A working framework for CIOs, CFOs, sales operations leaders, and procurement teams negotiating the 2026 Dynamics 365 renewal. Recover twenty to thirty eight percent against the opening proposal.
A working framework for CIOs, CFOs, sales operations leaders, customer service directors, and procurement teams negotiating the 2026 Microsoft Dynamics 365 renewal. Recover twenty to thirty eight percent against the opening proposal through user reconciliation, Copilot adoption tracking, Customer Insights right sizing, dual run cost elimination, and a documented Salesforce, SAP, and Oracle Fusion exit path.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 sits at the center of an increasingly broad enterprise business applications portfolio. The platform spans front office CRM workloads, back office ERP workloads, customer data platform capability, and the new generation Copilot for Dynamics 365 assistants.
The 2026 commercial discussion sits at a difficult fork. Microsoft pushes customers from per application contracts toward bundled Customer Engagement, Unified Operations, and Total Experience plans. The Copilot for Dynamics 365 line ships as separately licensed add ons that attach broadly across the user pool.
The 2026 Dynamics 365 renewal cycle uses six commercial vectors against the buyer.
This paper sets out the Redress Compliance 2026 Dynamics 365 renewal negotiation framework. Refined across more than five hundred enterprise software engagements at Industry recognized scale, with over two billion dollars under advisory.
The framework stages the renewal response across user pool reconciliation, application by application sizing, Copilot adoption tracking, Customer Insights right sizing, Dataverse capacity right sizing, dual run cost elimination, MACC drawdown evaluation, and a documented competitive exit path.
The exit path covers Salesforce Sales and Service Cloud, SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Oracle Fusion ERP Cloud, HubSpot Enterprise, ServiceNow Customer Workflows, and selected Workday Enterprise modules.
The single most valuable 2026 move is documenting the active named user baseline per application, the Copilot adoption telemetry, and the Customer Insights consumption profile inside the procurement file before the opening commercial discussion.
Default 2026 Dynamics 365 posture inflates the contracted commitment across every metric. The Microsoft EA framework creates additional levers through MACC drawdown that customers without buyer side advisory rarely capture on the consumption tier.

Microsoft Dynamics started as the consolidation of four acquired ERP and CRM platforms. Great Plains, Navision, Axapta, and Solomon entered the Microsoft portfolio between 2000 and 2002. The early Dynamics line ran on premises through the 2000s and into the early 2010s.
The 2016 launch of Dynamics 365 unified the front office and back office cloud applications under a single brand. The platform shifted from per server perpetual licensing to per user subscription with consumption based add ons.
The 2018 to 2022 cycle expanded the portfolio across the front office and back office. Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Marketing, Customer Insights, Finance, Supply Chain Management, Commerce, Project Operations, and Human Resources each became standalone applications with bundled plan options.
The 2022 to 2024 cycle introduced the Copilot for Dynamics 365 lines. Copilot for Sales launched in March 2023. Copilot for Service launched in October 2023. Copilot for Finance, Copilot for Field Service, and Copilot for Project Operations followed across 2024.
The 2024 to 2026 portfolio compression unified Dynamics 365 around the application generations. The Customer Engagement generation covers Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, and Project Operations. The Customer Service generation introduces a unified workspace and the Copilot for Service surface. The Unified Operations generation covers Finance, Supply Chain Management, Commerce, and Human Resources.
The 2026 commercial discussion folds three structural pressures. List price increases took effect across the Dynamics 365 catalog in October 2024 with selected double digit moves. Copilot for Dynamics 365 upsell runs broadly across the user pool at USD 30 to USD 50 per user per month. Customer Engagement and Customer Service generation migration creates documented dual run cost.
