Many businesses using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central struggle to quickly extract meaningful insights due to its rigid, limited reporting. They spend countless hours manually building reports or rely on costly, specialised technical resources. Without clear, actionable data, leaders miss opportunities, make costly mistakes, and lack visibility into critical areas like cash flow, sales performance, churn, and inventory. These inefficiencies directly impact growth, profitability, and long-term success.

In this 45-minute session, Michael Davies, Director for GTM at Aries Global Software Group & Business Central Insights (BCI), and Jack Munns, Principal at Aries Group, will show you how to break free from these constraints. You'll learn how top-performing companies use ready-made Power BI reporting to analyse financial health, uncover hidden growth opportunities and drive real business results.

Jack brings a unique investor perspective, helping business leaders understand how financial analysts and investors assess business performance; and how you can apply the same principles to make smarter, faster decisions that lead to business success.

This isn’t just about spreadsheets and charts; it’s about showing business professionals how to get the right data, at the right time, to make the right decisions.
