Company background: "HSO is the second largest Microsoft partner in the globe," Holwagner reports. It focuses on industries including professional services, manufacturing, finance, and the public sector. HSO continues to grow not only with its traditional ERP services but also around cloud and AI services. "The mission here is really to improve our clients' business performance with the results of Microsoft solutions."AI's market impact: "It's definitely a transformation happening faster than anything I've seen before," Holwagner says. While there's already been significant advancements with AI, it's still only the beginning of what has yet to be built out and understood. He breaks down AI across four different roles:At the top level, boards and owners are pushing for areas of efficiency to stay competitive, reimagining the business model using AI.The next level is the CTO or an IT manager; they have efficiency demands, but they're also primarily thinking about how to contain information and data in a security model.The business leaders or department heads are being tasked to think about efficiency using AI but they're mostly busy keeping their engine going. They need tools that show them where to get ROI.The last level is HR, which might be considering where AI is filling in for various jobs.Perspectives for applying AI: HSO looks from a responsibility perspective in three different areas. First, it aims to educate customers on what's possible while also focusing on what's doable. Second is protection, which involves having control over your domain information. The third area is thinking about use cases for specific AI components.Organizational transformation: With the introduction of AI, there's a transformation happening across organizations in a variety of industries. AI has been thought of as a technical element when it needs to be included in functional conversation, especially for consulting businesses, Holwagner notes. Leaders and managers must understand the concepts of weaving in AI to give it value. AI transformation will likely lead to a "healthy reduction in certain areas" in the workforce, but "the transformation of what people are going to do in the organization is going to change." It will be more business logic transformation consulting and fewer hands-on the keyboard-related tasks, Holwagner shares.Summit NA: HSO will be attending Community Summit North America. You can connect with HSO at booth #209. The HSO team will be presenting several sessions throughout the event as well, including:The Latest D365 AI Agents and Features to Automate Your Supply Chain on Monday, October 20thDelivering a Scalable, Secure Data & AI Platform on Monday, October 20th3 Hidden Risks of AI in the Enterprise—and How to Manage Them Responsibly on Tuesday, October 21stSolving Customer Master Data Challenges for a 360° View in Dynamics 365 CE (CRM) and F/SCM (FO) on Wednesday, October 22nd Visit Cloud Wars for more.

This episode is sponsored by SignUp Software.   The experience of deploying and managing a Dynamics 365 F&SCM solution can look quite different for the customer compared to their Microsoft partner. But as these two counterparts on an ERP project make decisions to move a project forward, they must contend with a series of key decisions related to ISV solutions including vendor selection, architecture decisions, and user adoption plans.   To understand more about ISV selection challenges specific to AP automation for D365 F&SCM, our guests, Rachel Ackerman of Microsoft partner Caf2Code and Josh Torres of SignUp Software join us to talk both real world experiences and recommendations for organizations considering their next move.   Ackerman brings a particularly unique perspective, having spent several years working for D365 F&SCM and AX customer organizations to deploy and administer their ERP solutions, including their AP automation add-on solutions. Now working for a Microsoft partner, she is helping a range of D365 customers across industries with both their D365 deployments and their ISV selection.   Rachel and Josh discuss what real AP automation selection and deployment looks like including considerations like whether to go with an embedded solution, the importance of reliable and accurate data capture for invoices, and the outcomes customers should expect from their AP automation investments.   More from Signup Software: If you'd like to learn more about AP automation in Dynamics 365, visit signupsoftware.com or connect with them on LinkedIn.

