FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNEW ABOUT REPORTING | Power Platform
Tuesday, March 15th, 11 - 11:30 am
Speaker: Keith Sayer
If you're like many business leaders, you may be drowning in reports. Spreadsheets come at a speed that makes it impossible to make sense of it all. But what if reporting was more than just something your team had to "get done" and instead helped them "get things done"? Learn how changing the way you understand and interact with "reports" will prepare you for success with Power BI. In this session, I'll go through strategies your business can use to adapt to this new paradigm and utilize the data at your fingertips in more impactful ways.
WAREHOUSING FUNCTIONALITY USING GREAT PLAINS VERSUS BUSINESS CENTRAL | GP
Tuesday, March 15th, 11 - 11:30 am
Speaker: Andrei Bruzgulis
Have you wished at some point or another that your existing ERP system could behave like a real warehouse management system (WMS) or provide the functionality that allows you to set up and grow your warehouse as your business requirements change? If so, join us in this session, where we will review side by side what Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central delivers out of the box compared to the functionality available in MS Dynamics Great Plains.
In this presentation, we will also be covering key building elements that are part of every WMS system:
- Bins, types/priorities, contents/capacities
- Warehouse zones/classes
- Managing different units of measure in the true warehouse environment
- Warehouse documents and more.
Join us and learn from the experts which is the best ERP system for your warehousing and business needs!
UNLOCK THE POWER OF POWER AUTOMATE IN D365 BUSINESS CENTRAL | Power Platform
Wednesday, March 16th, 1:30 - 2 pm
Speaker: Keith Sayer
In this short, practical session, I will cover how to overcome one of the biggest challenges to using Power Automate with Dynamics 365 Business Central: the need for a systemId to cross-reference any record in the system. Most records in the system key off of other fields like the "No." field, so it can be challenging to introduce useful automation because you can't access the right records. I'll demonstrate how to build an HTTP Get request in Power Automate and, then, what to do with the data that comes back so you can get the systemId you need to keep your automation idea moving forward!
CREATE A DYNAMIC POP-OUT PANEL IN POWER BI | Power Platform
Wednesday, March 16th, 2 - 2:30 pm
Speaker: Savannah Dill
Save more page real estate! Build a dynamic pop-out panel by utilizing buttons, bookmarks, and shapes in Power BI. When creating a complex report, you often have more data to present than the space that is available. In this session, I will show you how to create a dynamic pop-out panel that can save valuable page real estate by hiding slicers, extra visuals, or images.
HOW TO NOT FAIL AN ISV IMPLEMENTATION… MAYBE | BC NAV
Wednesday, March 16th, 2:30 - 3 pm
Speaker: Andrea Riviezzo
We’ve all been there. We think we found the perfect ISV solution, and then the whole implementation blew up in our face.
Don’t get me wrong, most ISV implementations go smoothly, but even those require a good amount of prep work before buying. While we can’t cover every ISV and its various oddities, we can at least have a high-level talk about some things you should consider before buying an ISV solution.
Sit back and let me tell you tales of ISV implementations gone wrong, so hopefully, you can avoid some of the mistakes I have witnessed.
TOOLS FOR THE ERP ADMIN IN BUSINESS CENTRAL SAAS | BC NAV
Thursday, March 17th, 11:30 am - 12 pm
Speaker: Gino Pack
This concise session is packed with useful information, tips, tricks, and know-how for ERP Administrators, both new and experienced!
DO YOU NEED A FULL-ON PO INTERVENTION? | BC NAV
Thursday, March 17th, 1 - 1:30 pm
Speakers: Krystle Conrad and Andrea Riviezzo
Does your purchase order relationship have some red-flags? Real talk time - I bet you and your POs could use some therapy, Krystle and Andrea are here for you. We'll take you through best practices, month-end close, reports, job queues, and as much as we can squeeze in along with stories from the road. Don't let your PO process be in love with someone else, come join us!
Meet our Presenters:
Keith Sayer Power Platform Team Lead
Keith discovered the Power Platform after spending many years working with CRM and Marketing Automation platforms and wondering, "Could we use this same type of logic across a company's tech stack?" Luckily, Microsoft was asking itself that same question! The Power Platform was the answer, and Keith's background allowed him to slot into it readily--first in Power BI, then Power Automate, and then the rest of the suite.
Today, Keith leads Innovia Consulting's Power Platform team in bringing clients fast-to-deploy Power Apps, insight-producing dashboards in Power BI, and automation across platforms to save them time and headaches in Power Automate. He has also led Innovia's efforts to adopt these technologies internally, allowing the entire team to see what's possible for customers. A lifelong student and teacher, he frequently writes about and teaches on Power Platform topics, marketing, and more.
Keith holds a B.A. in English from Anderson University and an M.T.S. from Vanderbilt University. He has worked in the higher education, nonprofit, and transportation fields in environments as diverse as a technology startup and a university hospital. Before joining the Power Platform world, he built experience in a broad range of functional roles, including marketing, customer service, operations, and safety/compliance. Most recently, he served as a content and CRM-focused marketing specialist right here at Innovia, lending him a unique understanding of the market positioning of his team's efforts.
