A couple of items stand out.

Clearly the HTML 5 based web client is the star of the show. Other items are rounding out previous features by adding Project Accounting support to Requisitions, scanning and Document Attach improvements and more All-In-One looks.

Increased Distribution Reference field size stuck out for me because that’s been the same length forever. Increasing the size of a field is no mean feat since any number of other internal modules or external applications might feed that field.

PowerBI charts on the Role center stuck out to. GP’s last set of online dashboards were a bit like the web client. Almost as soon as they were released for Office 365, Microsoft rolled out a new version of PowerBI that was dramatically different. The GP team kept highlighting them even as MS kept announcing the death of that particular delivery method. It’s nice to see that like moving the web client from Silverlight to HTML, the team is migrating BI to the new PowerBI.
