JAT’s Connect Series supports Dynamics GP, Business Central, and Finance and Operations by keeping employee data synchronized across Payroll, Benefits, and Timekeeping systems. Mary explains how Payroll Connect began as a GP to ADP integration, how Benefits Connect grew to support multi‑carrier reporting, and how JAT’s automation engine reduces manual entry and compliance risk across all Dynamics HR workloads. Dynamics partners will hear valuable insights on why HR and Payroll require specialized expertise, how partners are adapting to channel changes, and where compliance pressures are increasing for customers.

    ISV Talks Summit NA 2025 Edition: How Simple Conversations Spark Big Solutions

    On this special edition of ISV Talks, Carol Livingston was able to sit down with Chris Giesbrecht, Manager of IT and Business Analytics at AgriHub Inc during Community Summit NA 2025. Chris manages a very complex GP system with over 13+ ISVs and roughly 200 users. We get specific about what Chris is hunting for at Summit: practical AI and automation that helps people today. We discussed his experience in attending Summit NA as a user over several years and also more recently as a speaker and panelist.  Chris explains why AgriHub is taking a year to evaluate options regarding the GP end of life and the path to an ERP migration, learning from peers who have already done GP to Dynamics 365 Business Central migrations, and avoid getting caught in the last-minute rush. We also spend time on the part that can make or break a project: change management, user adoption, and getting people involved early so the new system actually fits how work should happen. He also shares great advice for first‑time attendees—don’t be afraid to introduce yourself, ask questions, and explore. From unexpected lunch‑table connections to learning from peers who share the same challenges, Chris highlights what so many attendees discover each year: you’re never alone in your ERP journey. The best insights often come from simply talking to other users, asking questions in sessions, and stepping a little outside your comfort zone. You never know which conversation or solution will help you solve tomorrow’s problem.
