I detta sommarspecialavsnitt pratar vi med Per Skoogh från Signup lite om hur det är att vara ISV i Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. Vilka regler måste man förhålla sig till, vilka fördelar restpektive nackdelar finns och hur ser han på framtiden. Vi passar även på att diskutera lite hur man som kund eller partner skall tänka kring val av ISVer kontra att utveckla själv.

Glad sommar
