Steve Ballmer and Jeff Raikes launched the Microsoft's People-Ready vision.
At the core of this is the idea that software that empowers people will help businesses achieves next level of productivity gains.A people-ready business knows that people are its most important asset, and it empowers its people to drive the business forward. When individuals realize their potential, your company realizes its potential.

What is the importance of this "People Ready Vision" on Dynamics software?
Technology can transform an organization. Technology must be designed in such a way that it enables our customers to accelerate returns on their biggest investment—their people.

One of the core themes for the Dynamics Wave 1 releases is around “roles based” user experience. The User Experience teams have done some amazing work in doing the deep anthropological research for each of the roles within business and this context is what is influencing the significant investments Microsoft is making in delivering user experiences that transcend both Dynamics and Office “personalized” for the specific role.

So, Dynamics-Nav 5.0 will be strongly focussed on the "role based user experience". You can expect a lot of it as the impact will be great. We will now have a software solution that was really designed from a user perspective and this is great news. Currently we know user profiles only from a security point of view. Now each role in the company will have focussed functionality and clear defined and visualised flows.
The good news doesn't stop with the role based focus of Dynamics-Nav. The 'people perspective' is also realised by making the MS office integration much stronger. MS Office is also redesigned with the 'people ready vision'.
