00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,320
Welcome to another edition of the 365FM podcast.

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,440
Today's guest is Biloa.

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,960
And now I hope I pronounce that correctly.

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,400
Samzad, this Ulu.

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,160
Actually, it's Shandan Jouli, it's Turkish.

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,280
And even in Turkish, it's very hard, not the pronounce, but maybe the right.

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,680
We can take everything.

8
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:37,960
So it's in English like Chandlear Makers Sun, meaning.

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,960
Okay.

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,920
And if you try to do it in English, it would be hard.

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,000
But yeah, thank you for the try.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:54,040
Yeah, you are Microsoft, this MVP, Microsoft, SolidVet China, Dynamics 365 Community Super

13
00:00:54,040 --> 00:01:01,640
User Dynamics 365 Financial Operations Solution Architect Expert.

14
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:08,520
Also you work since 2004 in more than 40 projects.

15
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:15,600
Yeah, and there you got a deep expertise in finance, transformation, ERP strategy, and

16
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,960
yeah, the future of AI and power business applications.

17
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:26,920
And in this episode, we will explore the future of finance and Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations,

18
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,920
how co-pull it and AI agent change ERP system and what co-work reading means inside the

19
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,760
generation of enterprise finance.

20
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:43,000
So before the people discover you for the first time, what's your background and your journey

21
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,680
into Microsoft ERP and yeah, financial systems?

22
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:55,840
Actually, I've never seen myself as an ERP consultant 22 years ago.

23
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,360
So I was out for the university.

24
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,000
Then I couldn't find a job as an accountant back then.

25
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,800
And somehow there was Dynamics University, but back then it was AX, 22 years ago.

26
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:17,640
So I applied for the university and after a month, we have been placed into different

27
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:23,960
consultancy companies and this is how my journey starts.

28
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,120
And I'm not, I cannot say that I'm sorry for that.

29
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:34,600
I'm very happy and very, yeah, enthusiast in Dynamics, honestly speaking.

30
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:43,760
So when I first started, you know, it was, I started in Turkey and in Turkey, we do not

31
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,400
have too much clients because also AX was very new.

32
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,360
So there are just a couple of them.

33
00:02:51,360 --> 00:03:00,000
I was very lucky to work for one or two of the biggest companies in Turkey and implementing

34
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:13,160
AX back then started with 3.0 then 4.0 2009, 2012 and then we come for Dynamics.

35
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:22,520
So when we look all these versions that we have, you can simply say it's, it got stronger

36
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,880
and stronger.

37
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,200
So it's amazing where we are now.

38
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:36,200
When we started with 3.0, it's just changes are being made almost like a yearly basis.

39
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,240
So in each year you have a new version.

40
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:46,040
And then when it comes to Dynamics then we have, we were like, it's consultants.

41
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,000
Okay, can you please stop releasing some good things because you know, you have to catch

42
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
up.

43
00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:04,080
So you know, for the first time in AX, 20 years ago, we were like, everything, everything in

44
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,080
AX.

45
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,400
I was the finance consultant.

46
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,880
I was logistics consultant.

47
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:19,720
I was the warehouse consultant and I knew everything, but in Dynamics now we have too many

48
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:20,720
things.

49
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:28,440
I'm just labeling myself as mainly finance consultant and a solution architect.

50
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,360
Of course, solution architects needs to know other modules and other functionalities also

51
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,640
for Power Platform Object and all the technologies.

52
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:45,360
We can say that way, but Dynamics is a bit different.

53
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:53,640
Why I'm saying this one is that in Dynamics, it's also, we have released in three months,

54
00:04:53,640 --> 00:05:02,960
try to catch up, but in these last two years, it's year-round, I can say.

55
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:11,960
It's a huge rally that we have to keep on learning, evolving and making us trying to catch

56
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:12,960
up.

57
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:23,400
Even if I will come to that point in AI, where we are in Dynamics of course, but even from

58
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:32,920
the last November, I learned about, and when I tried, you know, I'm also a speaker in

59
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:39,400
some of the biggest events, wonderful events.

60
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:49,640
I'm changing almost weekly my presentations, adding, who's that I need to show or else,

61
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:57,080
you know, in a month, in two months, these topics are all, anyway.

62
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:06,480
It's really, I can say that while the world is changing with AI, so quickly, also Dynamics

63
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,160
and AI as well.

64
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,200
Awesome.

65
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,120
So we have a lot of MVPs and NCT series guests.

66
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,520
So I never heard the title Dynamics 365 community super user.

67
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,760
What was this?

68
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:30,040
It's because that the, you know, this naming has been changed in the last or the previous year.

69
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:36,520
So it was something else, but now we call them super users.

70
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:44,920
You know that being an MVP is something that you have that title if you are supporting

71
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:45,920
community.

72
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,600
And community in this case, the apart platform community could be an Azure community.

73
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:59,880
It could be office community MN 365 or in this case, Dynamics community.

74
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:06,320
So being an NCT is Microsoft certified trainer for Microsoft certified trainer.

75
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,840
You have to, this means that you are a teacher.

76
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:16,600
You are Microsoft perspective.

77
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,960
You have your trainings, you have your certifications and then you are eligible to give Microsoft

78
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,160
product training official.

79
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:30,880
This is what an expertise super user is something that I really like to be because evaluation

80
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,480
is made for NCT and MVP.

81
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:43,200
It's made by Yurlee, but for this pure user, we have every year two seasons.

82
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,880
I took the fork.

83
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,160
I'm very happy for that one.

84
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,080
What you do is that you are supporting your community.

85
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:58,680
There is a web page for Dynamics 365 community and you reply the questions that people ask

86
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,400
and people do ask lots of questions there.

87
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:09,400
So you go in there, you reply them and they can validate your answer or they can like your

88
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,640
answer.

89
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,240
And then you collect some points and if you have reached enough points, then you can be

90
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,960
a super user.

91
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:23,440
What I like to be a super user is because you help people.

92
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,560
It's it's it's committed to work.

