Our Story
Erik writes Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Field Guide to help end-users understand the system and ensure they have a great experience starting with Business Central.
With Covid-19 stopping all conferences and community events, Erik turned to YouTube to help educate developers around the world on how to get the most out of AL and Business Central development.
Moving to the cloud meant moving away from all the data management tools that existed for on-premises. With BCCL - Business Central Command Line, Erik created the tool he needed to import and export large amounts of data with new cloud customers, functioning as a bridge between on-premises and the cloud.
The Simple Object Designer started with a question, what if an AL extension could write a new AL extension. From that idea sprung the Simple Object Designer, an app writing all the code so end-users don't have to become developers to customize Business Central
It started a personal challenge to write an AL compiler and interpreter only in AL during the Covid-19 lockdown. After completing the challenge, Erik used this new technology to create a way to handle support tasks faster and easier - his ToolBox.
The channel is now the most-watched Business Central development channel with over 8400 subscribers, providing weekly videos on everything BC development.
