It helps to understand what you gain by investing in a cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) platform. Dynamics 365 provides everything you need to cover your CRM and ERP needs. It provides the capabilities required to handle functions within the various business areas, including:
The beauty of Dynamics 365 is that you can pick and choose modules needed for your company. The individual applications work individually and together. With the help of a Dynamics 365 partner, you can build a customized solution to support your growing business needs.
All customer data gets pulled into a centralized location, helping you gather valuable insights into their behavior. From there, you can understand the customer journey better thanks to real-time updates from the platform. Use the information collected to set up more personalized customer experiences and keep up with the health of those relationships.
Dynamics 365 has become a mainstay across various industries because of its flexibility. You save on operational costs by only paying a Dynamics 365 monthly subscription fee. Because it uses cloud technology, your organization does not have to invest in server hardware and associated support and maintenance costs.
All Microsoft Dynamics products are available on a monthly subscription basis. The Enterprise version of each platform provides companies with more business capabilities. The Professional version typically gets purchased by small and mid-sized companies who may not need the full-blown Enterprise version.
If you’re having trouble deciding whether you should purchase a Professional or Enterprise Dynamics 365 product, try out the Professional version first to see if it fits your organizational needs. If there’s something more required, then upgrade to the Enterprise version.
If you purchase a Dynamics 365 Professional license for users, they will only have access to capabilities at that level. Users granted access through a Dynamics 365 Enterprise license would have access to both the Professional and Enterprise capabilities.
Let’s look at a few different Dynamics 365 products to see what’s available via a Dynamics 365 Professional vs. Enterprise license.
Both Dynamics 365 Sales Professional and Enterprise come with the ability to manage leads and opportunities. You can also quickly set up marketing lists and campaigns to generate more interest in products and services. Other functions available for both product levels include the ability to:

A Microsoft Relationship Sales license is also available at $162 per month.

Some Microsoft Dynamics licenses have only a single license available. Dynamics 365 Finance charges $180.00 per month for the first user, then asks for $30 for every other user. The Finance module helps mid-sized organizations conduct real-time financial monitoring and set up predictions for future outcomes. Dynamics 365 Finance integrates seamlessly with other Dynamics 365 and Office 365 products.
