Exercise - Deploy the Store operations solution

  • 4 minutes

Microsoft Cloud for Retail includes solutions that are built on capabilities within Microsoft Power Platform. To set up these solutions, use Microsoft Cloud Solution Center.

Solution Center guides you through and simplifies the deployment process. It checks licensing requirements and dependencies to ensure that you have everything you need for your deployment. In this exercise, acting as the System Administrator, Reed Smith, you deploy the Store operations solution from the Solution Center.

  1. Go to Microsoft Cloud Solution Center in a new tab in the same InPrivate or Incognito browser. Sign in using the credentials of Reed Smith.

  2. Select Retail under Industry Clouds section.
