March 14, 2025 Liese-Marie Heyns and Gary Cook - Performance Testing at Scale
In this episode, Gustav and Johan speak with Liese-Marie Heyns and Gary Cook from NTT about handling high-volume data processing in Microsoft Dynamics. They discuss a case where a customer processes 140,000 sales order lines in just two hours, flowing from Dynamics 365 for Sales to Dynamics 365 for Finance and Supply Chain via DualWrite. Managing this scale of data transfer requires significant system optimization and a deep understanding of potential bottlenecks. The discussion explores how advanced monitoring and automation techniques are essential for handling such intensive workloads.

August 16, 2024 Global Rollouts
When rolling out a large, complex ERP solution we often try to reduce the complexity of the rollout. Splitting the project into smaller pieces or waves is one of the ways we achieve shorter delivery cycles and faster ROI for the customer.

However, there are a lot of moving parts that we need to take into account to make the transition smooth and to get the entire organization onboard.

In this episode we talk to Eric Westerlund and discuss how we best "slice the elephant"
