Improve Performance. Strengthen Your Code.
Accelerate Agentic Development. Scale with Confidence.
The OptimAL Performance Initiative, developed and delivered in collaboration with Microsoft, Ciellos and MVPs, is designed to help Partners take control of performance at the source: your code, your practices, and your delivery approach— building the clean, optimized foundation that agentic development demands.
This is not a one-time assessment. It’s a structured program to help you identify issues, optimize real scenarios, build lasting performance maturity across your organization, and accelerate your agentic development capabilities.
Business Central has evolved into a powerful platform with thousands of apps, extensions, and customizations. But with that flexibility comes complexity.
Many of today’s performance challenges stem not from the platform itself, but from:
Outdated coding patterns
Inefficient customizations and PTEs
Lack of performance-focused development practices
The result? Slower systems, frustrated users, and customers blaming the platform instead of the root cause.
The OptimAL Performance Initiative tackles this head-on by enabling Partners to:
Improve code quality and performance practices
Build modern agentic development skills
Deliver faster, more reliable solutions at scale
