Drawing on 25 years of experience spanning Dynamics GP through Dynamics 365 Business Central, Shannon explains why cloud migration remains the top priority for organizations undergoing digital transformation. While AI and Copilot capabilities continue to generate buzz, many businesses are still focused on modernizing legacy ERP systems to unlock scalable, integrated financial and operational workflows in the Microsoft cloud. Tune in to learn why cloud readiness is the critical foundation for AI adoption, how partners can build strong Business Central practices, and what's next for ERP transformation in the Microsoft ecosystem.  (Originally Aired January 5, 2026)
