Velosio’s Kopis * Acuitias Acquisitions are another sign the Microsoft Partner channel is Consolidating-What does it mean
Velosio’s Kopis and Acuitas Acquisitions Are Another Sign the Microsoft Partner Channel Is Consolidating Velosio announced two acquisitions on July 1: the commercial, non-government assets of Kopis, an Azure and Business Central firm out of Greenville, South Carolina, and Acuitas, a 20-plus year Dynamics consultancy serving Business Central, Dynamics 365 CRM, and legacy ERP platforms […]
What happens when your Partner of Record gets acquired? Do you need to start all over…….
The Dynamics channel keeps consolidating, and in my opinion, most people are watching the wrong thing. Every few weeks another implementation partner gets bought. Innovia absorbed two industry players earlier this year, while PE money keeps pouring into the channel, an example being Bain into Sikich, roll-up after roll-up. All of the headlines seem to […]
I’m giving my own busywork to AI- am I a lier?
Earlier this week, I argued that you can’t screen your way to AI experience that barely exists yet. Here is the flip side I’m experiencing. I spent the last few months automating big parts of my own recruiting business with AI, and the surprise was this: it made the human side of the job matter […]
Stop screening for AI experience- It doesn’t exist!
Stop screening for AI experience. In 2026, almost nobody actually has it yet! I keep seeing hands-on AI experience climb toward the top of job descriptions for senior NetSuite and Dynamics roles, and I understand the instinct. But I push back on it, and I think the reason matters for anyone hiring in our space […]
What the latest funding rounds in within the Dynamics and NetSuite communities really mean
Two funding rounds crossed my desk this week that I think every Dynamics and NetSuite professional should pay attention to, even though neither company directly touches our stack. Conduct, a two-year-old London startup, raised a $60 million Series A to ingest enterprise system code and configurations, map the business logic underneath, and generate the changes […]
Every RIF this year seems to come with the excuse that it is because of AI..I’m not buying it
Every layoff and RIF this year seems to come with the excuse that it is because of AI. I have placed Dynamics and NetSuite talent for more than twenty-five years, and I do not buy it; increasingly, neither do the people in the Microsoft Dynamics & NetSuite communities, as well as the overall technology space. […]
The ERP Implementation Work Is Getting Automated, and Investors Are Funding It. That Is the Best Argument for Senior Judgment I Have Seen All Year.

AI Did Not Cut Those Jobs. Overhiring Did. And That Changes Who You Should Be Hiring Next.
I have placed Microsoft Dynamics and NetSuite talent for more than twenty-five years, and I have never watched two letters do this much work in a press release. Every workforce reduction this year seems to arrive wrapped in the same explanation, and that explanation is almost always “AI.” As I have verbally been telling candidates […]
Linked IN Post Results – NetSuite & Dynamics 365 Hiring Outlook
LinkedIn Post: Poll Results — NetSuite & D365 Hiring Outlook The votes are in, and they tell a more sobering story than I was hoping for. Last week, I shared that last year was the most difficult revenue year DynamicsFocus has had in the 15 years since I started this business, and I asked the […]
How easy is it now to hack your Instagram account with Meta’s new AI support assistant? Turns out it is pretty easy…..
They Didn’t Hack Meta. They Asked. What That Means for Your D365 and NetSuite Team Last week a group of attackers took over a list of high-profile Instagram accounts. The Obama-era White House handle was on that list. So was the account of a U.S. Space Force chief master sergeant, along with a well-known security […]
