Unlocking Seamless Integration: Mastering Messaging Patterns with Azure and Business Central

11:15 - 12:00 Aud. Pasteur Back to event schedule

Messaging services are one of the most widely used integration services. They are critical to keeping systems like CRM and ERP up-to-date and connected to legacy systems that cannot expose APIs or are not always available.

The good news? Azure provides a significant number of messaging services. The bad news? So many that sometimes people can become confused about how to implement well-known patterns using those components.

Although there is never just one way to implement those patterns, the right combination of components will help you to implement those patterns more quickly or efficiently.

In this session, Tharanga Chandrasekara (Business Solutions MVP) and Steve Gichure will discuss what technologies are available in Azure for Messaging and common messaging patterns. This session will be fully hands-on!