93
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:32,200
It's not about, I don't know, and I've even been a super user before being an MVP or

94
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,640
being an MCT.

95
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:41,480
And how I decided to be a super user is that 20 years ago, you know, imagine there's not

96
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:47,400
this much of a technology, of course, technology world and we still use for to find answers for

97
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,680
AI.

98
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:58,160
When you are searching for an answer of the problem that you face in AX, for example, we

99
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:05,760
have to be search it and I always have the answers in Dynamics 365 community and especially

100
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,720
from two persons.

101
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:14,560
I see that there are replies and I was like, wow, they know a lot and they almost reply all

102
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:16,600
the issues correctly.

103
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:22,840
You find the answers there that you have faced that also other people's faced and you

104
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:32,040
solved and I was really when I see them, they were like my heroes, years passed and one

105
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,600
day I say that, why do I why do I not help people?

106
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,600
Right.

107
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,440
Why do not answer the questions?

108
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,240
I have that information.

109
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,880
Most of the most of the cases that happen to be as well.

110
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:51,000
So I started replying the questions in Dynamics 365 community.

111
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,800
This is where actually my MVP journey starts as well.

112
00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:04,400
I never thought that I would be an MVP one day but after I start answering questions, I start

113
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,840
to be friends with my heroes because they were still there after 20 years.

114
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:19,360
And now in the event, so we see each other, I even have photos with them and exactly, you

115
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,760
know one of them is uncomfortable.

116
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,680
For the world as hope.

117
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:36,400
So, he is a wonderful person, still supporting our community, still my hero.

118
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:43,680
And it's about, it's super user because it's like a superhero that helps the people,

119
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:48,920
you know, why the super heroes are here for, to help.

120
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,000
And everybody can be a super user.

121
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:01,840
All they have to do is to go on the site and, and you just support, reply, it is questions

122
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,240
that you have already faced and sold in your lives.

123
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,240
Yeah.

124
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:12,720
That's like, this was a good answer and the people can upward downward it like, I don't

125
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,880
know, redd it or something.

126
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:15,880
Exactly.

127
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,600
And you can ask AI.

128
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,480
I feel, even what I do is that you, I didn't use AI for the purpose, but I see people using

129
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:28,080
AI and supporting it, it's, it's good enough as well.

130
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:36,120
But also sometimes when I, I learn, I read the questions, I say that, okay, I didn't know

131
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,120
this module.

132
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,760
Oh, there's some new came that I didn't know of.

133
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:45,600
I should learn this one or say, Oh, okay, in the future, I'm looking that there is this

134
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,440
problem and this is the solution.

135
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,280
So let's keep this in my mind just in case.

136
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:59,360
So it's not just, it's mostly helping the people, but also when you are helping people, they

137
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,960
help you as well.

138
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:06,400
So this is what the community is and you will have friends and friends are for your good

139
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:14,400
and bad days and, yeah, the community is very supposable.

140
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:22,120
I think this is also be one of the greatest party in the, or, or, or, stuff in the Microsoft

141
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,800
ecosystem is, it's not all the tech, the most tech is, is really great, but it's, I think

142
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,200
the community is, is what they build is, it's really strong.

143
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:38,440
I don't know, I don't have any idea of the mother tech company have this strong community.

144
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:44,360
I think, okay, Apple, Apple has, this is well, but our community is, it's, it's, it's

145
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:49,480
really, really have lots of wonderful people, I can say.

146
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,600
I, I see them in different events.

147
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,760
I've gone to, to Portuguese for, it was, it was by some, it, perfect people.

148
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:04,080
I go, I will go to the dynamics minds in Slovenia, wonderful people, a, a, a, a color cloud

149
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:10,080
in a Hamburg, Germany, it's just wonderful people, everybody is trying to do something and they

150
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,640
are, bleep for free.

151
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,240
You know, it's just amazing.

152
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,560
It's amazing because they are very enthusiastic like me.

153
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:27,720
I, I got myself enthusiastic because, yeah, where, from the Microsoft perspective, I see

154
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,960
that there are lots of good things going on and, and you get excited for that and, and

155
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,120
you would like to add your value in them as well.

156
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:42,120
I don't know, maybe I'm just on a heap or just, this is what I am about.

157
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:50,680
Yeah, it's, it, at the start, I say, I say, you work in more than 40 projects and you start

158
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:51,680
2004.

159
00:13:51,680 --> 00:14:00,520
And what are the biggest changes you have been seen in ERP over the years?

160
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:08,280
Wow, it's just, you know, it's been, okay, so everybody was talking about the AI.

161
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:16,840
I, I, I think it was two or three years ago, I do not really remember that one, but then

162
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,520
I, this is the first thing that I see in from Charles Lamanna.

163
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:28,200
Charles Lamanna said, but of course, this is not the, maybe naming of Charles Lamanna, but

164
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,680
I heard from him first saying that copilot is the UI for AI.

165
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:34,680
We said, what?

166
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,920
We have no idea what copilot is back then.

167
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:47,000
We know AI, we have chat GPT, there was chat, I think, whatever.

168
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000
And then we say that, what does it mean copilot is UI for you?

169
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,040
I think this started that fire.

170
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,000
Before that, yes, of course, dynamics was really good.

171
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,600
There was lots of investments there, even before the copilot there are financial insights,

172
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,160
financial insights were generating the machine learning.

173
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,240
And, but it was just so static.

174
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,760
Then copilot started.

175
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:23,040
I think this, it was the, the biggest start in the evolution.

176
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:31,920
And somehow that fire is not very big anymore, yes, there was some things and, but then they

177
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:37,400
say something like agents, we were like, okay, we have copilot and they've changed some

178
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,360
of the names from copilot to copilot to agents.

179
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:52,600
We say, okay, agents are fine, but we say that they're not very, very much AI.

180
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:58,400
So, some a little bit static, a little bit AI, so it's very in between.

181
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:04,760
So, they say, they start saying that a copilot for every employee, an agent for every business

182
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:05,760
process.

