  • Added value: “I don’t think people realize even the dollar value that Microsoft added to every Business Central license that’s out there, and they didn’t stop,” she notes. Microsoft has been enhancing various elements, adding new features, and exploring how AI fits. The company added new Power BI reports that are automatic. Agents will help users be more efficient and accomplish more tasks.
  • Innovations and outcomes: Agents can help minimize mistakes to improve data entry, allowing users to focus on checking things and higher-level tasks. Kim has been receiving a lot of feedback about how much more users have been getting out of Power BI. “We can take the Power BI reports that they gave us, and we can now adjust them or modify them; I don’t have to have a big Power BI project.”
  • Summit sessions: Continuing her involvement in the Microsoft community, Kim will be speaking again at Community Summit North America. She also served on the programming committee for BC/NAV. She will be leading various sessions and Academy classes:
  • Connecting with the community: Community Summit is a great place to connect with others in the community. You’ll have opportunities to network and make contacts with others who might be in different industries or have expertise in areas that you want to learn about. It’s a great place to get involved, learn about new tools, and gain new skills. “We want different people on the programming committee, different people on the BC board, and it brings new life every time,” Kim shares. “We’re always looking for volunteers and new people who want to learn.”