What's new for Business Central 2025? Microsoft's wave 2 release focuses heavily on all things AI, Copilot and Agents, we discuss their development and roll out into Business Central and what to expect as they enter general availability. The latest Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central release plan also includes more financial management updates, improving usability and reporting, as well as supply chain improvements and a new quality app allowing for more flexible checking. The start of autumn will also see the first Business Central price increase in almost 10 years, so maybe now is the time to consider license purchases to lock in current pricing? *Information Update NoticeWe mention that it has been 10 years since the last Microsoft Business Central Price increase. For your information, please note that the correct period is 5 years. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode is sponsored by SignUp Software. On this episode we are discussing the opportunity to solve sophisticated finance challenges with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. My guests are Bob Monio of SignUp Software and Morgan Prengler of Sksoft. Their organizations have partnered for years, and they say the newest phase of their alliance will lead to new and improved solutions and programs to address the needs of finance teams in areas like AP, payments, reconciliation, and reporting. Bob and Morgan both share use cases from recent customers and some of the emerging patterns that they have observed in the last twelve months around advanced financial solutions and modernization initiatives. They also explain why they are using the strategic narrative of the CFO stack and the value of bringing audit, spending, and control under one roof.

In this episode of the Office of the CFO Podcast, John Siefert hosts Rob Ashe, VP of North America, SignUp Software, and Blaine Grzegorek, Senior Solution Architect, Sikich, for a conversation on the benefits of partnering with ISVs, top considerations when selecting an ISV, and the impact of AI agents.Key Takeaways:  Risks of building your own solutions: One major risk that's becoming more prominent is having the expertise in-house to build custom solutions. Another hurdle is the upfront costs compared to subscription costs associated with many ISVs. Oftentimes, Ashe notes, "You have to spend a lot of capital on new tools...to make this new solution or change a process." Grzegorek suggests a third challenge which is meeting compelx needs. Oftentimes, industry expertise is also required, as you may be able to build the technology but might not be ready to translate the business needs to the ERP.Benefits of partnering with an ISV: A big reason organizations turn to ISVs is that they develop purpose-built solutions to address multiple different situations and multiple industries. "That's what I've found clients like about it, there might be a core functionality out of the box but it doesn't really handle every scenario," Grzegorek says. Working with ISVs provides expertise in various industries to consult with to address specific issues and needs.Considerations: Because ISVs work on these types of projects regularly, they are aware of more elements to take into consideration. For instance, Ashe describes how ISVs look at the landscape within Dynamics 365. It's important to consider how the solution will integrate with existing systems, how it will impact security, where data is being sourced from, and more.Selecting an ISV: When selecting an ISV, there are some qualities you should look for to ensure unexpected situations are taken care of. "The documentation they have, that speaks a lot to what they're able to contribute on an ongoing basis," Grzegorek says. Clients are looking for partnership, and working with an ISV is a partnership. You want to be confident that you can reach out to your ISV and get answers right away. "It's hard to see that before you actually start that partnership, so I go to that documentation of what the solution has, what it solves, and if that stuff is detailed...that is a huge indicator." Initial interactions with them are also a good sign of this.Multiple ISV solutions from a single vendor: It's always beneficial to have an ISV that can provide multiple solutions in different areas. One thing to look out for, Grzegorek highlights, is to make sure that the ISV has good alignment internally. Integration time is also a major focus, considering whether you have to integrate or if it's embedded in the system.AI agents and Microsoft Dynamics 365: While the solutions themselves are very powerful, AI agents can add a new level of efficiency. Ashe shares an example of how individuals are now running teams of agents to automate various functions. There are agents fulfilling individual functions within Dynamics 365 that customers are already using, so SignUp Software is like an extension of the platform and the workload. "We feel like we have a really strong value proposition to bring back to Microsoft to leverage the strength and the roadmap of the platform, but then also have immediately valuable solutions that they can take advantage of now," Ashe says.This episode is sponsored by SignUp Software.

This episode is sponsored by Delinea. Security and compliance concepts related to Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management are constantly evolving, and our guest, Delinea principal software development engineer Alex Meyer, continue to work to help the community make sense of their options. Alex, a Microsoft MVP, recently presented a new webcast to the MSDW audience on native controls in D365 applications, and he joins the podcast to provide more perspective on the gaps that still exist. Auditors have become more familiar with D365 F&O solutions, Alex explains, and that means they know where to look for verification of segretation of duties. We also discuss another hot topic right now, D365 licensing and the new policies Microsoft is trying to finalize related to technical enforcement for users. Alex shares his experiences and observations thus far, including the latest known delays to Microsoft's implementation of this plan.