183
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:13,940
And copilot was more about replying your questions, giving you some thinking space and agents

184
00:16:13,940 --> 00:16:20,080
were for to do business and doing your businesses.

185
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,400
Then last year.

186
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:32,720
I think when I saw that for the first time in my life in dynamics, my jaw drop, it was

187
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:42,560
the 365 summit in Lisbon and, and Andre was showing us something called NCP server.

188
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:51,360
And I let me, I think it was, yeah, Andre showed there to create a van.

189
00:16:51,360 --> 00:17:02,840
And the system in Dynamics 365, just writing this, okay, find this vendor, he put the vendor

190
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:10,840
name, go to the internet and go to his webpage, it didn't write the webpage there.

191
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:21,280
And then collect its data, address information, contact information and, and, and, whatever.

192
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:28,320
And create in Dynamics, he write.

193
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:33,040
And I was like, what?

194
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:39,560
It find out the MCP server with Visual Studio code he was using, he wrote it in the Visual

195
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:47,280
Studio code, but the MCP server, it go, it go find out that vendors website put down the

196
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:55,400
information, and knows that it should also put currency information because Andre didn't

197
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:00,000
write that to put down the currency information because currency information is mandatory,

198
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,160
not.

199
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,560
But system told that it should put the currency code because it's mandatory.

200
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:15,400
And then, because it's a German company, right, it find out that it has a assumption that

201
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,080
the currency should be run and put there the information on that one.

202
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,080
I was like, what?

203
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,080
I put that.

204
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,680
And then, let's become and also make a presentation.

205
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,480
This is why I always say that you should attend these kind of events.

206
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,440
You cannot see it by reading, you know, it's, you can do it by reading in a way, but I think

207
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:41,360
it's very important to go to events, be there or at least some online events if you are

208
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:49,000
not able to go there or watch some online meetings, so you have this kind of information.

209
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:57,720
And then, let's come there, write down saying that, okay, connect to Dynamics 365 F&O and

210
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:06,000
create me a CEO presentation about my cash and it created a PowerPoint automatically

211
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,880
looking at the Dynamics 365 data, generating a PDF for us.

212
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,880
You can always create visuals.

213
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:22,600
Of course, we can use the Power BI, we can create some apps, but you always require a developer.

214
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,720
I admit, you still need a developer.

215
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:33,160
My husband is a developer, so we need, okay, so to pay the bills, we still need him to

216
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,760
work.

217
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:43,640
At the end, we always hearing the vibe coding for some time, vibe coding, but here we see

218
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,600
that we have that vibe coding thing.

219
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,440
So everybody fell in it.

220
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,520
They said, wow, vibe coding, perfect.

221
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,360
Everybody can code now, right?

222
00:19:55,360 --> 00:20:00,240
No, that's, that's, that's the little long.

223
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:07,680
Let me continue, so that was my job-dropping moment.

224
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:16,000
Microsoft started saying something like, "Burg, Ike, we said that we know Ike, ever,

225
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,240
work, whatever."

226
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,760
And that was actually another thing.

227
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:26,880
It's not a tool to use, but it's an understanding.

228
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,280
It's a labor in between.

229
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:36,480
Because when you say AI, AI can do anything, literally anything, go to different websites,

230
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:45,560
collect, unhinged data, whatever, or, or, or, or use your data to wherever it requires.

231
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:54,200
But work Ike does understand you, your patterns, your business, and literally your company.

232
00:20:54,200 --> 00:21:04,680
So they put work Ike in the core saying that with this one, this AI, this copy that is for

233
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,880
you, for your business, they say.

234
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:17,120
And then last one, it was in April, so it's very new and hot.

235
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:18,120
There is cover.

236
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:20,960
So when you go into LinkedIn, it's crazy.

237
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,960
Everything is talking about the cover.

238
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:29,600
I am daily trying different things in co-work and trying to find out the capabilities.

239
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,240
It has skills.

240
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,920
It creates different outputs.

241
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,800
You can do everything, almost everything with co-work.

242
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:47,600
Last November, my job dropped, and with co-work, my brain explodes.

243
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,200
I can tell you that one.

244
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,760
It's because the co-work is another issue.

245
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,240
New way, it's a new way of work.

246
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,720
I agree, honestly speaking.

247
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,840
It has plugins that collect data.

248
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,720
Let me tell you this one.

249
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:13,720
I'm here trying to explain how things are now to quickly being implemented.

250
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,240
So we say that speed, whatever.

251
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:23,920
When I see the first co-work, let me think where it was.

252
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,720
It was in color cloth.

253
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,400
It was in Hamburg.

254
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,400
I go there.

255
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:35,200
I joined, I have my own session, but I joined my friend's session there talking about

256
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,200
the cover.

257
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,200
It was very new.

258
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:43,240
I would like to show in color cloth, but it was like one week and I believe that I couldn't

259
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,240
show anything.

260
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,800
So I didn't put it into my agenda.

261
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,920
But I would like to learn it because I started hearing that there will be a cover because

262
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,920
I hear from...

263
00:22:54,920 --> 00:23:00,160
Apple Dunham, one of the big perfect in the...

264
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,360
You know as well.

265
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:06,040
I see that, okay, there's a cover, so I have to learn it, whatever.

266
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,440
And show us how co-work works.

267
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:16,080
Back then, it was the first weeks of April when we were there, I think, 15 torso.

268
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:29,440
They said it, okay, there's co-work that can just take your agenda, can place customer meetings,

269
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:36,120
automatically, when you write down there with the vibe coding, saying that, okay, we need

270
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:39,560
for this customer at 10 a.m.

271
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:49,560
And I said, okay, I'll do that.

272
00:23:49,560 --> 00:24:00,360
And I said, okay, I wish that we can have some dynamics 365 if they know there, right?

273
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:05,880
So what I did was that I know that I have my...

274
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,480
It was still impressive.

275
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:14,120
So I said, okay, I will use some of Dynamics 365 AI Management email creation tools and

276
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:20,800
also use some co-work because it's using the emails and the team's function, else to shop

277
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,000
in dynamics minds, which is the end of this month.

