Unlocking Seamless Integration: Mastering Messaging Patterns with Azure and Business Central
Messaging services are one of the most widely used integration services. They are critical to keeping systems like CRM and ERP up-to-date and connected to legacy systems that cannot expose APIs or are not always available.

Although there is never just one way to implement those patterns, the right combination of components will help you to implement those patterns more quickly or efficiently.
In this session, Tharanga Chandrasekara (Business Solutions MVP) and Steve Gichure will discuss what technologies are available in Azure for Messaging and common messaging patterns. This session will be fully hands-on!
