How the product behaves in practice
Operating model
What has to be true
Dynamics 365 Sales is most coherent inside a Microsoft estate where identity, Outlook, Teams, Power Platform and data governance already have owners.
Implementation reality
Where the work sits
Success depends on solution architecture and partner quality. Keep customisation tied to measurable process needs and define the boundary between Dynamics, Dataverse and adjacent Microsoft tools.