This episode is sponsored by SignUp Software. For Dynamics 365 Business Central users, the decision between embedded and external accounts payable (AP) automation solutions can have a lasting impact on the organization. To understand the topic further, we spoke with Rob Ashe, Vice President of North America at SignUp Software, and David Huether, Chief Commercial Officer at NEXT 365 for North America, about their organizations' experiences partnering on Business Central projects and what they are learning from finance leaders implementing AP automation solutions. BC customers want to invest in AP automation that delivers both greater efficiency and better operating conditions like improved security, integration, and consistency for user experiences. The partnership between SignUp Software and Next365 is providing unique results in areas like process assessment and optimization, executive-level advisory scenarios, and implementation acceleration. For example, David shared a case study from the energy sector where Next365 helped a client replace an outdated industry-standard system with SignUp's ExFlow, achieving a lower total cost of ownership while improving functionality and reducing vendor lock-in. Our guests also discuss some of the key market drivers that will propel their partnership forward, specifically around the needs of CFOs building more complex and constrained organizations. They also offer BC users some ideas for the future around financial performance and how to start making measurable steps forward in modernizing AP.

MSDW was a media sponsor of this week's DynamicsCon 2025 event, live in Chicago. In our travels, we met up with some Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management experts to get their perspective on Microsoft announcements, customer feedback, and other plans.  In this episode, we hear from Microsoft MVP Alicia King (Keener) of RSM, James Cook, director with enVista, and Joe Christensen, founder of Aqueducts Consulting. All three work with Dynamics 365 F&O solutions, and we talked about new features, how customers are learning about Microsoft's AI offerings like pre-built agents and Azure AI Foundry, and some of the pressing needs for F&O customers related to licensing.

In this episode, Johan and Gustav welcome Johanna, Head of AI and Analytics at Itera in Bergen, for an insightful discussion on Microsoft Fabric and the evolving world of data platforms. Johanna shares her expertise on how Microsoft Fabric represents a significant shift in data architecture by unifying multiple tools (Power BI, Synapse, Azure Data Factory) into a single platform. The conversation explores how this integration is democratizing data access, allowing business users rather than just IT specialists to work with enterprise data. The trio discusses the technical evolution from traditional SQL databases to modern Delta Lakes environments, noting that while the engineering aspects have become simpler, proper data governance remains essential. Johanna introduces the concept of "Full Stack Fabric Developers" who can now work across the entire data pipeline thanks to the platform's accessibility. They also touch on practical considerations when working with Dynamics 365 data through Fabric Link, addressing common questions about data refresh rates and the realities of near-real-time analytics in business environments.

Send us a textThe line between ERP and CRM systems can be difficult to define, as ERP vendors often claim to offer CRM solutions, while CRM vendors argue that ERP systems are outdated. The fundamental difference lies in their data models and database structures, with ERP systems focusing on enterprise-wide resource management and CRM systems dedicated to customer relationship management. Microsoft takes a distinctive approach by connecting all of its apps through a common data model across various categories, blending the advantages of both best-of-breed and connected applications. Additionally, there is a subtle distinction between marketing automation systems and Customer Data Platforms (CDPs). While marketing automation tools can connect multiple channels, they lack the advanced capabilities of CDPs, such as integrating diverse data sources, matching datasets based on multiple criteria, and providing precise insights to users. With these factors in mind, how does Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM stack up against other CRM suites in the market?In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry experts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to conduct an independent review of MS Dynamics 365 CRM/CE's capabilities. We covered many grounds, including where MS Dynamics 365 CRM/CE might be a fit in the enterprise architecture and where it might be overused. Finally, they analyze many data points to help understand the core strengths and weaknesses of MS Dynamics 365 CRM/CE.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