The 2026 renewal wave hits the consolidated Dynamics 365 installed base. Documented commercial uplift compounds across list price increases, Copilot upsell, Customer Insights capacity growth, Dataverse capacity growth, and the multi year commitment.
| Customer profile | Typical 2026 Dynamics 365 scope | Annual 2026 commitment |
|---|---|---|
| Mid market | 500 to 2,500 users on Customer Engagement, selective Copilot | USD 0.45m to 2.1m |
| Large enterprise | 4,000 to 12,000 users on Customer Engagement plus Finance and Supply Chain | USD 4.5m to 14m |
| Upper enterprise | 18,000 plus users, full application footprint, Copilot, Customer Insights | USD 18m to 65m |
| Three year commitment value band | Aggregate term value at upper enterprise scale | USD 54m to 195m |
| Application or consumption unit | List rate | Negotiated band at upper enterprise scale |
|---|---|---|
| Sales Professional (per user per month) | USD 65 | USD 40 to USD 52 |
| Sales Enterprise (per user per month) | USD 105 | USD 65 to USD 82 |
| Sales Premium (per user per month) | USD 150 | USD 95 to USD 120 |
| Customer Service Enterprise (per user per month) | USD 105 | USD 65 to USD 82 |
| Field Service (per user per month) | USD 105 | USD 65 to USD 82 |
| Customer Engagement Plan (per user per month) | USD 115 | USD 72 to USD 92 |
| Finance (per user per month) | USD 210 | USD 130 to USD 165 |
| Supply Chain Management (per user per month) | USD 245 | USD 150 to USD 192 |
| Unified Operations Plan (per user per month) | USD 210 | USD 130 to USD 165 |
| Copilot for Dynamics 365 (per line, per user per month) | USD 50 | USD 30 to USD 40 |
| Customer Insights Data (per tenant per month) | USD 1,700 | USD 1,100 to USD 1,400 |
| Customer Insights Journeys (per tenant per month) | USD 1,700 | USD 1,100 to USD 1,400 |
Each industry vertical carries a documented 2026 Dynamics 365 renewal pattern. Read the Microsoft Fabric Negotiation, the Microsoft Power Platform Negotiation, and the Microsoft Teams Enterprise Negotiation.
The single largest commercial recovery vector on a 2026 Dynamics 365 renewal sits inside the user inventory. Every Dynamics 365 user account produces documented session, activity, and authentication telemetry inside the Microsoft 365 admin portal and the Dynamics 365 audit log.
Default 2026 Microsoft posture rolls the prior user pool forward without reconciliation against current named user requirements. The pool includes leavers, role changes that moved users out of CRM workflows, and shared workstation accounts that should have been removed at the prior renewal.
The reconciliation lives across the Dynamics 365 admin console, the Microsoft 365 admin portal, the Entra ID source of truth, the Workday or HR active employment record, and the Dynamics 365 audit log activity export.
Pull the Dynamics 365 user list filtered to documented active sign in within ninety days. Compare against the Entra ID provisioning source. Reconcile against the Workday or HR active employment status.
That count is the active named user baseline. Compare the active named user baseline against the contracted user pool per application.
The Customer Engagement Plan bundles Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, and Project Operations at USD 115 per user per month. The bundle compresses the cost when users actively consume three or more applications.
Most environments find a meaningful percentage of bundled users actually use only one or two applications. The procurement file should map active user usage per application against the bundle versus per application cost.
Users active on a single application should sit on the per application license at USD 105. Users active on two applications can run on the per application stack at USD 210 versus the bundle at USD 115. The break even moves toward the bundle only at three or more active applications.
Every 2026 Dynamics 365 renewal should land at the vendor with this evidence pack already filed inside the procurement record.
Dynamics 365 ships as a modular suite. Each application carries documented pricing, capability boundaries, and adjacent product overlap. Default 2026 posture sells the broader plan across the user pool rather than the right application per user.
The buyer side counter sizes each application against documented active usage. The sizing exercise compresses both the application footprint and the per user tier within each application.
Sales ships in three tiers. Sales Professional at USD 65 per user per month covers the basic CRM workflow. Sales Enterprise at USD 105 adds advanced configuration, custom entities, and broader workflow capability. Sales Premium at USD 150 adds Sales Insights and embedded LinkedIn Sales Navigator integration.
Most enterprise sales teams find Sales Enterprise meets the workflow requirement. The Premium tier pays back only at customers with active LinkedIn Sales Navigator usage and active Sales Insights adoption. The procurement file should map premium tier assignments against documented LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Sales Insights telemetry.
Customer Service Enterprise at USD 105 per user per month covers the case management and unified workspace. Customer Service Premium adds Customer Service Insights and embedded AI capability. The voice channel runs as a separate add on at USD 75 per user per month.
