The 2020 release wave 2 for Dynamics 365 brings innovations that provide you with significant capabilities to transform your business. The release contains hundreds of new features across Dynamics 365 applications, including Business Central, CRM sales & marketing, Office (TEAMS, Power BI, and Flow).  

Dynamics 365 Sales continues the emphasis on simplified experiences, app integrations, gamification, a new mobile experience for quick access to customer information, and recent enhancements to forecasting to create and manage bottom-up sales forecast processes natively.

Dynamics 365 Business Central investments for this release wave include service enhancements to meet the demands of a rapidly growing customer base, improved performance, handling of file storage, geographic expansion together with support for Group VAT, top customer-requested features, and deeper integration with Microsoft Teams.

Power BI is investing in three key areas that drive a data culture: unique data experiences, modern enterprise BI, and insights where decisions are made. Power BI Desktop includes many new capabilities for users to create content quickly and easily, enabling authors to empower their users, enterprise-grade content creation, and AI-infused authoring experiences. Power BI Mobile adds split-view support for iPad. Power BI Service integrates with Azure Synapse to automatically create and manage materialized views on larger Power BI models and enhanced integration with SharePoint lists to build additional custom reports. We continue to enhance our data protection capabilities enabling customers to classify and label sensitive data.

What’s new in Microsoft Teams has added 46 new features for the fall; this is Microsoft’s hottest product for 2020 (age of COVID).
