Data over here. Data over there. These days there are massive piles of data everywhere. Companies use many different systems. Those systems need to interact and share data to be useful. But how to get that data from place to place? Most of the time, what's built in to these various systems doesn't make it easy to move that data between them. Enter ETL. ETL stands for "extract, transform, load". ETL systems make it easier to move and manipulate large amounts of data between various systems. Using examples from Azure Data Factory, we'll gain an understanding of how ETL systems can make these complex interactions easier.

Automated Tests have been around for quite a while now. There are books, blogs, and video deep-dives on how to implement them. They’ve been talked about every year and at every conference, and yet the adoption is still not where it should be. This session is not about why you need tests. I’ll assume you already know that. This session is for everyone who’s already passionate about tests, and yet you’re still not doing them. Well, I’m willing to fight for tests! And so should you. In this session, we’ll look at automated tests from four perspectives; developers, consultants, product owners, and management. I’ll try to give you arguments for your inevitable fight with other roles, and why the tests are good for you while preparing you for common pushbacks. Hopefully, by the end, you’ll be fully equipped to win the fight and start bringing the benefits of test automation to your own organizations.

Use Design Principles To Guide Your Discovery

Total Votes: 0

Depending on the survey, up to 2 in 3 CRM implementation projects fail to meet their goals. One of the key reasons for this is a poorly conducted Discovery /User Story Refinement. For less experienced consultants, or overzealous clients, the temptation to deliver more for the same price can be too much. This can lead to scope blowout, cost and time overruns and a poor experience for all involved. Setting Design Principles and getting agreement on them early can help mitigate this risk. In this session Leon will review what design principles are, how they can be used to encourage the best outcomes for the project and the key set of Design Principles he recommends using on Dynamics 365 and Power Platform projects.

The Demand-Supply Loop: Enhancing SCM with Continuous Planning

Total Votes: 0

Erol Celebic and Beatriz Nebot Gracia

In today's fast-paced business environment, effective demand and supply planning are crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. By leveraging advanced forecasting and planning tools, companies can optimize their supply chains and drive business growth. In Supply Chain Management, demand planning is the cornerstone of success. By analyzing historical sales data and market trends, we create a demand forecast that predicts future customer needs. This forecast is then imported into the SCM system, setting the stage for supply planning. Supply planning involves scheduling production, managing inventory, and coordinating logistics to ensure that the right products are available at the right time. As products are sold, sales data is fed back into the demand planning system. This continuous feedback loop refines future forecasts, making them more accurate and reliable. The result is a more responsive and efficient supply chain that drives business growth and customer satisfaction.

How to be a Prompt Engineer

Total Votes: 0
Technical Intermediate

Do you want to know what my first experience with generative AI was? Wildly inconsistent results. Half the time, the response wasn’t in JSON so I could parse it, and when it did work, it was slow. The problem? My prompts were bad. So, I started figuring out how to make them better. What structure works best? How to determine the best temperature level? Which model should I use? Will my prompts perform well with 100 users? What if I have too much data? The more I figured out how to use generative AI, the more I realized I was becoming a “prompt engineer”. You know, the thing that’s supposed to replace all developers in the future. I’m not sure about that. But in the AI era, we need to know how to work with it. If you’d like to skip all the trial-and-error steps, join this session to learn how to take your prompts from a simple request that returns wildly inconsistent results to a complex prompt that makes your new AI features more stable and reliable.

Exposing SQL Databases to Business Central in minutes with Microsoft Data API Builder

Business Central

In a traditional Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS project, there’s often the need to interact with external SQL databases (Azure SQL or on-premises SQL instances) and for this task often a lot of work is needed in order to create an integration layer. Although you could use tools such as Azure Functions or App Service to build your own data API layer, this adds inefficiencies and increases your maintenance and testing requirements. Data API builder is a new tool that transforms your SQL Database into a REST API that you can use for your modern application in minutes without writing too much code. In this session we’ll see how you can use Data API Builder to expose external databases to Dynamics 365 Business Central in minutes (full database or parts of it) from any platform and how you can interact with the external database from AL code, all in a full REST-compliant and SaaS-compatible way.

Demand Driven MRP, When and Why

Total Votes: 0
Functional Intermediate
Finance ∓ Supply Chain

For years, companies have used material requirements planning (MRP) as a system for calculating the materials and components that are required to manufacture a product. However, supply chains have now changed. Parts have longer lead times because they are increasingly sourced from overseas. Therefore, many companies have reported experiencing stockouts or overstocks, because they don't know how much inventory to stock. There is also more market fluctuation (sometimes inaccurately forecast), and customers are demanding products at a short lead time. Therefore, there are supply chain shortages all over the world. In addition, MRP tools often give planners thousands of actions to do. Therefore, it's hard to know what to focus on. Often, the solution to many of these issues is to switch to Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP).

You know AI prompts, but do you know about the "AI prompts" capability in the Power Platform? For an organisation to get the most from generative AI, every user shouldn't have to work out good prompts for themselves - there's huge value in a library of curated, sharable, flexible prompts. Some may be generic, some may be company-specific, and once published AI prompts can be used in Power Apps, Power Automate, and perhaps most excitingly, Copilot for Microsoft 365 plugins.

When setting up DualWrite and integrating D365FO and D365CE it is important to understand the "other" system. From a CE perspective there are a lot of things changing when you set up the integration. Two separate products with a fundamentally/fairly different data model are getting merged into one suite. Understanding the limits and differences between the two products is fundamental for success. The session will look at what to expect when implementing dualwrite; the process, the challenges and what you need to understand in order to get a smooth setup. We will also look at some of the troubleshooting and some workarounds.

Technical Topics: Dataverse, Implementation, Integration
