Modern Business Central Application Management for Consultants
Business Central is a cloud-first platform, and that changes everything about how consultants and support engineers work with it. The architecture, the extension model, the way environments are managed, the way users and permissions are set up, and the way performance issues are diagnosed all behave differently in the cloud than they did in NAV on-premises.
In this focused one-day course, MCT and MVP Steven Renders gives you a thorough, practical grounding in everything a Business Central consultant needs to know to work confidently in the modern BC cloud environment.
The course covers the full picture: from understanding the transition from NAV to BC and how extensions work, to setting up demo and sandbox environments, managing users, permissions and delegated admins, applying consultant best practices, working with reporting and BI tools, troubleshooting performance issues and understanding the technical building blocks of the platform, including APIs, web services, tenants and extensions.
