On this episode we are discussing security and compliance in Dynamics 365 F&O and what advances in these areas could mean for the future of the product.
Since we last talked to our guest, Bartosz Szpiech, VP of Product at XPLUS, Microsoft has advanced its support for user security governance, or USG, which means users must adapt to evolving license enforcement policies.
Bartosz discusses how understanding licensing policy relates to the broader concept of observability in D365. As roles evolve to conform to security and license requirements, customers have the opportunity to begin achieving better insights, he explains. We explore how new tools that offer better insights into activity within F&O could accelerate the identification of high-value AI scenarios that will evolve ERP. He also provides an update on the latest Executive Automats security training for F&O customers.

Dynamics ERP customers take different approaches to evaluating investments in invoice automation technology, but the decision ultimately comes down to a few key decisions around cost, fraud, and productivity.
Our guests on this episode, John Parisi of Yooz and Mark Munson of Ace Micro, have helped organizations of all sorts improve their financial management with Dynamics and AP automation, and in this conversation they reflect on some of the challenges of manual processes and how to overcome them, from data entry to approvals to security.
John and Mark share their unique perspectives on the AP-related conversations they are having with GP and Business Central customers today related to fraud and error prevention, evaluating the cost of investing in AP automation, and planning to make it a reality.

MSDW was a media partner of Directions EMEA 2025, and in addition to covering news and announcements at the event, we also caught up with a few attendees to learn more about their experiences and impressions.
In addition to major announcements like reaching 50,000 customers of Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft pushed hard on their AI vision for the ERP solution. For the Microsoft partner audience, that focus is sending strong signals about not just about how they should advise customers but also how they will prioritize their own business initiatives.
On this podcast episode, we present interviews done on-site at the Poznan Congress Center during Directions EMEA with Marie Wiese, Andrew Good, and Rick McCutcheon. Our guests shared perspective on how Microsoft's vision will impact customers, the push for greater diversity in the channel workforce, and the priorities of partner marketers in a changing landscape.
