The Modern Business Central Consultant: Unicorns Wanted

What Does It Mean to Be a Modern Business Central Consultant in 2025 (and Beyond)?
Spoiler alert: it’s not just about knowing your way around the chart of accounts, dimensions and posting groups anymore.

Today’s Business Central functional consultant is a next-gen hybrid: part domain expert, part low-code wizard, part data whisperer, and full-on strategic advisor.
With tools like Copilot and the Power Platform at your fingertips, the role is shifting from “functional support” to “digital transformation catalyst.”
In this fast-paced, future-facing session, we’ll explore how the consultant’s role is evolving—and why that’s not just necessary, but exciting.
With Microsoft doubling down on AI, automation, and cross-platform integration, BC consultants are uniquely positioned to lead. But to do that, we must evolve too.

Whether you’re hiring BC talent and wondering what a unicorn looks like, a seasoned pro ready to reinvent, or a rising star eager to stand out, this session is your playbook for what’s next.

You’ll learn:
✔ The essential skills for 2025 and beyond—from Power Platform fluency to emotional intelligence
✔ How to co-create with AI (before it replaces you)
✔ Why empathy, communication, and business acumen are your most powerful tools
✔ Real-world use cases where consultants elevated outcomes—no dev team required

No demos. No fluff. Just the truth about where we’re headed—and how to get ahead of it.

Julien Chambon

BC Practice Lead - Infinity Group

Once upon a time, I was a Chartered Accountant — living the dream of month-ends, management packs, and spreadsheets galore. Then I saw the light (or maybe just another Excel crash) and decided to swap numbers for innovation, diving headfirst into the world of technology.
Over 15 years later, I’ve lived and breathed Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Business Central — as an end user, a consultant, and a leader. I spent 7 years working at award-winning Bam Boom Cloud, and for the past 18 months, I’ve been proudly heading up the Business Central practice at Infinity Group — finalists for BC Partner of the Year 2024.
I’m genuinely passionate about Business Central — not just as a platform, but as a way to help businesses transform and thrive. And yes, even after all these years, I still love getting under the bonnet and getting my hands dirty in the system!
