As we gear up for the Community Summit, we’re excited to share our predictions for the trends that will dominate this year’s event. Our insights are based on current market trends and our extensive experience in the industry. We believe these trends will not only shape the discussions at the Summit but also drive significant advancements in the ERP and CRM space.Â
1. Copilot: The Future of AI in Business
AI continues to revolutionize business operations, with Microsoft’s Copilot leading this transformation by integrating AI capabilities across the Microsoft stack including Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 Business Central, Dynamics 365 Sales, and Azure Cloud. Copilot helps businesses automate processes, gain deeper insights, and drive innovation. Â
The increasing adoption of AI tools in various industries underscores AI’s growing importance in business operations. Our clients have already experienced significant improvements in efficiency and decision-making with Copilot, making it a hot topic at the Summit. We’ve been actively implementing Copilot for our clients, helping them unlock new opportunities and achieve tangible business outcomes. Â
“AI is every where and Copilot is part of all the basic applications that Microsoft is offering. It’s the minimum introduction of true AI for everyone. It can be used in their day to day without even having to think about it or leave their applications. It’s the easiest and first exposure to AI in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning. In today’s business environment, businesses are continuously striving to introduce new ideas and maintain their competitiveness. The rise of AI tools, such as Copilot give them a competitive edge  by providing these companies a unique advantage such as enhancing their operational efficiency and decision-making process.

2. GP/NAV to Business Central Migration
As more businesses look to modernize their ERP systems, the migration from GP and NAV to Business Central is gaining momentum. Business Central offers a unified, AI and cloud-based solution that enhances scalability, flexibility, and integration. The trend towards cloud-based ERP solutions is evident in the increasing number of businesses transitioning to Business Central. This migration not only simplifies operations but also provides access to the latest features and updates. Forbes Advisor even named Dynamics 365 Business Central as the #1 ERP solution for SMBs. We specialize in guiding businesses through the migration process, ensuring a smooth transition and maximizing the benefits of Business Central. Â
“Business Central is a compelling option for many of you who want to keep pace with the direction of business, exploit the many features, and reap the benefits of a cloud-based offering. [For those waiting to move], You can either move on your own time, where you’re planning your timeline, or you can wait and be forced to do it when Microsoft makes you.”
– Jennifer Harris | CEO & President of TMCÂ
3. Microsoft Stack Unification
The seamless integration of Microsoft’s technology stack, including Azure, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Microsoft 365, is a game-changer for businesses. This unification simplifies digital transformation, enhances productivity, and fosters innovation. Â
The demand for integrated solutions that provide a cohesive ecosystem is on the rise, as businesses increasingly recognize the value of a unified technology stack in streamlining operations and driving growth. Recent economic changes, such as the deceleration of economic growth and the need for cost-effective solutions amid higher interest rates12, are urging businesses to unify their systems to maintain efficiency and competitiveness. We’ve been at the forefront of helping businesses leverage the full potential of the Microsoft stack. Â
Our expertise in integrating these technologies ensures that our clients can achieve their digital transformation goals.Â
“Historically, enterprise-level systems were standalone and required significant investments for integration. However, the landscape has transformed with the advent of Microsoft’s Dataverse, Power Platform, and low-code/no-code solutions. These tools seamlessly integrate and communicate with each other, making advanced capabilities accessible to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) at an affordable price.” Â
