Optimizing Business Central Performance - A Consultants Guide
Performance issues in Business Central rarely announce themselves in advance. They build quietly, through configuration choices, database growth, user load patterns and infrastructure decisions made early in a project, until one day a client calls to say the system is slow.
In this expert session, Microsoft MVP and MCT Berny Düring gives consultants the knowledge to get ahead of that call rather than respond to it.
Berny covers the full performance landscape, from system and application settings through hardware and infrastructure considerations, database management, user load optimization and advanced troubleshooting.
Real-world examples and practical best practices run throughout, giving you the kind of rounded, field-tested insight that turns performance optimization from a reactive scramble into a proactive discipline.
The best time to fix a performance problem is before your client notices it exists.
