Session Abstract

Most people may not be able to tell the differences between the Online and On-Premises version of Business Central. Can you? While it is essentially the same product, it is far from identical. If you are a Business Central Consultant, a CIO or an IT Administrator, you have the important responsibility of guiding a business towards making the right choice between online and On-Premises and it starts with knowing what is different about each version and the impact of these differences. With each new release, the differences change – whether it is in the application area, the platform, or the licensing. Make sure you are armed with the most current knowledge and not just something you heard from a friend or read on the internet. This session is updated with the latest information to reflect all the changes made through Business Central 2023 Release Wave 2, with a brief nod to changes slated for 2024 Release Wave 1 coming this April.
