Clone Commander is a solution by Ryse Technologies that automates the process of refreshing and preparing non-production environments in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management. This demo explains how Clone Commander uses built-in automation, scripts, and reusable recipes to streamline environment refreshes and reduce manual effort.
What Clone Commander Is Designed to Do
Clone Commander simplifies the preparation of non-production environments by automating tasks that are traditionally manual, repetitive, and error prone. It enables secure, repeatable environment refreshes that help teams maintain consistency when preparing environments for testing and validation.
Where Clone Commander Lives in Dynamics 365
Clone Commander is accessed directly within the System Administration module of Dynamics 365. From there, administrators use the Clone Commander cockpit to manage environment refresh activities.
