Microsoft has mentioned that Dynamics 365 paid seats increased 2x YoY. And 4 out of 5 Dynamics customers choose Dynamics 365. Microsoft’s LinkedIn acquisition will also benefit Dynamics in the coming quarters. If everything goes by Microsoft’s plan, Dynamics can become a serious business inside Microsoft just like Azure, Office and Windows.
