This is the second part of a two-part blog series on “What to Expect When Moving Your Solution to Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS and AppSource”. In Part 1 of the blog series the technical differences were covered. In this blog, I will cover the costs and operational differences of maintaining customer and ISV Business Central SaaS solutions vs. Business Central On-Premises solutions.
Dynamics 365 Business Central continuously evolves and with each major release comes the long-awaited features. Customizing Business Central through Extensions, eliminates the need to modify the Dynamics 365 Business Central standard code to implement additional functionality and enables the transition to cloud-ready solution. However, the rapid Business Central evolution also brings side effects that Dynamics Partners should be aware of and plan for accordingly. Taking this into account, I’ve created this blog to provide details on the impact of common changes from a technical perspective.
Azure Active Directory (AAD) is useful when you want to control who (users and client applications) can access particular resources (e.g. Microsoft Azure SaaS resources, Office 365 documents and Dynamics 365 installations). One of Azure Active Directory’s (AAD) use cases is 3rd party client application authenticating through AAD to call the API of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central installation (BC). This article covers how to implement such a client application using the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) and the C# language.
1ClickFactory provides a number of services to help Microsoft Dynamics Partners to get Microsoft Dynamics NAV software solutions through the Certified for Microsoft Dynamics (CfMD) process. Since CfMD is not designed for the new Dynamics 365 Business Central technology stack, we get frequent queries from Microsoft Partners. In this blog post, we are summarizing answers to the most frequently asked questions. Please note that the answers are based on 1ClickFactory information only and may change depending on Microsoft processes.
One of 1ClickFactory’s top priorities is to always ensure that the Self-Provisioning service is secure by design and that all the processes supporting the service adhere to strong information security controls. However, it wasn’t always easy to explain to different Dynamics Partners and clients how information security is ensured due to different understanding of available technologies and processes. 1ClickFactory decided to get an internationally recognizable information security management certification to help provide more assurance to Dynamics Partners and customers.
Every day at work we generate data. The longer the company’s history, the more data it accumulates. Many organizations want to take advantage of the data on Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS to get better visibility into business processes, actionable insights and pipeline intelligence. However, there are data size limitations when migrating solutions to Dynamics 365 Business Central SaaS. It is not a problem for small companies with relatively small database size, but for larger organizations with complex business processes, it can become a serious challenge. Read this blog post to learn how to overcome this challenge.
We’ve seen lots of businesses adapting to 2020 challenges by going online, either by migrating physical marketplaces to e-commerce solutions or by making their data accessible and more reachable through web solutions. Therefore, it’s a good time for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) (e.g. Microsoft Dynamics NAV/ Dynamics 365 Business Central) system owners to consider whether they want to be more integrated and visible on the web. Is it time to take your Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP online?
This is the second part of the blog post “Organizing Code for a Seamless Transition from C/AL to Extensions in AL", where we walk you through some of the steps you can take to organize the code in the existing C/AL coding language before the transition.
Since Business Central 2019 release wave 2 (version 15), the application has become completely AL-based. All functionality that modifies standard business logic must be moved into an Extension. This change influences how upgrades are performed and impacts all the solutions that are still in C/AL, making Dynamics partners consider transitioning to Extensions in AL. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through some of the steps you can take to organize the code in the existing C/AL coding language before the transition. Following these practical advices will facilitate the transition from C/AL to AL, making it as seamless as possible.
With the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2019 wave 2 release, Microsoft made available a new data type – Enumeration (Enum). Enum is a list that consists of a set of named constants. It can be used as table fields, local and global variables, and parameters. In this blog post, you will learn how to write code with Enum, create and implement the interface in Business Central and how it will empower extendable Enums.
