1. Greg Kaupp’s AI Over 40 series

AI has become a buzzword in 2025, yet most people don’t fully understand what it is or how to use it effectively. Treating tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot as expert colleagues—rather than relying on them as search engines—can transform your workflow. ArcherPoint CEO Greg Kaupp has compiled a series of blogs, AI Over 40, that explain the uses of AI for the rest of us who are not developers. Check out our AI & Copilot posts to catch up.

2. Managing user permissions in Business Central

Security is top of mind these days, and one of the most critical areas of concern for Business Central security is user permissions management. Granting users excessive access in Business Central can lead to errors and fraud, while denying them sufficient access will prevent them from performing their duties effectively. Read Barbara Gillett’s blog series, starting with Managing Permissions and Security Groups in Dynamics 365 Business Central to learn how to use permission sets and security groups in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to secure company data.

3. Managing tariffs in Business Central

The topic of tariffs has become increasingly important this year. Business Central has several features to help businesses track, apply, and manage tariffs efficiently within their supply chain and financial operations. If you’re new to tariffs, Michael Opatrny’s Managing Tariffs and Duty Drawbacks in Business Central provides an overview and guidance on handling them in Dynamics 365 Business Central.

4. KPIs for eCommerce

eCommerce success depends on the ability to track the right metrics. In Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for eCommerce Success, we cover the essential KPIs that enable strategic decisions and improve financial performance. In the follow-up blog, eCommerce Strategies to Improve KPI Performance, we offer strategies to improve KPI performance.

5. Access to source code doesn’t just concern developers; it concerns the whole company

Customizations in Business Central are part of your competitive advantage. Customizations begin as source code, which is the original instructions written by humans using text and symbols. Then they are compiled into executable instructions that the computer can run directly. Compiled code is extremely complicated to decompose and edit if a problem arises. Having access to the source code is vital. Matt Traxinger presents the business case for managing your source code in his blog, Source Control Isn’t Just a Tech Problem – It’s a Business One.

6. Integrating Microsoft Fabric with Business Central

Microsoft Fabric is a powerful data analytics solution that unifies and simplifies enterprise data management. For Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central users, integrating with Fabric can help drive better financial insights, optimize workflows, and improve decision-making. Learn how Fabric can help Business Central users harness big data and advanced analytics without the complexities of managing multiple tools and platforms in Understanding the Benefits of Business Central Integration with Microsoft Fabric.

7. Leveraging Business Central dimensions

Dimensions are one of the most powerful features in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Dimensions enable you to tag financial transactions with multiple categories, allowing you to view your data through various lenses instantly. Dimensions allow you to analyze costs by product line or region or track performance by store, region, or product.

8. Still on Dynamics NAV? Consider moving to Business Central

However, Dynamics NAV was built for a different era, and its limitations are becoming increasingly apparent. If your company is still running Microsoft Dynamics NAV, here are 10 reasons to switch from NAV to Business Central.

9. Know about new features in Business Central before they are released

Feature Management lists new functionality that will be included in upcoming Business Central releases, allowing you to enable and test it before it is released to the public. Sally Hanham discusses how to enable and use Feature Management in What is Feature Management in Business Central and How Is It Used?

10. Use Power Approvals for Business Central instead of standard business workflows

Approval workflows enable you to enforce quality, compliance, and budgeting within your organization. However, the standard approval workflow in Business Central has its limitations: it is expensive to customize, has limited capabilities, and has a complex architecture. Read The Limitations of Standard Business Workflows to learn how ArcherPoint’s Power Approvals app for Business Central SaaS delivers the flexibility you need without the cost of customizing Microsoft’s base approvals engine.
