50 Tips in 50 Minutes for Business Central

How exciting! This week is the annual user group Summit and for the first time in a long time, we are presenting in person instead of virtually. Every year, I present 50 tips in 50 minutes and provide a paper handout for attendees to reference during the session (how 2020!). This year we are getting with the program and providing a QR code to this page. So if you are in my session today, Hello! you are in the right place.

If not, check out our YouTube channel where you can find many of these already in 1-3 minute video format. More videos are being added all the time, so check back for the new stuff, or better yet, subscribe to get updated on all our new content.