The 2024 to 2026 Copilot for Service rollout cannibalized selected Premium tier value. Customers should evaluate whether Premium pays back against the standalone Copilot for Service attach at USD 50 per user per month on Customer Service Enterprise.
Finance at USD 210 per user per month and Supply Chain Management at USD 245 per user per month together form the core ERP stack. The Unified Operations Plan at USD 210 bundles both at the Finance price point with selected feature reductions.
Most environments find the Unified Operations Plan compresses cost when both applications are in scope. Customers with Finance only or Supply Chain only deployments should remain on the per application license.
The activity add on user license at USD 50 per user per month covers occasional operations users who do not require full Finance or Supply Chain functionality. The procurement file should map full user assignments against documented activity patterns to identify activity add on candidates.
Commerce at USD 180 per user per month covers retail and omni channel commerce. Project Operations at USD 120 per user per month covers project based business workflows. Human Resources at USD 120 per user per month covers HR workflows where the customer does not run Workday or SAP SuccessFactors.
These three lines sit at the portfolio edge. Most customers carry one or none of these applications. The procurement file should evaluate each line against alternative platforms before renewal commitment.
The Copilot for Dynamics 365 lines have become strategic line items inside the 2026 Dynamics 365 renewal. Copilot for Sales, Copilot for Service, Copilot for Finance, Copilot for Field Service, and Copilot for Project Operations each price at USD 50 per user per month.
Default 2026 posture pulls Copilot seats broadly across the user pool. Most customers assign Copilot to every CRM or ERP user without measuring adoption. The contracted seat pool sits at one hundred percent of the application user headcount.
The Copilot adoption telemetry tells a different story. Documented average active usage rates across upper enterprise deployments sit at twenty five to forty five percent of assigned seats. Most assigned users either rarely use Copilot or abandon it after initial exposure.
The Dynamics 365 Copilot admin console exposes per user adoption telemetry. Active prompts, accepted suggestions, daily active users, and weekly active users each produce documented metrics. The metrics break down per Copilot line allowing per application adoption assessment.
The procurement file should pull ninety days of Copilot adoption telemetry per assigned seat per Copilot line. Active users with documented accepted suggestion counts above the active baseline justify continued seat assignment. Inactive or low activity users should rotate off the contracted pool.
The seat compression typically cuts each Copilot line by thirty to fifty five percent against the default broad assignment. The compression compounds across Copilot for Sales, Copilot for Service, Copilot for Finance, Copilot for Field Service, and Copilot for Project Operations.
Microsoft 365 Copilot at USD 30 per user per month covers Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. Copilot for Dynamics 365 at USD 50 per line covers the embedded Dynamics 365 workflows.
The 2024 to 2026 rollout introduced documented capability overlap. M365 Copilot covers Outlook email drafting that overlaps Copilot for Sales email drafting. Teams meeting summaries through M365 Copilot overlap Copilot for Sales meeting summaries.
The procurement file should map M365 Copilot capability against each Copilot for Dynamics 365 line. Users with active M365 Copilot may not need the dedicated Copilot for Sales subscription. Read the GitHub Enterprise Copilot Negotiation for the related developer Copilot framework.
Customer Insights ships in two distinct lines. Customer Insights Data covers data unification across customer touchpoints. Customer Insights Journeys covers marketing automation and journey orchestration.
Each line lists at USD 1,700 per tenant per month for the base capacity tier. The capacity tiers above the base ramp aggressively. The 2026 framework folds documented capacity growth across both lines into the renewal uplift.
Customer Insights Data bills against unique profile counts. The base tier covers ten thousand unique profiles. Capacity tiers above the base add cost at documented per profile rates that ramp into the seven figure range at upper enterprise scale.
The procurement file should pull documented unique profile counts from the Customer Insights tenant. Compare against the contracted capacity. Default 2026 posture funds capacity ahead of documented profile growth.
Right sizing the capacity tier against documented unique profile counts typically saves twenty to thirty percent against the contracted Customer Insights Data line.
Customer Insights Journeys bills against interactions. The base tier covers a fixed interaction allowance. Additional interaction packs ramp above the base at documented per pack rates.
The procurement file should pull documented interaction counts across the trailing twelve months. Compare against the contracted interaction allowance. Default 2026 posture funds interaction capacity ahead of documented usage.
