Recently Microsoft announced that they will be taking over the support of local user groups while other organizations battle to fill the gaps Microsoft will be unable to fill initially such as in person events and training. Most of the organizations looking to fill those gaps are led by implementation partners, and I wanted to share my thoughts on whether this is a good thing for the community and for the users. Article reviewed during this episode:
info_outlineThere are currently ONLY 90 CRM MVPs in the World, so the chances of you directly interacting with one or more of us is very small.
This lack of access to Microsoft MVPs creates a sense of mystery or perhaps misunderstanding about what MVPs are, or even more importantly what they are not.
This episode is all about the common misconceptions people have about MVPs.
Some of the biggest hits include: "Do MVPs work for Microsoft?", "Do MVPs get free stuff?", "Do MVPs get to decide who becomes an MVP?", "Do all MVPs get paid to attend conferences?", "Can MVPs criticize Microsoft?" and many more.
Tune in to this special and non-technical episode of the show.
