Microsoft presents: What is new in analytics for Business Central
Join this session for the grand overview of key updates to analytics in Business Central 2025 release wave 1, including Power BI apps, data analysis queries, and reports with Excel/Word layouts. We will cover this and how it works across all major functional areas: finance, sales, purchasing, manufacturing, projects, and more. The session is relevant if you work pre-sales, as this demos well with prospective and existing customers, or working as functional consultants (to show your customers what is possible), architects (to include analytics in upgrade plans and tenders), and maybe also developers (to learn where to get inspired for your code).
