Business Central + Power Pages = TRUE - ColorCloud 2025


What an amazing conference ColorCloud was https://colorcloud.rocks/ 

I was thrilled to present a join session with Ulrikke Akerbæk https://www.linkedin.com/in/ulrikke/ 

Here is a copy of the slides for download PDF or PPTX format.

With the introduction of Virtual Tables in Dataverse and the support for them in Power Pages, came a new opportunity to connect with an let an external audience interact with Business Central through Power Pages.

Andy and Ulrikke set out to learn together with you what these two products can be used for. We will simply follow explorative logic, asking each other questions on the fly and answering them as they go.

These are some of the questions that we set out to find answers to:

  • What is Business Central?
  • What is Power Pages?
  • Where are the use cases and the sweet spots?
  • What do we need to get started?
  • Where do we start
  • What are the easy wins?
  • What is hard?
  • What about the software (we are talking licenses)

You will learn the basic use cases for Power Pages and Business Central, how they fit together, and when to walk away.

What I learned 

I spent a lot of time in the slightly unfamiliar territory of the Power Platform admin center & got as far as using pac Microsoft Power Platform CLI tool command group - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn.

I also attended another fantastic talk on the same topic of BC + Power Pages from Raúl Medina https://www.linkedin.com/in/raulbogajomedina/  who showed a very nice solution to the management of externa logins based on BC Contacts, sync'd with Dataverse Contacts - but with the Power Pages external invite issued and logged in BC using a combination of Power Automate and an interaction log.

Session Survey

I always do a short survey at the start of talks - to better understand who is in the audience. Here are the results from ColorCloud. 

Strong showing for technical and BC people 💪