278
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,040
And saying that, this is what we have now.

279
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,800
Hopefully, Microsoft will have...

280
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,120
I think 365 FONDA integration in the future, I was planning to say.

281
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:45,120
So I was wrong because after I placed my presentation and after...

282
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:55,360
Color Cloud in a Microsoft, say that, okay, we have a new apps and...

283
00:24:55,360 --> 00:25:00,840
I think it's nine to 365 FNR, so you can check the data, direct.

284
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,160
We were like, boom.

285
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,560
So it's crazy.

286
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,880
This is how quick the things are.

287
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,960
You think, and Microsoft in a week or two does.

288
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,440
So this...

289
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:26,400
When we are talking about the AI, of the co-pilot and how the things are, we are thinking

290
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,000
of 20 years ago.

291
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,880
It's hugely speedy.

292
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:42,560
It's a good thing, but it's really hard to evolve within for the months that are in my age

293
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:43,560
movie.

294
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:56,320
Up in the end, you have to keep on learning by using Microsoft Learn or attending events.

295
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:04,720
There are very good fast track videos that Microsoft Fast Track team does, so you always keep

296
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,680
on moving from yet perspective.

297
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,040
Awesome.

298
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,040
I think a little bit...

299
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:20,480
There is so much happening in financial operations.

300
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:31,600
How have the role of financial teams evolved since the start of AI in your perspective?

301
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,400
Let me go this one.

302
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,400
I will just...

303
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,680
I use this story, and this has been told by my mother.

304
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:48,560
So she was working as a manager of human resources, but of course before she was a manager.

305
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:57,900
She started from the beginning, and when I first started, it's very important that you

306
00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:03,080
can make some in your mind.

307
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:14,120
So the best person of the company was the people that can sum all the information from

308
00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:15,440
their mind.

309
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:20,080
Then she said that we have calculators.

310
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:25,320
And what we do is that we calculate, we do the sum in the calculators, and then the sum

311
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:32,960
has been made by the people who know who already done, and then we check together, which one

312
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:33,960
is the core?

313
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,320
And then we start trusting on calculators.

314
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:43,800
Then one time she explained, there is a computer game, and there was just one computer in the

315
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:51,040
company within a room that you cannot go in, you have to need to have a key, and you go

316
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:56,880
in there, and you put the values and arm it up whatever.

317
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:04,080
What they do is that first calculate in the calculator and in the computer, and then at

318
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,320
some time they start trusting.

319
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:11,520
Then this is now where I start, the ERP scheme.

320
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,520
Right?

321
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,360
We are pizza tools that we started using.

322
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:20,080
So what people do is that they were using their offices, of course, X-Wah.

323
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:26,360
Then we say office, it's X-L, of course, they did the X-L, and they put the information

324
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:32,960
in ERP, like Dynamics Tristics, what, and they built the trust on dynamics.

325
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,560
There was always some concern on that one.

326
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:41,040
Even if you are using the computer, even if you are using the ERP systems, I always faced

327
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,800
the same question.

328
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:48,080
They say that, "Neel, I lose my job."

329
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:53,000
This is the most common questions that comes here.

330
00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:02,000
And then we now have the AI, and we have the vibe coding that everybody can code.

331
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,440
People keep on asking, "Will I lose my job with this AI?"

332
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,480
It's tricky question.

333
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,920
I have two answers.

334
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:17,960
So when you look, you know that we do not see any chimney sweepers that much today, right?

335
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,560
It's changed because life changed.

336
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:26,000
But this doesn't mean that chimney sweepers are not doing something else.

337
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:33,920
Or we do not see people that are lighting the lamps, like in London in 50s or 40s.

338
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:39,440
Now there is electricity and everybody, all the lights are being on, so.

339
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,080
This is a tricky question.

340
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,240
I always say it's the evolution.

341
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:52,840
This doesn't mean that you will lose your job, but it's more about the change.

342
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:53,840
You will evolve.

343
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,240
You will change in that way.

344
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:02,080
In the back days, there are more accountants, less developer, and now we have more developer

345
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,840
business accountants.

346
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,760
So the type of work, the way of work, will change.

347
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:16,880
So this is first my answer how dynamics and processes will affect.

348
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:23,520
The second one is that what we say, I heard it in one of the conferences and I really like

349
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:32,040
it and I will use it now, is why coding is not by engineering.

350
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,240
So I can do why coding.

351
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,320
I can write whatever I want to there.

352
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,080
But it's still a system.

353
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:48,920
So still someone that web engineer, which is in my husband, that will not lose his job,

354
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:57,280
needs to go to do some setups, not just the setups, but also do the governance to be

355
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,400
sure from the very perspective.

356
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:11,760
It doesn't go something to some places that will risk my company's data and I do not, to

357
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:16,080
be sure that I'm connecting the correct data from the correct place.

358
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,520
It improvised, right?

359
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:25,560
This is why we have work active, but still you have to close and open some gateways to where to

360
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,280
look in.

361
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:35,120
And also I should be even if I've written the web coding, I should be one as a business

362
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:44,320
user, as a business department to know at least it's not the AI is not like improvising.

363
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:53,320
It's just go unhinged and the data should be correct for you to your get for me, not like

364
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:54,600
replacing the ERP.

365
00:31:54,600 --> 00:32:03,200
ERP will be there forever, but like the computers, life phones, like electricity, honestly

366
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:09,640
seeing, it's just making our lives easier.

367
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:16,160
If we say that change is a bad thing, then none of us should be using the cars, okay?

368
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,400
We can walk away.

369
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,920
We can use the horses, the horses you don't.

370
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:28,520
Because it's like cards, easier to do the things or or by bikes, it depends on which one

371
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,040
you prefer.

372
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:37,240
So from that perspective, this is why I always saying that open to the change, but not

373
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:45,320
wait for change to come for you, learn it, change it and work on it.

374
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:54,080
There are lots of agents there in dynamics, in co-priest studio, but you can create your

375
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,920
agents as well.

