Comparing the New Dynamics 365 for Sales, Business edition

In the upcoming release, we’re very excited to introduce Dynamics 365 for Sales, Business edition

The Business edition application is built on the Dynamics 365 for Sales, Enterprise edition application that existing Dynamics 365 customers are familiar with, but the new Sales application is optimized for small-to-medium-sized businesses.

Actually Dynamics 365 for Sales, Business edition fits very nicely somewhere between the small business offering we have - called Outlook Customer Manager - and Dynamics 365 for Sales, Enterprise edition. We now have a line-up that should help you select the right app, whether you are a small business, small-to-medium-sized business, or an enterprise.

In the table below you can get a first glimpse into how the three compare.
