15th & 16th October 2024

British Motor Museum, Warwickshire
Stay up to speed with all the latest developments in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central & Power Platform at our complimentary customer day (now called Business Central Connect) on Tuesday, 15th October 2024.
Following on from last year's successful event, we have moved to an exciting new venue - the British Motor Museum in Warwickshire. With the world’s largest collection of historic British cars, and many stars of the silver screen (from Back to the Future to Bond), it all adds up to a truly special day to be remembered. As well all the education and learning you’d expect from a customer day, you will also have the chance to join a private tour of the museum. We are limited on numbers for the the museum tours, so make sure you book early if that's something you don't want to miss!
Delta by Marriott Warwick
This day will focus on the practical application of Dynamics 365 Business Central within key business functions, split into three completely different role-based tracks: Financials, Inventory & Planning and Trade: Sales & Purchasing.
Each track will concentrate on a recap of the important but simple stuff, as well as the new features you may have missed. They’ll also be an opportunity to quiz the experts to resolve any queries that you have, and an opportunity for you to try new stuff on the day! If you're on SaaS make sure your laptop has access to your Sandbox (so you can experiment with your own data on the day). Not yet on Saas? Don't worry there's a general Sandbox with demo data you can use on the day.
Just off Junction 15 of the M40, the Delta by Marriott Warwick is conveniently located just 15 minutes from the British Motor Museum.

Please pick one from the sessions below
How quickly will you lose competitiveness if you don't start adopting AI? What's the best approach to introduce it to your company and what are the best use cases out there?
Reporting has always been top of the dissatisfaction list for first NAV and now Business Central. Microsoft have actively improved what the core product is capable of (to the point of buying into third party tools) but there is also a market for ISVs still. Attend this session to understand the pros and cons of each option and discover if you're still using the right options.
The AI advances with large language models are probably writing your child's homework these days! So, why not use it to help communicate with your customers? Discover how Microsoft has leveraged its stake in ChatGPT to revolutionise its CRM products and how they can work with your Business Central - at a cost that has never been lower!
Who enjoys or has enough time for testing? Is repeating the same transactions every month a good use of your best people's time? Discover how Microsoft's new tool can be used to save and repeat tests like a macro. Use your time for new tests rather than repeating old ones regardless of your addons or customisations.
We all want a quiet time relating to Dynamics right? This session will run through the best practise making sure your obsolete data doesn't prevent your system working perfectly and explain how Cloud Control can keep it in its best health.
Microsoft and Clever Dynamics have focused on widening the manufacturing options over the last few major releases of Business Central - so the way you were originally configured is likely significantly outdated. Come to this session to understand what's changed and the options available to you.
Are you ready to track and report on your company’s environmental impact? Track and report your carbon emissions directly within your Business Central. Start your journey to net zero with Continia today!
12.40pm-2.00pm | Buffet Lunch
Still copying and pasting the chart of accounts into Excel for your board reports? Microsoft has improved the built in reporting tools significantly - is it time to give them another look to understand how you can remove delays and reduce the effort?
We're so convinced that one of the use cases for Power Apps could apply to your business that we'll give you a prize if it doesn't. This session will cover five common Power Apps use cases so we're pretty confident that one or more will apply to your business. Spoiler alert: if anyone at your company completes any Excel, or paper based forms, you're going to lose.
Business Central has a new workflow option that finally has the flexibility we've dreamed of! While you might still use the 'old approvals' no one thought it was a flexible solution. Come to this session to see example use cases way beyond 'approvals' that can automate processes, save time and remove customisation.
Business Central scales to thousands of users with billions of transactions but is yours still slow? Well the tough truth is that its likely to be the way it's used rather than an inherent issue these days. Come to this session to see the dos and don'ts for good performance and what steps to take to rapidly diagnose when you get the dreaded sandtimer.
We all know that a smooth Business Central system is reliant upon accurate master and transactional data. But, how do you ensure that it stays right without reviewing every entry? See how AI can help you to construct the filters that confirm new dataflows, the rules you define and even find the discrepancies in your existing data before they impact your business.
Explore the evolving B2B sales landscape with Experlogix. Learn how Business Central combined with the Experlogix suite of low-code SaaS solutions help manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors drive value and ROI. Discover how AI-driven tools like CPQ Sales Portal and Digital Commerce are reshaping B2B selling.
We often see Excel being used where it shouldn't. When we ask why, it's because 'we couldn't get worksheet X to give us the right answers'. Usually that’s because your master data or setup isn't right. Stop your Dynamics consultants crying at night by learning about the Planning, Requisition & Subcontractor worksheets so you can use the system you're paying for in the way you've always wanted.

It's argued that your company's data is its most valuable asset, so isn't getting its security right worth a few minutes of your time? Microsoft have continually improved Business Central's security in then last few releases but you have to adopt the new capabilities. Come to this session to learn our new best practise approach to making your system secure.
You have lots of data but unlocking the answers it contains takes too much time and specialist knowledge. This session will explain how the new AI tools make that much easier for your people, customers and vendors.
Want to enhance efficiency, boost visibility of finance data, reduce errors and cyber security threats in your finance function? Then this session is a must! Discover how to optimise Business Central by streamlining bank rec and payment processes, with Yavrio’s seamless bank integration and new embedded payments solutions.
For multinationals or group companies, making sure every piece of data gets to where it needs to and remains 'in sync', is a hugely time-consuming, unavoidable task. See the tools and share the best practice from setting up hundreds of automated data syncs and intercompany scenarios. Come along to check your setup is as good as it should be and learn what you need to be aiming for in the future.
Join eOne Solutions and unlock the potential of your data with eOnes iPaaS. In this session, we’ll explore innovative strategies to streamline data management and enhance visualisation across all your apps. Whether you’re a data analyst, IT professional, or business leader, this session offers valuable insights to optimise your data processes and achieve significant cost savings.
Microsoft and Clever Dynamics have focused on widening the WMS options over the last few major releases of Business Central. So the way you were originally configured may not be what you would do if implementing today. Come to this session to understand what's changed and the options available, so you can make an informed decision.
