Microsoft presents: Unlocking the Nonprofit Opportunity- A Scalable NFP Growth Play for BC Partners

In this session we introduce Microsoft Elevate to Asia Business Central partners and translate its mission into a practical partner growth play. Elevate is designed to help nonprofits and educational institutions thrive by equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and tools to use AI responsibly and effectively, while keeping people at the center of innovation.
Nonprofit organizations are facing increasing service demand, staffing constraints, and financial complexity, and are turning to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as a modern cloud based ERP to run mission critical operations more efficiently. For Business Central partners, this represents a high growth, repeatable industry opportunity.
This session focuses on how Business Central partners can successfully build and scale a nonprofit practice. Using real partner insights and field data, we will show how Business Central, extended with Power Platform and connected to Dynamics 365 Sales, is being used as the operational backbone for finance, reporting, service delivery, and donor engagement.
This is a strategy and best practice session for partners looking to unlock new growth with Business Central in a purpose driven vertical.
