Business Central Customization: AL Extensions vs. Low-Code - Making the Right Choice
With rapidly changing business landscape, Dynamics 365 Business Central needs a lot more capabilities added with it, to fit unique business requirements. While there are several ways to customize Business Central, picking the right method of customization leads to evaluating the need of the business in a correct way.
Should you invest in traditional AL extensions for deep customization, or can you achieve your goals faster and more cost-effectively with low-code solutions such as Power Automate and Power Apps?
This session aims to share the best decision-making process, to help one choose the right customization path based on the business needs, resources, and long-term goals.
We will break down the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches, based on our experience.
The session will address the following:
1. When to use AL extensions—perfect for complex, deep integrations and intricate business logic that cannot be easily achieved with low-code tools.
2. When to leverage low-code solutions—Power Platform tools like Power Automate, Power Apps, and Dataverse offer quick, flexible solutions for automating workflows, managing data, and building user-friendly applications with minimal coding.
3. How to combine both strategies—create a hybrid approach that utilizes the strengths of AL for robust customization while harnessing the speed and flexibility of low-code solutions.
