Andy Wingate
Business Central Practice Director - Microsoft MVP
I'm passionate about using technology to understand and solve real business problems. This blog is my field notebook: notes on Business Central, Dynamics 365, the Microsoft cloud, and whatever else I'm tinkering with.
A bit of background
I’ve worked with Dynamics NAV and Business Central since 2015. I spent roughly 12 years on the end-user side, managing business process, systems and core IT. I moved to work as a delivery resource at a Microsoft Partner in early 2022. Having sat on both side of the fence has shaped how I approach and deliver sucessful projects. I try to keep what I share here practical, first-hand, and focused on what actually works for real people work hard to use these tool to get the job done.
I love sharing knowledge, discussing ideas, and finding out how others understand and solve problems. Interacting with the Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365 communities is a lot of fun - the people are welcoming and always have interesting thoughts to share.
Microsoft MVP
I was recognised as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for Business Central in 2025 - an award for community contribution and sharing knowledge across the ecosystem.