The Customer Insights Journeys line replaced the legacy Dynamics 365 Marketing line in late 2023. Customers on the legacy Marketing line should evaluate the migration path including documented dual run cost during the transition.
Dataverse provides the data backbone across Dynamics 365 applications. Each Dynamics 365 application includes base Dataverse capacity per user. Additional capacity ships as separate add ons at documented per unit rates.
The 2026 framework folds documented Dataverse capacity growth across database, file, and log into the renewal uplift. Default 2026 posture funds capacity ahead of documented consumption rates.
The procurement file should pull documented Dataverse consumption across database, file, and log capacity from the Power Platform admin center. Compare against the contracted capacity per user across the application footprint.
Most environments find the included capacity per user exceeds active consumption. The contracted capacity add ons often size above documented growth rates. Right sizing the Dataverse capacity tier typically saves fifteen to twenty five percent against the contracted Dataverse add on line.
Power Platform extends Dynamics 365 with Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Pages. Each Power Platform line carries documented integration patterns with Dynamics 365.
The procurement file should evaluate Power Platform line consumption alongside Dynamics 365 consumption. Bundled commercial discussions across both portfolios typically compress aggregate cost by additional five to ten percent. Read the Microsoft Power Platform Negotiation.
Selected Dynamics 365 consumption can route through the Azure Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) vehicle in 2026. The drawdown applies to Customer Insights consumption tiers, selected Copilot for Dynamics 365 consumption, Dataverse capacity above the application base, and embedded Azure infrastructure.
The core Dynamics 365 application subscriptions remain on the standard Microsoft Customer Agreement enterprise pricing track. The MACC drawdown applies to the consumption tier above the application base.
Default 2026 posture leaves Dynamics 365 consumption outside the MACC drawdown vehicle. Customers with multi year MACC commitments should evaluate routing the consumption tier through the MACC.
The MACC drawdown break even test asks three questions. Does the customer have an active multi year MACC commitment? Does the customer face MACC drawdown shortfall risk in the current term? Does the MACC discount profile beat the standalone Dynamics 365 consumption profile?
Positive answers across all three justify MACC drawdown evaluation. The procurement file models the MACC drawdown scenario against the standalone Dynamics 365 commercial scenario across the consumption tier.
The MACC drawdown often beats the standalone Dynamics 365 commercial framework at upper enterprise scale on the consumption tier. The drawdown provides flexibility on commitment timing and absorbs commitment risk. Read the Microsoft Azure ELA Negotiation.
The MACC sits inside the broader Microsoft Enterprise Agreement framework. The MACC drawdown decision should coordinate with the broader Microsoft EA renewal cycle including Microsoft 365, Azure, GitHub, and the broader portfolio.
Customers with simultaneous Microsoft EA and Dynamics 365 renewals should structure both inside a single coordinated commercial discussion. The combined leverage typically compresses both lines by additional five to ten percent beyond the standalone optimization.
The procurement file should align Dynamics 365 term dates with the Microsoft EA term dates. The aligned dates simplify MACC drawdown management and unlock the combined commercial discussion. Read the Microsoft EA Renewal Playbook.
The 2026 Dynamics 365 commercial discussion carries a documented exit path against the alternative CRM and ERP platforms. Salesforce, SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Oracle Fusion ERP Cloud, HubSpot Enterprise, ServiceNow Customer Workflows, and selected Workday Enterprise modules each cover documented commercial pressure on the Dynamics 365 installed base.
The exit path does not require complete migration. The procurement file files the documented capability to migrate selective workloads against the Dynamics 365 commercial position.
Salesforce Sales Cloud and Service Cloud cover the CRM workflow with documented enterprise scale. The platform carries documented agent independence from Microsoft.
The 2026 Salesforce Sales Cloud Unlimited commercial framework prices at USD 500 per user per month at list with documented enterprise band compression. The 2026 Service Cloud Unlimited framework prices at USD 500 per user per month at list with documented enterprise band compression.
Customers consolidating CRM around Salesforce often find the platform compresses aggregate spend versus the Dynamics 365 Sales and Service Cloud bundle when Copilot for Dynamics 365 attach is included. Read the Salesforce Sales Cloud Negotiation and the Salesforce Service Cloud Negotiation.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud covers the back office ERP workflow with documented enterprise scale across Finance, Supply Chain, and Procurement. Oracle Fusion ERP Cloud covers the equivalent footprint with documented enterprise scale.
