Exhibit

Answer Area

• Dynamics 365 is an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution.No
• A Microsoft 365 subscription includes a free subscription to Dynamics 365.No
• Dynamics 365 has an integrated customer relationship management (CRM) application that uses Microsoft 365 Apps.Yes

Explanation

All three statements are false because Dynamics 365 is a SaaS solution, requires separate licensing from Microsoft 365, and its CRM applications are native to its platform rather than dependent on Microsoft 365 Apps.

Approach. Statement 1: Select 'No'. Dynamics 365 is a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, providing ready-to-use business applications (ERP and CRM) hosted by Microsoft. It is not Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which involves provisioning foundational computing resources like VMs and virtual networks.

Statement 2: Select 'No'. Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 are completely separate product suites with their own distinct licensing models. A Microsoft 365 subscription does not include a free subscription to Dynamics 365.

Statement 3: Select 'No'. Dynamics 365 consists of multiple CRM and ERP applications (e.g., Sales, Customer Service) built on the Dataverse platform. While these applications integrate heavily with Microsoft 365 Apps (like Outlook, Excel, and Teams) to enhance productivity, they are standalone solutions that do not 'use' Microsoft 365 Apps as their underlying engine or requirement to function as a CRM.

Common mistakes.

• common_mistake. Selecting 'Yes' for statement 1 confuses SaaS (software provided over the internet) with IaaS (rented IT infrastructure). Selecting 'Yes' for statement 2 assumes all Microsoft cloud products are bundled, which is incorrect as they are licensed separately. Selecting 'Yes' for statement 3 misinterprets product integration as a strict dependency; Dynamics 365 CRM apps work independently of M365 apps, even though they work better together.

Concept tested. Cloud Service Models (SaaS vs. IaaS), Microsoft Cloud Licensing, and the distinction/integration between Dynamics 365 and Microsoft 365.