376
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:02,880
So as we said before, there are developers and there are good developers, right?

377
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:03,880
I always say that.

378
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,240
Everybody can code.

379
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,720
Most developers do is that they copy paste from the back, right?

380
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,480
Or from the previous projects.

381
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:19,800
But a good developer go into the code and make it optimized to make it work better.

382
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:29,360
In zero, at XT, database, performance, whatever.

383
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,600
So we said there were developers, there were good developers.

384
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,360
And now we have the wipe coders and there are wipe engineers.

385
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:45,800
Wipe engineers will create new agents, agents for your work, this is good luck to use.

386
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:54,240
And also be sure that agents are working clearly not to put everything into one agent.

387
00:33:54,240 --> 00:34:06,680
But from the right agent agents workflows, and then to manage the process wisely, secure

388
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:15,480
it, governance, and this will now be very important in the world of AI.

389
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:23,440
Or else, no, if you put anything, it's a toddler, right?

390
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:34,840
And also this naming from my friends in EPPC, European Cultural Conference that taken

391
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,800
long for the designs, it's a toddler.

392
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:45,440
So you said to your toddler saying that, okay, do not talk with strangers, right?

393
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:51,840
So there should be someone writing the AI saying that, don't talk to this stranger, don't

394
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:52,840
talk, go that, right?

395
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:58,520
Do not put your finger in the switch, right?

396
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:08,600
So this assumption, I think is very important when it comes to the setups.

397
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:17,360
And for now, at least this is what we are waiting for on the wipe engineers to do so.

398
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:18,600
Awesome.

399
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:28,200
So human-dition, co-pilot, agents, and co-work, how you define those concepts inside

400
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,600
Dynamics 365 financial operations.

401
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:39,520
That's a good question actually, because there are lots of things that you can manage.

402
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:45,720
Agents are the things that you use to do your work.

403
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:52,360
You can use agents in co-work, you can use agents in co-pilot studio, or you can use some

404
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:57,040
agents directly in Dynamics 365.

405
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,040
The agents in Dynamics 365 are a little bit more static.

406
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:09,440
For example, there is a supplier communication agent, and what it can do is to do the related

407
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,760
task.

408
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:23,400
Or you can use into co-pilot studio, for example, use the co-pilot for Dynamics 365 agent,

409
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:32,120
or analyze the agent which is using the business performance analytics tool to gather out the

410
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:39,080
data and put you all the details as informative.

411
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:49,720
But it's very important you to know which tool works for what and which skills it has.

412
00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:54,840
For example, in co-pilot studio, in Dynamics I told you that there are very specific agents

413
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:59,160
that only do what are named for.

414
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:06,920
In co-pilot studio, when you use it, use these agents of the Dynamics 365, 800 agents.

415
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,760
It gives you a wonderful insights on your business.

416
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:21,560
It gives you data, but not data also if you ask them to give you insights.

417
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:28,240
It looks, I don't know where, but it really gives you very wonderful insights and it talks

418
00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:29,240
a lot.

419
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:34,480
It talks pages and pages on what you should do, where you should do, saying that you have

420
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,840
to connect, contact with this one, that, whatever.

421
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:52,280
Or you can use agents, for example, in Teams and Outlook or even PowerPoint as co-pilot.

422
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,720
And also you can use co-work.

423
00:37:54,720 --> 00:38:02,880
Co-work is actually called it co-pilot-co-work, but I always imagine if this is not something

424
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:09,880
official, I think.

425
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:17,800
In co-work, it's more about the communication tool that works on M365.

426
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:26,760
For example, you can create, you can ask co-work, which I have tried, saying that, "Okay,

427
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:32,760
I would like to place a meeting with this customer and take this customer's email address

428
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,120
from the collection contact."

429
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,040
And then, "Setup a meeting."

430
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,840
Also, "Please prepare for the meeting."

431
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:40,840
Me for the meeting.

432
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:47,440
So when I say "prepare for the meeting," it creates a word document and sharing its insights

433
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,760
about, "I should talk in this kind of a meeting."

434
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:54,240
I say that there is a payment conflict, so give me, "It did."

435
00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:58,040
It also puts in there some aging information, whatever.

436
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,040
Then I say that, "Okay, now create me a presentation."

437
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:07,800
It creates a new presentation to show in the meeting that I will have, which has been

438
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:08,800
planned.

439
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,520
And also, I say that, "Okay, send me this information via email."

440
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:23,520
So it sends me this information via email, the PDF of the invoices, and the Excel sheet of

441
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,880
all the invoices that it has.

442
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:32,440
And also, you can say that, "Okay, give me some adaptive card report and send them to my

443
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,440
teams."

444
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,520
And it does all that.

445
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:41,840
So when we say that, if we should use compilers studio or we should use the code work or

446
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:47,040
we should use Dynamics agents or any other agents, it depends.

447
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:53,360
This is why you need to know which one does what and what do you require.

448
00:39:53,360 --> 00:40:04,000
And also, it's very important to set up security rules, because you do not want to reach out

449
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,000
the sensitive data.

450
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000
This is also bad.

451
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:21,440
So when we look at what I will use is that I will use homework as the endpoint of the

452
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:29,440
users who will interact with, for example, a customer or vendor and requires data and information

453
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,440
from the system.

454
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,480
I would use at that point, probably.

455
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:38,360
I will just compile studio for more management.

456
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:45,160
I mean, for example, if I would like to inquire how, what are my risky customers are, how

457
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:51,400
I can just contact with them, how, what should I do as a company?

458
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,360
To make these less risky.

459
00:40:55,360 --> 00:41:00,240
So it can give more insights from the more spikest.

460
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:06,880
Yeah, when we talk about risk, how important are governance compliance and auditability

461
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:12,480
when introducing AI into finance, especially a DFO?

462
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:13,480
Yes.

463
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:21,080
So this is where I think, as I said, wipe engineering is really crucial.

464
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:28,080
So what hasn't changed is that we are still building business, the same goal, the firm

465
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,400
method.

