• Strong understanding of Business Central configuration, capabilities, and limitations.
• Ability to interpret extensions, integrations, and ISV add-ons (e.g., LS Retail, Tasklet, Continia, Cosmos).
• High-level knowledge of AL extensions and the modern BC app model (you do NOT need to code, simply understand the concepts).
• Understanding of SaaS architecture, environments, updates, ALM, and Microsoft's roadmap.
