Directions North America 2019 preview with Aleksandar Totovic

On this episode we talk with Microsoft's Aleksandar Totovic about what he willl be presenting at  Directions North America 2019 next week in Las Vegas. Aleksandar described these sessions on his blog recently, and he explains here some of the factors that went into his decision to take on topics that are forward thinking and probably a little outside of the conventional NAV and Business Central partner's plans. The common theme of the sessions – figuring out how to incorporate other fast-moving Microsoft business applications with Business Central – underscores one of the big opportunities and challenges that partners face: deciding where to invest precious time and resources in the Microsoft channel. Show Notes: 1:20 – A little more about Aleksandar 2:30 – A brief Directions Asia recap 4:40 – Why look at using D365 for Talent with Business Central? 8:00 – Why partners should be encouraged to promote and propose holistic Microsoft solutions, not just Business Central. 9:30 – Why the CDM/CDS is relevant to Talent workloads, other HR solutions, and the future of Business Central. 11:50 – Scenarios in which a combined Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement and Business Central customer could benefit from doing traditional ERP tasks in a model-driven PowerApp. 17:15 – Sessions that Aleksandar is looking forward to at the event.