466
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,400
And we still maximize the value from the tools.

467
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:37,320
We are using the tools as much as we can.

468
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:43,280
And governance, of course, consistency, security and mentoring is important.

469
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:48,080
And also there is a room for innovation.

470
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:57,480
But when I look into how to manage AI, I think, is very important to have the environment's

471
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,080
strategy management.

472
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:07,200
So you should know which environments to use, which technologies in this case.

473
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,720
So is it in production?

474
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:13,640
Is it in dev environment on how the security is to be managed?

475
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,520
And also it's very important to use the agents.

476
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,440
You have to set up the context correctly.

477
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,880
You have to add the knowledge sources, you have to manage skills.

478
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,360
Or else, as I said, it will go anywhere.

479
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:34,080
It will look any web pages that should not be required to go.

480
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,440
And also that you need to set up the agent collaboration.

481
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,000
So you cannot put everything into one agent to do.

482
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,760
So you have to do the workflows.

483
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,600
You have to monitor them.

484
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:51,520
You have to be sure because the refreedom is also responsibility.

485
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,000
So why it to be so casual with the AI?

486
00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:00,920
So you should control the data leakage, user security, regulatory violations.

487
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:10,960
And you should continue on continuous improvement from that purpose.

488
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:26,560
So it's very critical that some people in there trying to handle all these information

489
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,720
in the system and manage them.

490
00:43:29,720 --> 00:43:38,480
Because or else, there will be an operational chaos, data leakages that you cannot manage.

491
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:47,360
But what I also think is good is when you go for the AI trust, if you are saying that I have

492
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:54,720
three or four things I can tell for if trust the AI first, it's a toddler.

493
00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:55,720
Okay.

494
00:43:55,720 --> 00:43:58,440
So you teach and learn together.

495
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,720
You always learn things from your children.

496
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:05,760
So I have a 14 year old, so I'm still learning from him.

497
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:11,000
So they have really good ideas and AI can have very good ideas.

498
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:17,080
For example, when I say that, okay, create this one, it creates and sometimes creates it more,

499
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:23,880
okay, give more information, which is not required, which is not fulfilled in the system.

500
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,360
So you teach and learn.

501
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:35,480
So don't use it by writing one sentence of or five sentences of wife coding and a sum

502
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,440
that this is the perfect thing.

503
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:46,200
No, always control it and teach it because it's AI is artificial intelligence learning

504
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:47,840
the toddler.

505
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,280
Do not put them unhinged.

506
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:58,240
So governance is very important, security setting up agents, going in the descriptions and

507
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:00,120
fulfill it correctly.

508
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:07,080
And also, what I like is that I would advise for the people who still do not use or planning

509
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:13,320
to use, go for the read the documentation of Microsoft of responsible AI in the responsible

510
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:19,200
AI, Microsoft explained what the responsible AI perspective of Microsoft is.

511
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:26,120
But this is a very detailed document that can be discussed for another hour, but yeah,

512
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:27,120
user.

513
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:35,160
But as I said, as before, AI is when I set up the ERP is I always say it depends on the

514
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,160
users.

515
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,640
It depends on the people.

516
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:45,600
They always told me that will they have these reports in the system and I always say that

517
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:56,080
you may, why you do not put the correct information, correct data into the system, then there's

518
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:03,080
not like if you do not, if finance team do not post the in voices at the accounting team,

519
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:08,320
do not post the in voices, finance team cannot do the cash flow, correct?

520
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,240
If the cash flow in the system, yes, but the users didn't.

521
00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:21,600
So if you do not post in voices in the system, then your manager cannot use the co-pilot studio

522
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:27,640
or co-work or whatever, which technology it is, cannot take the correct data.

523
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:33,240
So we always say that, whooping, whoopo, what?

524
00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:36,080
It's more shiny, but it's the same.

525
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:43,320
So I think when you go for the trust, for things, teach and learn together, do not make

526
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:52,920
it unhinged, make governance, read the responsible AI documentation of the Microsoft and have good

527
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:57,160
and responsible users before responsible AI.

528
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:01,080
So this is what I would tell in the end.

529
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,080
Awesome.

530
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:08,240
Now we come to one of my favorite parts, I have the three quotes, I looked a little bit

531
00:47:08,240 --> 00:47:14,280
into LinkedIn, what people write, and I give you the quote and you say, what do you think

532
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,280
about this quote, okay?

533
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:17,280
Okay.

534
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:24,840
The ERP systems are becoming decision-making platforms, not just transactional systems.

535
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:31,640
It's not ERP systems, I think it's the agents or co-pilot that you use it.

536
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:42,560
So it will not, ERP systems will be still there, will not be deciding, will have the offerings,

537
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:50,880
I can say, they offer, but the thing is that you decide, because you have the, not just

538
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:59,080
IQ, we have IQ, it's artificial, it's AI, it's artificial, we have IQ, we are on minds,

539
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:05,240
and plus we have one thing better, we have each, right?

540
00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:11,380
For example, looking at your data, it can say that, okay, this customer will not pay you

541
00:48:11,380 --> 00:48:14,480
and close all your relationship and sue it.

542
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:20,480
ER can say that, looking at the data can offer you to do that.

543
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,440
Should you do it or not?

544
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:30,120
Does it human looking at the reports offerings from the AI?

545
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:36,960
As we, AI makes it easier because what we did was that before we look at the reports,

546
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:41,440
there are several reports that we look at it, whatever, now we have AI, it's making us

547
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:50,000
live easier, but it's us to do the decision-making and, okay?

548
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:57,320
So you may say that, okay, I know this customer, normally he paid, but somehow he is no problem,

549
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:03,840
I know that the, now these are days, the economy is not good, but he is a trustworthy person,

550
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,800
so I will continue working with it.

551
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,160
So this is a decision-making.

552
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:17,200
Decision-making is not to give, according to the reports, according to AI, to purchase the

553
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,720
low cost thing.

