Dynamics 365 cloud services are rapidly adding new features, enhancements and value-add services for customers to get the most value from the latest technological advancements. For Microsoft partners, it is critically important to stay up to date and continuously incorporate these innovations into your solution and service offerings in order to help customers realize the best ROI on their digital transformation initiatives. However, we understand that as you prioritize customer engagements and running delivery operations, you may be hard pressed to dedicate personal learning time to fully research the latest guidance on products you use or to explore new features and cloud services.  

To help, we are introducing Microsoft Assessments that guide partners and customers through a series of questions and recommendations that result in a curated guidance report that is actionable and informative. More details can be found here

These self-serve assessments help partner teams broaden knowledge and skills related to Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) features and best practices, and leverage the broad set of resources available from Microsoft. They are designed to assist in identifying knowledge gaps related to the latest features and tools available for role-specific tasks. The personalized guidance resulting from an assessment provides links to a wide range of resources, such as Microsoft Learn content, Microsoft Tech Talks, blogs, Yammer community groups, training boot camps, Github template resources, and more — all of which will help your partner delivery team improve their skills.
