Upgrading Business Central customizations is time-consuming, repetitive, and error-prone — especially when dealing with complex object merges and legacy code. In this session, we explore how AI can take over the boring, tedious parts of the upgrade process so you can focus on what actually requires your expertise.
We'll start with the biggest upgrade pain point — AL object merging — and show how AI can assist in analyzing conflicts, suggesting merge resolutions, and refactoring legacy code into clean, modern AL. Then, as time permits, we'll look at how AI tooling can help identify performance issues and technical debt introduced or exposed after an upgrade.
We'll cover:
• Why manual code merging is a bottleneck — and where AI fits in
• Using AI to analyze AL objects and suggest merge resolutions
• Validating AI suggestions — where it helps and where it still needs you
• Detecting unused customizations and refactoring targets with AI assistance
• Post-upgrade: using AI to surface performance issues faster
You'll leave with a practical mindset shift — AI doesn't replace your upgrade expertise, it handles the repetitive work so you can focus on decisions that matter.