554
00:49:19,720 --> 00:49:26,200
Because you know your vendor, you may have been friends with him for years and you know

555
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:31,840
where he is and you can think of that he could be better in the future.

556
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:42,720
So you have IQ, better EQ, this is what I say, so you have to decide that one.

557
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:46,200
And the next one is Copylidus, a new user interface.

558
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:47,200
Correct.

559
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:51,600
It's a new user interface, not a user.

560
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,960
It's both nine for you.

561
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,520
So you should use it.

562
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,520
We, it's not about the ERP's, right?

563
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:06,880
What I did was that I planned all my ITL vacation on Copylidus, what subject?

564
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,040
You know that there's Copylidus, what subject?

565
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,320
There's Copylidus, what's that?

566
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,360
As an application, whatever.

567
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:19,000
I said that, okay, plan my day and somehow if I could make it, if it's 11 o'clock and

568
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,840
it's not there, I was not being able to do that.

569
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,440
I said that, okay, I'm here, plan again.

570
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:28,560
So it's a user interface that I use, but I make the decision.

571
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:36,040
So again, because I plan to have my meal half an hour, but an hour, so the plan is changed

572
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,200
at budgets change, whatever.

573
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:47,440
So it's an user interface I agree that helps you to do your business.

574
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:48,440
Okay.

575
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:54,400
In the future, we need more human sea in AI.

576
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:55,400
No.

577
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,160
I don't like it.

578
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:00,960
Because it's not human.

579
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:05,040
As I said, it doesn't have an AQ and it will never have.

580
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:14,200
But it may be a little bit have the humanish effects because it learns and it learns from

581
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:22,880
the web of course and we post every hour, you know, emotion, of course, into the value, but

582
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:28,440
I think in the end, human is a human and machine is a machine.

583
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:29,920
It's a better machine.

584
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:37,120
It's better than the calculator and even Excel is better in these days and has a co-pilot

585
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,640
itself, but machine is the machine.

586
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:45,200
So I think this interaction is something that we really need.

587
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:54,760
In the end, we are also humans and even though we are mostly on our computers, we still need

588
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,680
to see some friends and be more human.

589
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,560
I cannot imagine even the AI systems talk with each other.

590
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:08,880
I don't think that we will have that vibe, anything, who knows who knows the future.

591
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:09,880
We can predict.

592
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,680
We can predict the limits as well, but yeah, no.

593
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:14,680
Yeah.

594
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:15,680
Okay.

595
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:19,600
Then let's last part.

596
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,000
Let's do rapid pi around.

597
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:26,480
Before that, let me give you one more code.

598
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:27,840
You will give me three.

599
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,560
I give you one.

600
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:33,560
So this is from Charles Lamanah again.

601
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:41,480
And when they first started this co-pilot thing, we said that a co-pilot, modern naming,

602
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:48,360
whatever he said, you drive, AI is the co-pilot.

603
00:52:48,360 --> 00:53:01,040
So it's very important when you are using your system to know that you are on the wheel,

604
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,640
so we are driving.

605
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:13,360
AI is user interface, which is named as co-pilot, helping us to make decisions like the reports

606
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,160
in the ARP.

607
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:20,320
Even before, if we have paper reports, we were looking at, but we are driving.

608
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:28,080
So don't let a toddler drive your car for you.

609
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,080
Okay.

610
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:30,080
So.

611
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:31,080
Yeah.

612
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:32,080
I drive.

613
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:33,080
I think I live in a drowbooty.

614
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:38,080
It's also really good looking here.

615
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:45,960
But I also see that when we call, we see, and I have work for some companies they make

616
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:53,920
autonomous driving and see this says, I don't know, then more than 12 years.

617
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,920
Next month's absolutely autonomous driving.

618
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:58,640
We have by my car.

619
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:05,360
So that is, yeah, I think that's something people also have think about when they say, oh,

620
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:09,040
I, it's, it's killed my job or something.

621
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:16,160
Here I think if you come to the autonomous driving, I'm not sure when I will trust that.

622
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:17,160
Okay.

623
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:23,360
First, I need to read out the responsible AI documentation from my course of order,

624
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,120
that autonomous, you know, it's risky.

625
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:32,840
Maybe it has less risk because humans may, may make more errors during the driving.

626
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:33,840
I agree.

627
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:38,000
Not over very much against it.

628
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:44,400
Honestly speaking, but you know, when you are changing the, still we have good tools in our

629
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:50,680
cars like when you try to go left and if you didn't just open up your signal, it tries

630
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:52,520
to take you to the right.

631
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:57,800
But in this case, if just something urgent happens into my right, but it happens.

632
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:03,240
It's still not very automated, but it's also, yeah, bring some risks.

633
00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:08,000
It's AI, do so.

634
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:16,320
We cannot assume, you know, when you were watching like back to the future, not only in exactly

635
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:21,920
when was the time in 1985 or 2025, something like that.

636
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:25,440
You know what we were expecting from the future to be?

637
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:30,760
2005 was, I think, 2005.

638
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:36,040
So you were expecting lots of things and I was really looking for it.

639
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:41,240
We are not there, but we have achieved a lot in different cases.

640
00:55:41,240 --> 00:55:48,560
So all that I can see is that I'm not a fortune teller.

641
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:56,760
So I cannot assume if this was succeed and it could be like terminate or not.

642
00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:11,640
But for now, at least for this year, hopefully, let's learn, see and then assume that everything

643
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,880
goes right, but hands on the view.

644
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:22,200
Okay, then we started a rapid fire round.

645
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:29,200
So most underrated business app in Microsoft ecosystem.

646
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:36,840
Oh my God, just let me think.

647
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,360
In Microsoft, I'm not so aware.

648
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,360
I know in Dynamics.

649
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,640
Okay, Dynamics.

650
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,640
In Dynamics, I think it's the financial insights.

651
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:52,160
It's very underrated, most enough in use, which I really like to make a demo for it.

652
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:58,240
Because it's machine learning and it even if I'm not a fortune teller and even if I cannot

653
00:56:58,240 --> 00:57:02,080
foresee the future, it was predictions.

