Microsoft Directions EMEA 2025 gathered more than 3,000 professionals in Poznań between 4 and 6 November, bringing together leaders from across the Dynamics 365 ecosystem. The message throughout the event was clear. AI has moved from being an enhancement to becoming the foundation of modern business applications. For Nexer, this event was not just an opportunity to listen. It was a chance to align strategy, validate direction, and reflect on how these innovations translate into tangible value for our clients.

Microsoft’s Direction: AI at the Core

Microsoft reinforced its AI-first approach with a range of announcements that will shape how organisations operate in the coming years.

Copilot Everywhere

Copilot is now deeply embedded across Dynamics 365 Business Central, the Power Platform and Microsoft 365. New capabilities include automated sales order creation, sustainability journal suggestions and intelligent data summarisation. Each enhancement is designed to streamline workflows and boost productivity across core business processes.

Agents and Automation

The evolution toward autonomous agents marks a shift from reactive tooling to proactive business enablement. These agents can manage payables processing, automate reconciliations and respond to customer sales inquiries, freeing teams from repetitive tasks and enabling a greater focus on strategic work.

Cloud-Driven Scale

Business Central now supports more than 50,000 companies globally and continues to expand through enhanced localisation and performance improvements, reinforcing Microsoft’s commitment to scalable cloud business applications.

Low-Code Innovation

Partners can now draft extensions using natural language and rely on agents to generate initial versions for review. With tighter Power Platform integration, partners can build and refine tailored business solutions faster and more cost effectively.

Nexer’s Perspective: Turning Insights into Action

Our team, represented by Nick Bradley (Head of Pre-sales) and Andreea Vlad (Principal Consultant), returned from Poznań energised and aligned on the strategic implications of these developments for Nexer and our clients.

1. AI as a Strategic Pillar

AI continues to mature across every layer of the Microsoft ecosystem. We are embedding AI capabilities into our services, from Copilot for Business Central, CE and Finance and Operations to advanced automations built with the Power Platform. Our focus remains on making AI practical, scalable and valuable for organisations navigating transformation.

2. Partnership-Driven Innovation

Directions reinforced the importance of strong partnerships. Nexer will continue to collaborate closely with Microsoft and ISVs to deliver solutions that combine powerful core capabilities with deep industry expertise. This approach enables integrated, high-performing and future-ready outcomes for our clients.

3. Preparing Clients for the AI Shift

AI transformation extends beyond technology and requires cultural readiness. We support organisations in mapping automation opportunities, designing workflow strategies and establishing governance frameworks that promote safe, responsible and effective AI adoption.

Why This Matters for Our Clients

Microsoft’s AI-first roadmap signals a significant shift. Organisations that embrace these capabilities will achieve greater agility, efficiency and competitive advantage. Our role at Nexer is to ensure that this transition is not only smooth but delivers measurable, long-term value.

One example is our Copilot Studio Discovery and Enablement Sprint, a focused five-day engagement that guides organisations through identifying high-impact use cases, configuring their Copilot Studio environment and building a working prototype ready to scale. It is a practical pathway from AI ambition to real-world implementation, aligned with Microsoft’s broader vision.
