Sumaiya Shrabony is a Technical Program Manager and BI practitioner at the University of Colorado Denver, where she manages enterprise analytics infrastructure across Azure Data Factory, SSAS Tabular models, Power BI, multiple departments, and 500+ users.

Her work sits at the point where ERP systems, data migration, BI reporting, and AI adoption either become useful or break trust. She focuses on the proof layer behind modern analytics: migrated Business Central data, finance balances, semantic models, Power BI reports, governance constraints, and AI workflows that need reliable data before they can be trusted.

Sumaiya speaks on Business Central migration proof, Power BI and Fabric reporting continuity, semantic-layer reliability, and the operator version of AI: not hype, not theory, but the version that has to survive real users, broken dashboards, anxious stakeholders, and workflows that cannot afford confident guessing. She implemented Business Central twice (BC 14 on-prem 2020, NAV to BC 16 On-Cloud 2021).

She also writes Ground Truth, a weekly newsletter on practical AI adoption in enterprise data work. Her teaching style is specific, direct, and built for practitioners who need the work to make sense by Monday morning.
