The final session of Day 1 at the Partner Executive Summit didn't end with a keynote—it ended with one of the most valuable conversations of the entire summit. The SI & ISV Partner Roundtable brought together some of the Microsoft ecosystem's most respected executives for an honest discussion about what AI is really doing to partner business models. No presentations. No prepared scripts. Just candid perspectives from leaders who are navigating Microsoft's AI-first FY27 strategy every day. The conversation focused on: ➡️ How AI is reshaping traditional SI and ISV business models ➡️ Where partners are uncovering new revenue and margin opportunities with agentic solutions ➡️ What separates the partners scaling successfully from those still trying to find their footing ➡️ The real-world decisions leaders are making today to prepare for tomorrow A huge thank you to the outstanding panel: • Anneliese Schulz-Noël, Truvio • Jennifer Harris, Technology Management Concepts • Lak Chahal, Binary Stream Software - Microsoft ERP Solutions • Kristen Sage, MBA, Western Computer • John Scandar, Alithya • 🍀 Geoff Ables, C5 Insight • Brian Tenney, JourneyTeam • Robbie Morrison, Velosio • Mike Gillis, RSM • Tom P., BDO This is exactly what makes the AI Business Solutions Partner Executive Summit, co-created with Microsoft, different. It's not just about hearing what's next—it's about learning directly from the leaders who are shaping what's next. Ready for our dinner and networking reception party to continue these valuable conversations with the Partner, SI, and ISV practice leaders and decision-makers responsible for growth, alliances, and strategy. #AI #MicrosoftPartners Dynamic Communities

This afternoon at the AI Business Solutions Partner Executive Summit, co-created with Microsoft, we've heard two case studies that honestly just confirm why we do these events. Ben Bolte and Sabrina Zimara shared how Western Computer and iSolutions helped Business Central customer MSW Wire cut collections processing time by 80% and save 35 full business days a year on manual work. The room definitely felt that one. Then Jon Byrd and Ryan Meade walked through how Sikich and Truvio automated Treasury & AP for a Finance & Supply Chain customer — 90% accuracy on Non-PO invoices, 95% match rate on deposits. That's not a small win, that's a completely different back office. John Colgan, CEO at Solgari, continued the momentum during a Fireside chat with John Siefert, taking a look at turning customer conversations into Copilot context — a genuinely repeatable playbook that D365 partners in the room could start using Monday. From there we headed into the Solgari open bar (perfect timing) before jumping into the ISV Partner Roundtable on AI Business Model Impact. Grateful for every partner who showed up ready to talk real numbers and real lessons, not just vision decks. Let's go. 🔥 #AI #MicrosoftPartners Dynamic Communities

A big thank you to BDO for sponsoring today's lunch and helping keep attendees fueled for an afternoon to gain the clarity, relationships, and strategy required to scale a profitable, future‑ready Microsoft AI Business Solutions practice. Another highlight of the day, the FY27 Field Seller Strategic Update: SME&C & SMB Unmanaged session featuring insights from Microsoft's Sanju Nair, Liz Brackett, Eric Fink, and Ross Ladwig. Their perspectives on the FY27 strategy, priorities, and opportunities provided valuable direction for partners as we look ahead. The AI Business Solutions Partner Executive Summit continues on with with the immersion into the FY27 priorities that define partner success in the AI era. #AI #MicrosoftPartners Dynamic Communities

The conversations at the AI Business Solutions Partner Executive Summit, co-created with Microsoft, continued with three standout sessions that showed exactly what partner success looks like in the AI era: real customer outcomes, practical innovation, and repeatable plays you can take to market. ⚡ Stoneridge Software + Yaveon: Modernizing QualiTech with Dynamics 365 Business Central Eric Newell and George Delp shared how QualiTech transformed operations by moving from legacy systems to Business Central, creating unified business processes, improving production control, and eliminating siloed reporting. More importantly, they highlighted actionable strategies partners can apply immediately—from modernization assessments to expanding opportunities with CRM, Copilot, and AI. ⚡ Innovation Burst: Dooap Studio Mikko Hytonen sat down with John Siefert and reminded everyone that AI transformation starts with people. "I think it's about people. It's not really about the technology!" That mindset came to life through Dooap Studio, a new AI-powered solution helping finance teams tackle the most complex AP automation exceptions. Rather than replacing people, AI is empowering finance professionals to resolve the invoices that traditional automation can't—delivering better outcomes where they matter most. ⚡ BDO + Domain 6 Inc.: Modernizing Cortland with Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Salim F. and Paul Langowski showcased how Cortland modernized finance and operations across 70,000 apartment units globally. The measurable business impact was impressive—from reducing finance costs to accelerating cash flow projections—but equally valuable were the practical go-to-market lessons around industry specialization, AI-powered treasury management, and leveraging the broader Microsoft ecosystem. The common thread across every session? AI is creating the greatest value when it's paired with deep industry expertise, strong partnerships, and customer-first execution. A TON still to come from the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington! #AI #MsDyn365BC #APAutomation #D365FSCM #MicrosoftPartners Dynamic Communities

AI isn't just changing business applications—it's redefining how partners sell, build, and deliver value. These Microsoft keynotes at the AI Business Solutions Partner Executive Summit made one thing clear: the future belongs to partners who embrace the Agentic System of Work. 🎤 Mike Morton, Vice President, Dynamics 365 Business Central and SMB, challenged partners to rethink the new reality of sales. As AI transforms seller productivity and customer engagement, success will come to those who embed intelligence directly into the flow of work. The message was clear: the next generation of growth will be driven by AI-powered selling and the partners ready to lead that transformation. 🎤 Cecilia Flombaum, Agent Ecosystem Development Lead Business Applications, then expanded the vision with The Agentic System of Work for Partners, sharing Microsoft's FY27 direction for AI-powered business applications. Her session reinforced that aligning early with Microsoft's strategy isn't just an advantage—it's an opportunity to accelerate innovation, strengthen customer outcomes, and stay ahead of the market. The conversations throughout the day are reinforcing what we're seeing across the Microsoft ecosystem: AI isn't replacing partners—it's creating new opportunities for those ready to evolve. Stick around for more. #AI #MicrosoftPartners Dynamic Communities

The day at AI Business Solutions Partner Executive Summit has continued with an insightful, industry-focused fireside chat featuring Paul Langowski of BDO, setting the stage for the conversations ahead by exploring the opportunities and challenges partners face as AI reshapes the business applications landscape. Then Microsoft took the stage with a clear message: the future of ERP is agentic. Georg Glantschnig, Corporate Vice President of Dynamics 365 Agentic ERP at #Microsoft, delivered a compelling vision for the Dynamics 365 AI ERP FY27 Partner Opportunity, showing how AI is moving beyond copilots to intelligent agents that will fundamentally transform how businesses operate. For partners, this wasn't just a product roadmap—it was a strategic blueprint.
