What is in it
Eight terms your next Microsoft partner email may assume you already know.
- Business Central. The small business accounting and operations system.
- Dynamics 365. The umbrella over Microsoft’s business apps.
- Power Platform. The low-code toolset for apps, automations, and dashboards.
- Copilot. The AI assistant built into the tools you already use.
- Microsoft 365. The productivity base layer.
- Power BI. The dashboard tool.
- Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement. The CRM piece.
- TruNova Launchpad. The fast path to Dynamics 365 Business Central for small businesses.
Who this is for
Owners hearing the terms. For small business owners who keep hearing these names in vendor pitches and want plain definitions first.
Operators evaluating tools. For leaders trying to understand what each tool actually does before spending money on any of them.
Teams avoiding buzzwords. For anyone who wants a practical translation of Microsoft’s business application language.
Why we built it
On our recent Modernization without the chaos webinar, the questions in the chat made it clear how many attendees had never heard of Business Central or Power Platform.
That is a problem because the next email they get from a Microsoft partner is going to assume they have. The glossary fills the gap, in operator language, in 10 minutes of reading.
You do not need to become a Microsoft expert. You just need enough fluency to know what is being recommended, who it fits, and what question to ask next.
