The seven-update cadence had remained “too difficult” for some customers and ISVs, Ehrenberg stated. Updates will be planned for January, April, July, and October starting in April 2024 and will include a “simplified skip window and skip policy,” Ehrenberg explained. The product will be moving from seven possible updates throughout the year to four. Microsoft will be adjusting their cloud update policy for F&SCM.
Noting that he has now been with Microsoft for 20 years, Ehrenberg stated that his excitement at recent positive analyst rankings for the product reflects the team’s work on their cloud architecture, Microsoft’s data platform, and the application itself. Customer successes are multiplying, and analysts are giving us strong reviews,” said Microsoft Technical Fellow and Dynamics 365 CTO Mike Ehrenberg in a recorded message to the AX and F&SCM audience at Community Summit 2023.
