Directions EMEA 2023
Directions EMEA is the "Go To" place where Dynamics partners share the future. It's the preferred global community for collaborating and learning from Microsoft, MVPs, ISVs, VARs and their peers. The focus is on helping the SMB market unlock its full potential in technical, business development and strategy with ERP, CRM, and Cloud solutions, including the Microsoft Power Platform, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and Azure.
When AL came, it also meant no more casual changes to Business Central without enlisting a developer who could do AL. This landscape is changing fast. There are several options for non-developers to customize many aspects of Business Central. Many new tools are available ... and then there's even the Power Platform also with a whole new perspective on what development for BC means. This session presents all the options a non-developer has available.
