So What’s New in the MS / D365 world?
Microsoft New Focus on AI and Cloud Infrastructure...
Microsoft's recent updates across Dynamics, Power Platform and Azure platforms reflect a strategic emphasis on AI and cloud infrastructure. The company's significant capital expenditure, including a 77.6% increase to $19 billion in the fourth quarter, highlights its commitment to expanding data centre capacity and meeting the growing demand for AI services. This investment is crucial for supporting the integration of AI across Microsoft's product suite and ensuring the scalability and reliability of its cloud offerings. Therefore, Microsoft's recent updates to Dynamics 365, Azure, and the Power Platform underscore its ongoing investment in AI and cloud infrastructure. These enhancements aim to provide organisations with more intelligent, scalable, and accessible tools to drive digital transformation and
innovation.
So what are the Opportunities to Businesses?
Microsoft’s continued investment in AI and cloud infrastructure presents several clear opportunities for businesses. The recent updates across D365, Power Platform, and Azure reflect a strategic shift aimed at helping organisations modernise operations, enhance decision-making, and scale with confidence.
With a 77.6% increase in capital expenditure… totalling $19 billion in Q4 2024, Microsoft is heavily expanding its global data centre footprint. This significant investment underpins the integration of AI across its product ecosystem and ensures the resilience and scalability of its cloud services. For businesses, this translates into faster access to powerful AI capabilities, improved system performance, and a more secure and future-proof digital environment.
From a practical standpoint, these developments open the door for organisations to:
• Leverage low-code and no-code solutions within Power Platform to accelerate innovation.
• Optimise customer engagement and operations through AI-powered features in D365.