654
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,040
So you can do it.

655
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:15,760
But when I look at, if you are asking from the Microsoft way, also, I think, Office, everybody

656
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,520
knows Excel.

657
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:23,360
Some people really, really know Excel very, very wonderfully, but I think the office is very

658
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:24,360
underrated.

659
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:36,760
So I was in EPPC a couple of days ago and I see that what can co-pilot can do.

660
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:41,080
I can not even imagine thinking on how to do it.

661
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:49,400
So it creates PowerPoints, it creates some agreements, political pilot looking at, whatever,

662
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,160
whatever again.

663
00:57:52,160 --> 00:58:03,240
So I think people know very less that they should know from the office capabilities.

664
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:14,520
They know how a beautiful tool it is with the co-pilot, they will be out, honestly speaking.

665
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:23,200
When you talk to a finance company, what process should they automate?

666
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:28,160
So directly.

667
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:35,920
There is a good agent in Dynamist 365, Finance Reconciliation agent because reconciliation is really

668
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:43,360
pain for the accountants in the end.

669
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:51,800
So I would use the agent of the account reconciliation if I were them.

670
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,800
This is not for new.

671
00:58:53,800 --> 00:59:00,640
I think it was announced last year or the previous, I'm not so sure, but I would use it.

672
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:12,240
But rather than that, not as a finance company, but as a finance person, if I was a manager,

673
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:21,080
first thing that I would do is that, of course, the co-work is just not yet in release, it's

674
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:24,960
in front of me.

675
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:29,920
But I would ask someone to put the front of me in front of me.

676
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:40,240
The first is the co-pilot studio with the Dynamist 365, and I will look out for my company

677
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:44,080
to where we are, what it offers.

678
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:52,960
Of course, we still need people that have expertise on how to manage the companies to give

679
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:54,440
advises from back.

680
00:59:54,440 --> 01:00:03,280
I think co-pilot studio with the agent of FNO is giving us a very valuable information

681
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,080
as well.

682
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:13,640
When Microsoft, tomorrow, showed release one thing in Dynamics 365, what is it?

683
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:16,560
Can I have a question again?

684
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:17,560
Yeah.

685
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:25,240
When you can say to Microsoft, you have to release something in Dynamics financial tomorrow.

686
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,280
What feature or tool should be?

687
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:36,000
I did, and I did not out loud, but anyway, in a record too.

688
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:43,600
What would I, I am not so sure, but what would I ask anymore than co-work right now in

689
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:44,600
Microsoft?

690
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:53,600
I don't know, on the list.

691
01:00:53,600 --> 01:01:02,520
Maybe what I would ask for them is that we have the sidecar functionality in FNO.

692
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,120
Normally how it worked was that like a user guard.

693
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:10,240
We were saying that, okay, how can I create a customer and without looking at the documentation,

694
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,400
it gives us this information.

695
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:20,160
Then after the MCP server, what they did was that the co-pilot sidecar was working also to

696
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,080
give us data from the director.

697
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:29,080
For example, we can say that, okay, give me the five risky customers from the sidecar and

698
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,080
it does give.

699
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:40,440
But they are now at September, disabling this functionality, I think, maybe fully or

700
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:47,200
maybe partially, I am not reading all the documentation, but this is being disabled.

701
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:58,280
What I would like to tell Microsoft is to have something like that similar in Dynamist 365

702
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:00,360
FNO.

703
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:07,080
And the new-in-go-life, your favorite drink is coffee tea or a rest-border?

704
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:13,400
I am living in Germany, but I come from Turkey, so yes, of course.

705
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,640
The team is always tea.

706
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:26,120
I am a tea-border, but now I am drinking a coffee, so but yeah, I am mostly a tea person.

707
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:35,200
When you must describe the future of ERP, what would one word will it be?

708
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:39,080
One word.

709
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,960
I give you two, I'm fair.

710
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:46,440
One word.

711
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,840
One word.

712
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:54,840
One word for ERP.

713
01:02:54,840 --> 01:03:00,640
Oh my god.

714
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,880
It's a very hard question.

715
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:09,440
ERP one word.

716
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,200
Prediction I could say.

717
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:12,200
Very good.

718
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:13,200
Prediction.

719
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:21,000
Why I say, why I say addiction is that you know when the front ERP is, you know, it's just

720
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,760
for reporting purposes.

721
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:32,240
You fill in the data and you take the reports and you use the reports mostly for legal purposes

722
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:37,560
to give to the government because you don't want to give anything apart from the system.

723
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:44,320
Anyway, then it started to see what you have done, okay?

724
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:48,360
At this moment, because what's done is done.

725
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:49,360
It's finished.

726
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:51,000
So you cannot change anything.

727
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:59,320
You just see what has been done and take lessons, what you should not do, but it's more

728
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,000
about the lessons.

729
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:11,920
The one thing where we are going is that ERP systems, Dynamics 365, F-O with this AI is

730
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:26,360
trying to help us to predict, predict the future for us to not to do errors and take actions

731
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:27,360
before we make it.

732
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:34,560
So this is what I would use prediction in this case.

733
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:42,160
What's your final advice for financial leaders, ERP consultants and Microsoft professionals

734
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:46,520
that listen today?

735
01:04:46,520 --> 01:05:05,280
What I would advise is to, before you go live, be sure everything is working and do trainings

736
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:11,680
before you start implementation in between and before go live.

737
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:18,520
Also tell users to test everything before it's too late.

738
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:19,520
Awesome.

739
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:26,320
So yeah, then I will say thank you for this hour of insights.

740
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:27,680
There was a lot of insights.

741
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,960
So I say thank you.

742
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:31,560
This was really great.

743
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,240
Thank you so much.

744
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:34,240
Thank you so much.

745
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,560
And hope we can see each other later.

746
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:37,560
Bye-bye.

747
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:38,560
Bye-bye.

748
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,300
Well, we're in nice place.

749
01:05:40,300 --> 01:05:59,660
[Silence]
