20250526 - Sustainability functionality in Business Central What's there and why Sustainability is an important component of corporate strategy across multiple industries. This session explores the sustainability functionality within Business Central, and is intended mainly for Business Central functional consultants. You do not need to be familiar with sustainability terms, concepts, or regulations. We will start by exploring the “why” behind sustainability, focusing on the growing regulatory requirements and the importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting. We will then cover the “what” - the current sustainability features available in Business Central, including Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions tracking, the Chart of Sustainability Accounts, and how you could approach sustainability reporting. Finally, we will look ahead to upcoming Business Central features, and to trends that will impact sustainability management in Business Central. This session aims to give you the knowledge to help your customers to get the most out of Business Central sustainability functionality.

20250127 - Grabbing BC artifacts in your pipelines via an Azure Function and how all of this works If you have worked with BC containers, you probably know that Microsoft provides the required artifacts through PowerShell cmdlets. But there is a more elegant way: Through the BC artifact URL proxy, a simple HTTP request is enough and to make it even easier for your pipeline runs, there is now also an Azure DevOps extension utilizing the proxy. In this session, the creators Arthur and Tobias will show you how all of that works, how you can incorporate it in your pipeline and how development (with a devcontainer / Github Codespace) and operations (with a containerized Azure Function) are set up.
