In the Microsoft customer ecosystem, companies with complex financial structures often struggle to give their finance professionals the tools they need to create, deploy, and use effective reporting.
Requirements like multiple locations, companies, currencies, or ledgers can quickkly put extra burdens on both finance and IT teams that impact organizational performance and increase risk , says our guest, Jeremy Schaab, VP of software development at FYIsoft.
Schaab tells us about some of the common requirements the FYIsoft team hears from Microsoft users today and what the Microsoft product roadmaps will mean for both customers and ISVs. And he explains how his team has solved key technology challenges in order to offer elegant solutions for customers of different sizes and with different levels of complexity.
And we also discuss FYIsoft's product roadmap, which has important details that align with Dynamics 365 ERP applications, both functionally and technically.

Learning new technology skills requires full concentration, but the task is even more challenging when it is being carried out in a learner's non-native language. Often in the business world, that training language is going to be English, and Microsoft MVP George Doubinski has seen firsthand the struggles that learners can face. George has had recent experiences training non-native speakers in an English language classroom. He explains why this is a common scenario and offers a range of suggested tools and techniques to help overcome typical headaches. We discuss vocabulary, pronunciation socio-political angles, and ways to gain comfort communicating in a business setting.

MSDW is previewing Community Summit North America 2024 with a new series of quick podcast episodes featuring exhibitors. In this episode, we speak with Joe Christensen, founder of Aqueducts Consulting.
The team at Aqueducts thinks a lot about how to help Dynamics 365 F&O and AX customers find success in their reporting and data management efforts, Joe tells us. He has seen plenty of pain and frustration among customers over the years, and there are many good reasons why, from the technology to project planning to user adoption and organizational change. Reporting challenges often come down to a solution's reliability, Joe explains. When there's no reliability, a company’s reporting system often reverts to becoming little more than key people and tools, rather than something designed to deliver reports to everyone.
We also discuss the evolution of the Dynamics 365 F&O data strategy, first with the introduction of Export to Data Lake and now Synapse Link. The Aqueducts Consulting booth at Summit will give attendees as unique "data factory" experience, and Joe explains what that will look like, blending concepts, technology, and operational process.
