Me @ Directions EMEA 2024

Also this year Directions EMEA conference is approaching and next week all the EMEA’s Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner’s community will be in Vienna for 3 exciting (and funny) days together.

The conference is fully packed of interesting sessions for different figures (developers, consultants, managers, marketing people and more). Create your agenda and start learning. One of the main goal of the conference is to just not providing new learning contents, but also providing real-world tips and new ideas to apply in your daily projects. I think this is the real treasure (together with networking)…

What about me?

You can find me around the conference venue in these 3 days. Feel free to stop me (happy to meet a lot of you in person).

I want also to invite everyone of you to the following session that I’m hosting with my “partner in crime” Duilio on November 8 (Hall N1+N2):

This is a session where we have worked on for the entire last year, monitoring and tuning-up all aspects of some of the biggest Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS customers.

“I have a customer with 350 users. Can I run it on SaaS?”.

“I have a customer that posts 1000 invoices with 1000 lines each every day. Can I run it on SaaS?”.

These are only some of the common questions that many partners are continuously raising when they need to approach what is called a “big customer”. Is the Business Central SaaS platform really able to run such big customers, despite the standard Microsoft’s benchmarks? Or the cloud platform is not a great choice for the giants?
We currently manage some of the “biggest Business Central SaaS customers” (numbers that you recently saw in some conference keynotes) and in this session we want to share our real-world experience of running and maintaining a big customer in the cloud.

What are the main problems we had running the giants in the cloud?
What best practices we adopted?
What were the technical aspects we worked on to maximize performance?
What technologies and techniques we used to handle massive integrations at best?
What are our recommendations and tips for successfully running a “giant” in the cloud?

If you’re currently working with a large Business Central customer (on-premises or SaaS) or if you plan to propose Business Central SaaS to a large customer, this is probably a session that you don’t need to miss. We want to share what we have done in the last year and what you should do in your projects too…

This is a session where “dimensions counts” and I’m sure you will go home with something to review in your Dynamics 365 Business Central projects.

My second personal invitation is for the Italian partners. We have a Microsoft Regional Session for Italy scheduled on November 6 at 17.15 (Room 2.15). Main focus will be on migrating on-premises customers to the cloud, but it’s a moment where you can ask everything (in your natural language too ). Please join to discover the incentives, the news, the tips & tricks and for a general Q&A moment all together.

I hope to meet with everyone of you during the conference (and obviously, at the party too ). See you in Vienna in few days…
