Does Microsoft have an online demo or playground set up for testing and demoing the Employee Self Service Suite?

    Maulik,

    those videos are not referring to Dynamics GP, which is an on-prem ERP from Microsoft.. Not the same product at all. Dynamics 365 != Dynamics GP

    That is correct, there is no Business Portal install for GP 2015.  Thanks

    Thank you for the responses, Terry and Beat!  Because GP 2015 now has the built-in Self Service functionality, does that mean the self service suite used with Business Portal will go away?

    Hi Debra, it is Terry, nice to hear from you!

    The image we have for GP 2015 is available on MSDN Azure gallery.     Below is a link that explains what is available on that link and how to get started. 

    Announcing, Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 image available in the MSDN Azure gallery. http://community.dynamics.com/gp/b/gpteamblog/archive/2015/01/19/announcing-microsoft-dynamics-gp-2015-image-available-in-the-msdn-azure-gallery.aspx

    This link talks about how to activate the Azure benefits. http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/MSDN-Subscriptions/Activate-MSDN-Azure-Benefits

    The only other thing I’ve heard of is the sandbox on GPUG site. 

    What I do a lot is in Fabrikam, you can create a limited user, only assign them the 5 ESS roles, then attach to an employee and review from there.

    If you would like some one on one assistance/training get it setup, partners could email napa@microsoft.com

    Thanks

    Hi Deborah,

    Not as I'm aware of... unless you're an MSDN Enterprise registered customer and have access to Azure where you could pick-up a GP2013 or GP2015 VM image and setup for your own testing..

    The point with the new ESS is that it requires quite a bit of setup and configuration to work with regular employees (even to test with dummy users), because of all the work-flow and identity management that is involved. It's not something that you have ready to run in 5 min...

    GPUG has a Sandbox setup on their Collaborate forum that you can register for a 24hr period if you're a GPUG member (you can use a trial registration for one month for free). However, that Sandbox is only exposed to the users thru the GP web client, as this is running on Azure, but you don't have access to the full box running the system. But in some ways it should allow you to get a glimpse of the new ESS feature.

    There are also a few Videos posted by Microsoft on Youtupe..

    Good luck.
