Program notes for finance and operations leaders. Licensing, cutover, and AI implementation on the ERP.
Licensing before spend
Essentials, Premium, and Team Members are a finance decision. Discovery sets who posts, who approves, and who only needs to read. The mix goes to the committee with the operating model so the enterprise is not buying seats the design does not use.
Cutover the board can calendar
Data quality, a dry-run month-end, and a named cutover window are workstreams in the Business Central program. Hypercare follows go-live on the live tenant. Standing support is available when the enterprise wants change capacity after the program.
AI implementation on the ledger
Assistants and automation belong on Business Central data: approvals, documents, reconciliation, and reporting. The controller keeps the audit trail. The first release is usually the approval fabric, because the control requirement is already in the operating model.
