Earlier today at Convergence EMEA, Jujhar Singh announced general availability of Dynamics CRM 2016. The CRM Tipsters would like to wish everyone in the CRM community a happy new (CRM) year, and we are very excited to finally be able to talk about it.
The temptation for any CRM blogger is to say “hey, look at these shiny new features.” And there is a lot of shiny new goodness in CRM 2016. But the way we CRM is to look at what the features mean to real users. Hopefully we will get at least 250 more tips from this release.
The following are the areas about which we are most excited regarding CRM 2016:
For all users
- Document generation
- Documents in mobile
- Mobile app linking (Export to Excel and generate Word Documents on mobile)
- Hybrid Exchange server synchronization
For on premises users
- Goodbye to the CRM 2013 sitemap and form nav bar.
- Hello CRM for Phones
For CRM Online users
- Offline mobile
- Office 365 groups general availability
- Significantly improved sandbox management
- CRM App for Outlook (in another year or two we will fondly recall the ‘early’ days of the Outlook CRM Client)
Developers (They are users too. In a sense)
- Web api (OData v2 is
deaddeprecated) - CORS support (single page apps, here we come)
- Solution patching
- New mobile custom controls
- Web resources and iframes support in mobile
- Online/on-premises parity (for now)
On prem download-link would be nice 🙂
It would be, wouldn’t it 🙂
Not available yet, even first access customers do not have it yet. We’ll post it as soon as it’s available, I’m sure tweets will fly!
I know this might sound like a stupid question, but where, and when is the on premise installationfiles available ?
Online org trials will be 2016 in the next 24 hours. On premises bits will be downloadable in 2 weeks
Also the online trial version is still 2015 Update 1
