Business value

This feature facilitates seamless data exchange with Common Data Service.

Feature details

Get your data in Common Data Service and keep it up to date.

We are making the dual-write setup an out-of-the-box experience. This will allow businesses to exchange near real-time data seamlessly in a synchronous bidirectional fashion, beyond application boundaries. We want to provide users a "One Dynamics 365" experience.

Knowing every business is unique in itself, we have made the dual-write framework extensible. This includes enabling custom entities, as well as extensions to existing entities, to fully utilize Common Data Service and surrounding tools for your most important business data.
