What is the Difference between Dynamics 365 and Dynamics CRM?
Microsoft rebranded and relaunched Dynamics CRM as Dynamics 365 which has five core modules (or apps) available for CRM, Sales, Customer Service, Marketing, Field Service and Project Service Automation.
The new Dynamics 365 product is also a combined ERP and CRM product that links all front office activities with the back office (ERP). Dynamics 365 eliminates the traditional data silos that exist between CRM and ERP.
If companies just want CRM functionality they can purchase the individual Dynamics 365 apps separately: Sales, Marketing, Customer Service, Field Service and Project Service Automation. If they want to add ERP functionality later, they can purchase the apps for Finance, Operations, Commerce and HR.
