What is a major benefit of deploying M365 and D365 in the same tenant?

Deploying Microsoft 365 (M365) and Dynamics 365 (D365) in the same tenant provides the significant benefit of the ability to display data in Power BI from both environments. When both services are under the same tenant, users can easily create reports and dashboards that pull data from M365 applications, like SharePoint and Teams, as well as from D365 apps, such as Sales and Customer Service. This seamless integration enables organizations to consolidate their reporting and analytics efforts, providing a comprehensive view of data across the two platforms.

Working within the same tenant streamlines authentication and authorization processes, allowing for smoother data connectivity within Power BI. Users benefit from not having to manage multiple credentials or configurations for data access, which simplifies the overall user experience. Moreover, combining data from these platforms enhances analytics capabilities, allowing organizations to make better-informed decisions based on a holistic view of their operations, insights, and trends derived from unified data.

In contrast, while having a better user interface integration or enhanced security protocols can be relevant considerations, they are not the primary advantages that come directly from deploying both services in the same tenant. Similarly, reduced subscription costs might be an indirect outcome depending on the organization’s licensing agreements but is not inherently guaranteed by deploying both services in
