Lenore Flower
Working with data in D365 applications gets a lot easier once you know what’s going on under the hood. While most users don’t need a developer-level knowledge of D365’s data infrastructure, everyone benefits from understanding how the data infrastructure that supports each D365 application works together. This low-jargon tour of how D365 data flows from your fingertips to underlying data models (and back!) will help you better understand both how and why D365 systems work the way they do. Learn the underlying data anatomy of each “family” of D365 applications, including how that logic defines your options for integration with other tools, such as Fabric and the Power Platform.

Jacob Pepper and Mason Whitaker
By 2025, Generation Z (born 1996-2012) are expected to outnumber baby boomers in the workforce for the first time. Unlike previous generations, the median tenure for workers aged 25-34 with their current employer is around 2.7 years, which is significantly shorter than generations past. Additionally, 55.3% of recent grads leave their first positions within the first year. Recruiting and maintaining top Gen Z talent in the Dynamics channel requires a different approach. Like generations before them, Gen Z brings with them different expectations around work-life integration, professional development, digital-first workplaces, and personalized experiences such as flexible hours and remote work options. This session will dive into practical strategies for hiring, supporting, and empowering Gen Z talent in your organization. Mason and Jacob will share real success stories, followed by a Q&A to address your specific challenges and questions.

Manufacturing Lead Times—Make Planning Their Master, Not Their Victim

Nigel Cox
Many assume that Manufacturing Lead times are something they experience and cannot control. The truth is the opposite. Enjoy this session to find out how you can manage production lead times and make them MUCH more predictable. It's not about just production run times! Choose a specific sales line and, as a planner, ask yourself how long it should take. Now ask yourself how long it would take if your CEO told you that it MUST ship tomorrow! Would you be managing lead times then? I'm betting that it is quite the range. So come and learn what you SHOULD plan on and how to tell D365SCM (helpful to Business Central as well) to use that number. . .

The Ultimate Power Slam: Dynamics 365 vs Power Pages Portals
Crystal Ballroom B-West Tower

Angeliki Patsiavou and Nick Doelman
In the grand arena of CRM development, Dynamics 365 apps have been the reigning champions. The speed of development and extensibility for business users is unparalleled. But what if you need a web experience for external users with Power Pages? It is not a simple one-to-one replication. And this is where the royal rumble starts; stakes are high and competition is fierce. You need the ultimate Power Platform tag team, built on the robust foundations of Dataverse. As it’s not just a 121 replication, you need to understand how to transfer well-known features such as forms, views, and permissions into a fighting fit portal. This session will showcase the best no-code/low-code techniques as the high-flying moves that extend Dynamics 365 into Power Pages without a full-stack developer. For those tougher opponents of configuration, it will also demonstrate how to collaborate with them to build sustainable websites, ensuring your apps remain the undisputed champions in the digital arena.

While Business Central provides a wide range of standard functionality suitable for many different types of organizations, most organizations also have unique requirements and complexities that require something beyond what is available in the standard product. At this point, a decision must be made on how to proceed: adapt existing processes to match the standard functionality, deploy a third-party App, or build a custom App. This decision can have a significant long-term impact on how Business Central is used and what level of maintenance is required. During this session we will review the pros and cons of each of these options. We will also provide various factors that should be considered when evaluating these options in order to make the best decision on how to move forward.

Did you know that D365 Finance and Supply Chain Management has a Tax Engine? D365 Finance and Supply Chain Management includes a Tax Engine that enables users to set up rules for determining tax application. This feature is designed to streamline and automate the tax calculation process, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring compliance with tax regulations. Allowing users to override tax codes on a case-by-case basis can provide flexibility while still maintaining control over tax calculations. This ensures that if there are exceptions or specific circumstances where the default tax rules don't apply, users can make adjustments as needed. By centralizing tax management within the system and providing options for user overrides, D365 Finance and Supply Chain Management aims to help businesses manage their tax obligations more efficiently and accurately, reducing the risk of audit failures or overpayment of taxes.
