From May 13–16, professionals from across the Dynamics ecosystem gathered in Chicago for DynamicsCon Live 2025. This year’s conference delivered powerful insights into how AI, Copilot Agents, and cloud ERP technologies are reshaping business operations—and one standout session helped attendees connect these innovations to real-world impact.
The Power of AI and Copilot Agents
AI took center stage, especially within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Business Central. Copilot Agents were the star of the show, demonstrating how businesses can streamline vendor and customer communication with intelligent automation. Rather than sifting through documents or manually generating quotes, companies can now use agents to scan inboxes, check inventory, and generate personalized replies and proposals—saving hours of effort.
One speaker broke down how to practically evaluate AI’s ROI, including a cost analysis of Microsoft's new Sales Order Agent. The results showed potential returns over 2,700% simply by automating common sales processes. This isn’t future-state speculation—it’s a productivity leap organizations can realize today.
ERP Strategy and the Road to the Cloud
The conversation also turned to legacy ERP systems like Dynamics GP and the challenges companies face in transitioning to modern, cloud-based platforms. Security concerns, high maintenance costs, and lack of access to AI capabilities are driving many to consider Business Central. As the messaging throughout the event emphasized: you can’t leverage Microsoft’s AI innovation without being in the cloud.
