Moved my blog to GitHub...
Yesterday, I saw a post on LinkedIn from one of my connections, talking about moving from Wordpress to GitHub. Unfortunately, I have been unable to figure out who, else I wanted to say thanks! And, yes…, I join the apparently 100s of people moving off Wordpress to either Lovable, GitHub or other platforms with the help of AI. I found myself with $85 worth of Fable 5 credits, which had to be used for something right, so why not put...

What a year it has been!
Roughly one year ago, my “lifetime” employment with Microsoft came to an abrupt end after 23 years of service – and what a year it has been… After publishing my layoff announcement on LinkedIn, which had approximately 1.1 mio views, 7200+ likes and 550+ comments, I decided that my biggest asset was probably my name and reputation. So I created my own company, Freddy.DK ApS, with the goal to stay active in the Business Central community as long as it...

All good things come to an end
After 23 engaging years at Microsoft – and having made it through at least 10 rounds of layoffs – my name was pulled from the hat, and I was asked to pack my things and leave.

On the bright side, this gives me the chance to pursue a long-overdue dream: starting my own business and helping customers and partners in areas where I can truly...

20 years…
On May 1st, 2002, I walked through the doors of Navision in the Offices in Vedbæk for the first time. A few days earlier rumors had started that Microsoft was going to acquire Navision, but things weren’t settled yet. The Acquisition was formally announced on May 7th and was finalized on July 11, 2002, so my 20-year anniversary as a Microsoft employee is on July 11th, but for me, May 1st will always be the date where I started working...

Directions EMEA 2019
Update 2021/2/10: Microsoft stopped creating images for Docker in the summer of 2020. We now publish artifacts, which can be used to spin up containers and BcContainerHelper has replaced NavContainerHelper. This blog post reflects the old way of using NAV/BC on Docker and references NavContainerHelper, which is outdated. Vienna is the place to be next week for NAV and Business Central professionals. Directions EMEA 2019 start Wednesday and runs through Friday. Seven This year seven is my lucky number, as I...

What would you do?
Lately, a number of ISVs have asked me this question: If you where me, what would you do? To give the question a little context, we are talking about Solutions, Customizations, Extensions, Modifications or whatever name you use. We are talking On-prem, Hosted, Managed Service, Dynamics 365 for financials. What is the magic bullet? What should the ISV do in order to make sure that you are ready for the future, without wasting a lot of time. The answer can...
