Microsoft is doing an awesome job with loads of training videos for Partners, but I found them too generic and broad.

With this video series I'm trying to give you more bite-sized videos on all the specific topics regarding the Dynamics 365 Contact Center (with a sidestep towards Case Management here and there ;)).

Underneath are the topics that are on my current list to produce together with the links to the YouTube videos for the ones that are already there.

Or check out my full YouTube Channel here: Power Pete - YouTube

As you can see this list is growing rapidly, so if you have requests or ideas, please drop me a message!
