Microsoft looks to its partners to deliver much of its business applications revenue and to make its fast-moving product lineup perform at its peak. With so many Dynamics and Power Platform product and licensing updates in 2019, the partner's role either as an ISV or a services provider required agility, foresight, and patience.
