Microsoft AppSource - the guide to the most important questions

Almost all of us use a smartphone along with additional installed apps. Always ready to install and loaded with extra features, they enrich our beloved smartphones and make them even more useful. Wouldn’t it be great if the same applied to solutions like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central? Absolutely! And the best part: it already exists today under the name AppSource.

Much like the app store on your smartphone, AppSource apps for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central can be opened directly and installed with a single click. Sounds interesting? Here you’ll find the most important questions and answers on the topic.

Microsoft AppSource is a platform where software providers offer digital business applications and services. Through this online store for add-ons or apps, customers can find and use software services, for example for products related to Dynamics 365.

In addition to trial versions and free solutions, AppSource mainly offers a wide range of apps tailored to professional use. With the right app, companies can simplify their business processes or even automate them. Additional topics such as EDI or the integration of handheld scanners are also often addressed this way.

When AppSource was first launched, it mainly offered apps related to the Dynamics family. Over time, not only has the importance of AppSource grown, but also the variety of its offerings. Today, apps are available for Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, the Power Platform, and Azure Cloud Solutions.

An app can be a small, single functional extension. However, there are also apps that provide an entire set of functions and significantly expand an ERP system.

• Wide selection of apps with detailed descriptions
• Apps in AppSource are always available for the latest Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central version – including future updates
• Apps can be added quickly and easily, extending Microsoft software with the additional functions you need
• Apps can be tested in advance, as providers offer them either completely free of charge or with a free trial period. If users are satisfied, they can then use them productively with a license fee
• Most apps are designed to be intuitive and come with a setup wizard that enables a fast start
• In general, the apps are compact and highly focused on a specific topic. You can expect market-standard, tailored pricing

Looking for a solution on a specific topic? Simply enter the search term in the search and filter option, and relevant results will be displayed immediately. If you’re searching for a solution from a specific provider, you can also search directly by vendor or product name. Whether filtering by app, consulting service, or partner – the search is, in typical Microsoft fashion, completely intuitive.

The requirements to purchase an app are minimal. Based on the target environment you already use, such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, all you need is an Azure Active Directory account – also known as a business or school account.

Already using Microsoft 365? Perfect – your login details are all you need. Alternatively, when purchasing an app, you will be taken directly to the login page. Registration is, of course, free of charge.

• Free trial: Many apps are available as free trial versions. This gives you the opportunity to test the features and then decide whether the app is right for you.

• Get in touch: Questions or uncertainties? You can, of course, contact the app providers at any time.

• Download now: For those who know exactly what they want, there’s the “Download now” button. Simply click, enter your details, and the app is yours.

Each app comes with manufacturer information and a direct contact. This is your first stop if you’d like to learn more. In addition, most apps provide a detailed online help guide, which you can access directly from within the app. As a general rule, it’s also a good idea to check in with your supporting partner. They can often recommend suitable apps – and may even be able to contribute their own expertise.

For details on pricing, please contact the manufacturer or your partner directly. At present, direct payment via AppSource is not available for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

The apps are installed directly in the target software. You don’t need your own servers or additional resources right away. Depending on the app, however, further resources may be required. The manufacturer will provide the relevant information.

The apps can be used in both on-premises and SaaS installations. Access is especially straightforward from public cloud environments – simply click the “Get it now” button, and the installation runs in the background.
