License to Save: Cracking the D365 F&SC Licensing Code Without Going Broke
D365 Finance & Supply Chain licensing feels like it was designed by someone who really, really loves spreadsheets and confusion. One wrong security role assignment and suddenly you're paying premium prices for users who just need to approve a PO. Plot twist: it doesn't have to be this painful.
This session decodes the mystery of D365 F&SC licensing and hands you the keys to compliance without the budget heartburn. We'll break down the security model and show you how to implement true least-privilege access—because "just give them sysadmin" is not a strategy. Then we'll demystify how Microsoft actually determines licensing requirements and why that one duty you added just tripled someone's license cost.
You'll walk away with practical steps to audit your current setup, identify over-provisioned users, and reclaim budget you didn't know you were losing. Plus, we'll explore Microsoft's newer Security Governance features and how they can automate the headache away.
Your CFO will thank you.
AI Detective: Uncovering Hidden Optimization Goldmines in Your D365 F&SC Data
Your D365 Finance & Supply Chain environment is hiding secrets ghost users haunting your license costs, orphaned security roles collecting dust, and inactive accounts lurking in the shadows.
It's time to put AI to work as your digital detective.
In this session, we'll crack the case on using AI models to analyze your D365 F&SC administrative data and uncover optimization opportunities you didn't know existed.
We'll start with a no-nonsense primer on AI fundamentals and MCP servers (no PhD required), then dive into crafting prompts that actually get results. You'll see three practical approaches for gathering your data from the "quick and dirty" Excel export to building automated console apps and leveraging MCP servers.
Walk away with real-world examples: finding users who've gone AWOL, spotting security roles assigned to nobody, and identifying license optimization opportunities that could save your organization real money.
Bring your magnifying glass, we're going data hunting.
