Picture this: The world of enterprise resource planning is evolving rapidly, and the stakes have never been higher when it comes to protecting your business applications. In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the security and compliance measures shaping the future of Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management, spotlighting the impact of AI and advanced observability tools on safeguarding your data and staying ahead of potential threats. But here’s where it gets controversial: Are Microsoft’s licensing policies empowering users, or adding confusion and extra work?
Our guest, Bartosz Szpiech, VP of Product at XPLUS, lays out how Microsoft’s latest advancements in user security governance have led to significant changes. With shifting licensing rules, businesses now need to proactively adapt—not just to remain compliant, but also to tap into the full power of modern observability within Dynamics 365. Throughout the episode, Bartosz explains that as job roles and permissions become more tailored and secure, organizations can unlock new levels of insight into system activity. And this is the part most people miss: These insights pave the way for discovering the most valuable AI possibilities that could revolutionize ERP platforms.
We also cover the newest updates from Executive Automats, including specialized security training crafted for Finance & Operations customers. These masterclasses are designed to make security accessible—even for those who aren’t deeply technical—and prepare businesses to confidently navigate evolving requirements and automated processes. For those looking to dig even deeper, XPLUS offers a suite of resources such as security masterclasses and membership options, giving you access to in-depth tutorials, industry analysis, and product brochures that can help you maximize your Dynamics 365 investment.
Here’s something bound to spark debate: As Microsoft sharpens its focus on compliance, is it creating more opportunities for digital transformation—or inadvertently complicating system management for everyday users? Some argue these changes create a burden, while others see them as necessary steps toward a more secure future. We’d love to hear your thoughts—is increased oversight really making Dynamics 365 safer, or just harder to use?
