Tecman Talks Dynamics - The Microsoft Edition with Kennie Pontoppidan

In our latest installment of Tecman Talks Dynamics, we are thrilled to be joined by Kennie, a Principal Program Manager from Microsoft. Kennie answers some of our burning questions about the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central roadmap, security, agents, reporting, and more. 

We start with Power BI, the autumn release brought significant improvements to Power BI, including new dashboards for manufacturing reporting and Excel reports. The enhancements were driven by discussions with Program Managers who identified the needs of leadership, managers, and users. Role-based reporting has been a key focus, with leadership concentrating on KPIs and financial reporting within Power BI, managers using quick-to-read data analysis through Excel, and users benefiting from detailed, personal-level reporting for weekly tasks and operational focus. 

We also discuss the importance of security, and the enhancements Microsoft are implementing in the form of a major Secure Future Initiative (SFI), aiming to make Business Central one of the most secure systems in the world. More details about SFI can be found here. 

Listen now to hear all we have to say about the current roadmap, the growth of Excel Layouts, further discussion on reporting and analysis and the exciting introduction of Microsoft agents.

We’d like to say a huge thank you Kennie for joining our latest Tecman Talks Dynamics Podcasts, we all really enjoyed speaking with you and can’t wait to have you join us again soon!
