Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources (formerly called Dynamics 365 Talent) is Microsoft’s brand new cloud HR application for HR leaders. On 1 February 2020, Dynamics 365 Talent was no longer available for purchase. Its replacement is Dynamics 365 Human Resources.
Dynamics 365 Human Resources is packed with new features for human resources professionals, contains core HR capability and can add on LinkedIn functionality to manage talent acquisition and learning. For some existing users of Dynamics 365 Talent, this will be more of a name change than anything else, while for other organisations, this change could have a significant impact. The core HR functionality of Dynamics 365 Talent will continue to be offered through Dynamics 365 Human Resources. Customers who utilise Core HR will not have to do anything and continue to use the functionality as Microsoft will automatically switch you over to the new product.
For users of the Dynamics 365 Talent modular apps, Attract and Onboard, things are a little more complex. These apps are being retired as Microsoft leverages its ownership of LinkedIn. Most importantly, existing users of the applications still have time to plan. The Attract and Onboard services will continue to be available until 1 February 2022. Critical support for the apps will end on 1 February 2022 and no new features will be added. The best route for customers using Attract and/or Onboard is to work out a transition plan before their contract ends, or by February 2022 at the latest. Below is a summary of the main changes.
Dynamics 365 Talent to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources
Microsoft has rebranded Dynamics 365 Talent as Dynamics 365 Human Resources. On the 1 February 2020, Dynamics 365 Talent ceased to be sold. The Attract and Onboard service will be available until 1 February 2022, or until your contract ends, whichever occurs first. Below are some of the other changes.
LinkedIn is taking the lead on Talent Acquisition, Learning and People Success applications. LinkedIn Talent Hub is a new applicant tracking system (ATS) that became available on 26 September 2019. LinkedIn Learning and Glint complete the portfolio of Talent Management solutions.
Attract and Onboard
Dynamics 365 Talent included Attract, Onboard and Core HR. Attract and Onboard are retiring, and Core HR is now the new Dynamics 365 Human Resources.
Attract – retiring 1 February 2022
Eligible customers using the Attract app may continue to use it through 1 February 2022 or until the end of their most recent Dynamics 365 contract or renewal, whichever occurs first.
Microsoft will offer a migration path to LinkedIn Talent Hub. The initial release of LinkedIn Talent Hub supports customers with less than 1000 employees. Data export tools will be available from within Attract to help customers transition to the Talent Acquisition solution of their choosing.
Onboard – retiring 1 February 2022
Eligible customers using the Onboard app may continue to use it through 1 February 2022 or until the end of their most recent Dynamics 365 contract or renewal, whichever occurs first. Migration tools will be provided within the Onboard app to help customers export onboarding guides.
Core HR – becomes Dynamics 365 Human Resources on 1 February 2020
Microsoft Dynamics 365 HR is taking the lead on operational HR and workforce management. Dynamics 365 Talent’s Core HR capabilities will release as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources on 3 February 2020. Customers who are utilising the core HR capabilities within Dynamics 365 Talent will have their service continued under the Dynamics 365 Human Resources brand with no disruption in service and no migration required.
The launch of Dynamics 365 Human Resources will help HR teams to go beyond human capital management to balance operational excellence, organisational agility and the employee experience, ultimately creating a workplace where people and the business can thrive.