HighlightsCurrent Challenges (00:48)Manny names capital allocation as a major challenge for the office of the CFO. They spend much time thinking about which technologies and industry solutions are best to invest in. They have to determine which investments take priority, such as investing in tech that benefits the company's back office versus their customers. Value creation is also a key consideration. “Our analysis on where do we invest those dollars has gotten a lot more granular and a lot more scrutiny around those decisions,” he says.“Many of the CFOs face the challenge of doing more with less when money has gotten a bit more expensive,” Hedin raises. Another challenge he notes is regulatory aspects. The three C's — cost, control, and compliance — need to be as efficient as possible. Determining how to leverage AI can be a challenge on the technology side.AI Impact (07:17)When building out large language models (LLMs) and algorithms, you have to ensure you have the right governance and controls internally on the data to get the desired outcome. This is vital when starting out leveraging new technologies to drive business decisions and efficiencies. While this can be daunting, “there's a lot of value to it,” Manny notes. Once it's tested and secure internally, the next phase of an AI journey is to look at it from a customer-facing perspective.Hedin shares customer examples of applying machine learning and AI. “In the financial process automation space, AI is definitely saving a lot of time already today for a lot of CFOs,” Hedin says.CFO AI Concerns and Second Half Mindset (11:30)Korakis says the biggest risk is that AI outputs don't necessarily align with the question an employee is seeking to answer. If a person thinks they're feeding the algorithm or LLM all the right data points but they're actually not, that's a big issue. His company is ensuring good data governance.Microsoft has made Copilot actionable for ISVs like Signup; since it's embedded in Finance and Operations as well as Business Central, there are actions that weren't available before, Hedin says. It's one thing to get intelligent responses, but when you can also start doing things such as generating a PO if one's missing, then you have an assistant that can do a lot more things for you. It's really exciting in terms of customer problems that can be solved.Korakis says in the first half of the year there's been a lot of disruption in the macro environment that followed supply chain challenges: rising interest rates that created caution and the need to be very thoughtful in using investment dollars has slowed things down a bit. “I see that starting to phase off” and CFOs are more willing to spend as the second half approaches.D365 Trends (15:09)Hedin says AI is one big, obvious trend with Dynamics 365. The other is new regulatory demands. If you send an invoice to a customer in Italy you need to go through their tax authorities now so they can track it. A US customer asked to start invoicing in Germany and needed guidance. It varies by country. That's a big challenge for the international companies as well – how to handle that in an efficient way.

When it comes to quoting, both Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics 365 CRM offer great capabilities – but which one should you use (or even both!), how should it all be integrated and what are the pros, cons and best practices to be taken into consideration. It can can feel a little confusing, especially when there's no “one-size-fits-all" quoting process that every business uses. The types of products and/services you're quoting for can also add additional complexities to navigate. In this episode of Tecman Talks Dynamics we're exploring the quoting functionality and integration between both Dynamics 365 CRM and Dynamics 365 Business Central, discussing the various aspects of quoting, such as pricing, look and feel, electronic signatures, tax, payment terms, and more.

This episode is sponsored by Leapwork.   Microsoft has recently adjusted the update schedule and policies for Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations apps, with the One Version strategy now driving the delivery for four service updates per year to customers, with limited pauses allowed. Given the regular cadence,  the short testing windows, and the need to accept multiple updates per year, customers must reckon with the realities of testing efficiencies.   As our guest, Sune Engsig, Field CTO at Leapwork, explains, manual testing against regressions for an application like D365 Finance or Supply Chain Management can take a heavy toll on an organization, adding time and cost while preventing an organization from investing in rolling out new improvements and new solutions.   Sune tells us about his experiences working with Leapwork clients, how both partners and customers engage with the company on deploying automated testing for Dynamics 365, and how Leapwork thinks about the ideal ways to share responsibilities between functional testers and technical resources.   Resources: Webcast recording: Navigating the Dynamics 365 One Version Policy: Automated Regression Testing for ERP Excellence Schedule time with a Leapwork test automation experts here
