Connecting BC and Power Platform: A Developers Perspective
Power Platform has proven itself across countless domains. So why has the Business Central community been so slow to embrace it? The hesitation is real, and in many cases the concerns behind it are legitimate. But some of them are also outdated, and holding on to the wrong ones means missing a genuine opportunity.
In this expert session, Microsoft MVP Tine Staric takes an honest, structured look at Power Platform adoption from the perspective of BC developers and consultants, without the sales pitch.
Tine examines the real arguments on both sides, covering practical concerns around cost, required skills, DevOps practices, source control and maintainability.
He separates the valid concerns from the ones that no longer hold up, and then shifts focus to the opportunity: what Power Platform can genuinely offer BC partners, why the message has not landed well in the BC community until now, and what to expect when you start integrating it into your development practice.
This is not a session about why you should use Power Platform. It is a session about whether you should, and what happens when you do.