Both platforms compete directly with the Dynamics 365 Unified Operations stack. Customers consolidating ERP often find these platforms beat Dynamics 365 on Finance and Supply Chain footprint cost at upper enterprise scale.
The procurement file should evaluate the SAP and Oracle Fusion alternatives against the Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain commitment. Read the Oracle Fusion ERP Negotiation.
HubSpot Enterprise covers the simpler CRM workflow at lower per user rates. ServiceNow Customer Workflows covers the customer service workflow with integration to the broader ServiceNow platform.
Both platforms fit specific customer profiles. HubSpot fits customers with simpler CRM requirements. ServiceNow fits customers with established ServiceNow footprints seeking customer workflow consolidation.
The procurement file should evaluate these alternatives against the Dynamics 365 Sales and Customer Service commitment. Read the ServiceNow Now Platform Negotiation.
Across more than five hundred enterprise software engagements, six traps recur in 2026 Dynamics 365 renewals. Each carries a documented commercial cost. Each has a known corrective move inside the procurement file.
Pull the user list per application filtered to active sign in within ninety days. Compare against the Entra ID provisioning source. Reconcile against the Workday active employment status. Map active user usage per application against the Customer Engagement Plan versus per application break even.
The team that walks into the commercial discussion with reconciliation filed walks out with twenty to thirty eight percent recovery. The team that walks in without reconciliation walks out with twelve to twenty four percent uplift. The single biggest discriminator across five hundred engagements is whether the active named user baseline existed before the meeting started.
Pull Dynamics 365 Copilot admin console telemetry per assigned seat per Copilot line. Active prompts, accepted suggestions, daily active users, and weekly active users feed the adoption metric. Active users with documented accepted suggestion counts above the baseline justify seat retention. Inactive or low activity users rotate off the contracted pool.
The seat compression typically cuts each Copilot line by thirty to fifty five percent against the default broad assignment. Map M365 Copilot capability against each Copilot for Dynamics 365 line. Users with active M365 Copilot may not need the dedicated Copilot for Sales subscription. The compression compounds across all five Copilot for Dynamics 365 lines.
Pull documented unique profile counts and interaction counts from the Customer Insights tenant across the trailing twelve months. Compare against contracted capacity tiers. Default 2026 posture funds capacity ahead of documented consumption.
Right sizing the Customer Insights Data capacity against documented unique profile counts typically saves twenty to thirty percent against the contracted line. Right sizing the Customer Insights Journeys interaction capacity against documented interaction counts adds another fifteen to twenty five percent saving. The combined compression often runs into seven figures at upper enterprise scale.
Document the migration timeline with hard sunset dates for the legacy Customer Engagement or Customer Service generation. The 2026 framework should compress the migration window to a defined timeframe with documented exit criteria from the legacy generation.
Negotiate the dual run window with the vendor absorbing the legacy generation cost during the transition. The vendor benefits from the platform migration and should fund the transition cost. The procurement file documents the dual run cost during the negotiation and prices it into the commercial discussion as a vendor obligation.
Run the MACC drawdown break even test. Customers with active multi year MACC commitments, MACC drawdown shortfall risk, and MACC discount profiles beating standalone Dynamics 365 should route the consumption tier through the MACC vehicle. Align Dynamics 365 term dates with the Microsoft EA term dates.
Map every contracted Dynamics 365 application against the documented competitive equivalent. The Salesforce alternative maps to Sales and Customer Service. The SAP and Oracle Fusion alternatives map to Finance and Supply Chain. The HubSpot alternative maps to simpler Sales workflows.
File the exit path in the first commercial meeting. Reference it at every escalation point through the negotiation cycle. Cap annual uplift at three to four percent with downgrade rights.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 is the modular cloud business applications suite covering CRM and ERP workloads. The 2026 portfolio spans Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Customer Insights, Finance, Supply Chain Management, Commerce, Project Operations, and Human Resources.
Each application is sold as a per user per month subscription with additional consumption based add ons for Copilot, Dataverse storage, and Power Platform integration.
