You invested in Dynamics 365 Business Central because someone told you it would transform your operations. Better reporting. Cleaner data. Faster close. One source of truth.
So why is your team still working in Excel?
I’ve seen this pattern hundreds of times. A company goes live, checks the box, and quietly realizes: the reports don’t match, the integrations need workarounds, half the modules went unused, and the partner who built it has moved on.
That’s usually when someone finds me.
I’ve spent 12+ years working exclusively inside Business Central and Dynamics NAV — implementing, rescuing, and optimizing ERP systems for companies across manufacturing, distribution, financial services, and professional services.
Along the way, I started writing down everything I was learning. That turned into a library:
“Beyond the Ledgers” — a guide for business leaders on turning BC data into decisions using built-in analytics, Excel, and AI tools like ChatGPT.
The MB-820 Exam Cram series — a growing collection of hands-on guides that BC developers worldwide use to master the platform and pass their Microsoft certification. Topics range from AL tables and extensions to cloud migration, automation APIs, Outlook and Teams integration, and more.
I write these because I believe the BC ecosystem gets better when knowledge is shared openly — and because the best way to truly understand something is to teach it.
Microsoft has recognized my early work with multiple MVP awards. Sometimes I speak at Directions, DynamicsCon, Community Summit, and DUG Regional events, and blog regularly at svirlan.com.
Consulting
This site is where I write and teach. For client work, I operate through SureHoofERP.com – my Business Central consulting practice. If you have a hard BC problem, that’s when to find me: performance issues, locking, AL development, migrations, integrations. Direct work, Microsoft MVP, no account managers.
But none of that matters unless it solves your problem. Reach out if:
→ Your BC implementation isn’t delivering what was promised
→ Your integrations are held together with duct tape
→ Your team quietly went back to spreadsheets
→ You need someone who’s seen this movie before
Let’s talk.
