Here’s a summary of all the updates from your trusted advisors:

Dynamics 365 Human Resources is a standalone application that runs on separate architecture than Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. However, the module will now integrate into the same infrastructure as other Finance and Operations apps with the merger.