The 2026 Dynamics 365 list pricing runs from USD 65 per user per month on Sales Professional to USD 210 per user per month on Finance and USD 245 per user per month on Supply Chain Management.
Customer Engagement Plan bundles Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, and Project Operations at USD 115 per user per month. The Unified Operations Plan bundles Finance and Supply Chain at USD 210 per user per month. Negotiated bands at upper enterprise scale compress these by twenty to forty percent.
Documented opening commercial uplift bands of twelve to twenty four percent against the prior contracted Dynamics 365 run rate at upper enterprise scale.
The 2026 framework folds list price increases that took effect in October 2024, Copilot for Dynamics 365 upsell, dual run cost during platform generation migration, Customer Insights consumption growth, and the multi year commitment uplift.
Copilot for Dynamics 365 ships as separately licensed add ons across the application suite. Copilot for Sales, Copilot for Service, Copilot for Finance, Copilot for Field Service, and Copilot for Project Operations each list at USD 50 per user per month.
The 2026 negotiated bands compress these to USD 30 to USD 40 at upper enterprise scale with documented adoption telemetry. Most environments find a meaningful overlap with Microsoft 365 Copilot capability.
Twenty to thirty eight percent against the Dynamics 365 opening proposal across the contracted user pool.
Recovery requires documented user pool reconciliation against active named users, Copilot adoption tracking against assigned seats, Customer Insights consumption right sizing, dual run cost elimination during platform migration, MACC drawdown evaluation, and a documented Salesforce, SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Oracle Fusion ERP, and HubSpot exit path.
Selected Dynamics 365 consumption can route through the Azure Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment vehicle in 2026. The drawdown applies to Customer Insights, selected Copilot for Dynamics 365 consumption, Dataverse capacity above the application base, and embedded Azure infrastructure.
The core Dynamics 365 application subscriptions remain on the standard enterprise agreement. Customers with multi year MACC commitments should evaluate routing the consumption tier through the MACC vehicle to absorb commitment risk.
The contracted exit path covers documented migration to Salesforce Sales and Service Cloud, SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Oracle Fusion ERP Cloud, HubSpot Enterprise, ServiceNow Customer Workflows, and selected Workday Enterprise modules.
The documented exit path is a meaningful commercial leverage vector inside the 2026 Dynamics 365 commercial discussion alongside the MACC drawdown evaluation and the application by application right sizing levers.
Customer Insights ships in two distinct lines. Customer Insights Data runs at USD 1,700 per tenant per month for the data unification capability with capacity tiers above the base. Customer Insights Journeys runs at USD 1,700 per tenant per month with interaction based pricing above the base.
The 2026 framework sizes Customer Insights against documented unique profile counts, interaction volumes, and active campaign requirements. Default 2026 posture funds capacity ahead of documented adoption.

The Microsoft EA Renewal Playbook covers the full enterprise Microsoft Agreement framework including the MACC drawdown vehicle that selected Dynamics 365 consumption can route through at upper enterprise scale.
Used across more than five hundred enterprise engagements. Independent. Buyer side.
Microsoft had opened the 2026 Dynamics 365 renewal at a USD 14.2m three year commit across 6,800 users on Customer Engagement Plan, broad Copilot for Sales and Copilot for Service attach, and aggressive Customer Insights capacity assumptions.
Redress separated the contracted user pool from the active named user baseline per application. One thousand two hundred users were leavers, role changes, or shared workstation accounts. The active named user baseline was 5,600 after reconciliation.
The application by application sizing identified 2,400 users active on a single application who should sit on the per application license rather than the Customer Engagement Plan bundle. The bundle versus per application break even shifted the cost structure materially.
The Copilot for Sales adoption telemetry showed 1,800 active users out of 5,600 assigned seats. Copilot for Service adoption showed 2,100 active out of 5,600. Both Copilot lines compressed to active users plus headroom. The Customer Insights Data capacity right sized from the second tier back to the base tier on documented unique profile counts.
The 2026 renewal closed at USD 9.1m against the USD 14.2m opening proposal. Thirty six percent recovery on the contracted opening commercial proposal across the consolidated Dynamics 365 footprint. The MACC drawdown vehicle absorbed the consumption tier alongside the Microsoft EA renewal.
