Podcast: Navigating my Journey from GP to Business Central


 Honored to join with the amazing hosts and Microsoft MVPs Brad Prendergast and Kristoffer Ruyeras on the Dynamics Corner Podcast. I had a privilege to share about myself as a missionary, church volunteer, counselor, Dynamics community volunteer, and of course my journey from Dynamics GP to Business Central. I was able to share many valuable insights on migrating from Dynamics GP to BC. You will also hear what I'm currently working on to be released by September this year!

See you at DYNAMICSCONLIVE! I'm thrilled to announce that on May 16th at 9:15 am, I'll be taking the stage as a speaker to dive into the real-world scenario of GP to BC Migration. If you haven't registered yet here's the link: https://lnkd.in/ghVb5PJB Use my code: CD2024 to get 15% OFF.
