What You Missed at the AI Agent & Copilot Summit 2026: TheTestMart was on the ground in San Diego. Here’s what stood out.
The AI Agent & Copilot Summit, produced by Dynamic Communities, wrapped last week at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines in San Diego. Nearly 1,000 business and technology leaders gathered for three days of sessions on where AI is actually landing inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 environments. TTM was a proud sponsor, and we left with a clear point of view on what this moment means for D365 organizations.
IT is turning business needs into solutions
A consistent theme wasn’t about pure technology. It was about how teams are working together differently, faster. Kenny Mullican, CIO at Paragon Films, said it well: AI is giving technology teams the ability to support the business directly in ways they couldn’t before. Less time in ticket queues, more time solving real problems.
That showed up in the use cases shared. A major US manufacturer had been running traditional ML models to manage complex EDI workflows, but as those processes grew in complexity, they moved to AI, building D365 extensions mapped to specific APIs to pull exactly the data they needed. They’ve since applied that same pattern to fulfillment and transportation. AI isn’t replacing ERP. It’s making ERP more tailored to the specific needs of the business, and more mission-critical as a result.
Reskilling: outputs over prompts
A few things from the reskilling sessions stood out:
- Measure outputs, not prompts. How a team thinks with AI matters more than how often they use it.
- Make it safe to amplify AI use, not hide it. Better results with AI assistance is the outcome worth recognizing relayed, Shawn Dorward, Microsoft MVP and VP SMB Division at sa.global
- As Will Hawkins, CEO of RitewAI, put it: AI is linked to how you think. PhD-level thinking gets PhD-level results.
The natural language ceiling
Natural language is a starting point, not a control plane. That was the undercurrent across a lot of sessions.
Copilot and AI agents work well for surfacing insights and handling lower-stakes workflows. But for revenue recognition, inventory valuation, or compliance-sensitive transactions, “the model interpreted it correctly” isn’t something a CFO signs off on. D365 environments are often too complex and too customized to take AI-generated outputs at face value. Teams are building agents on top of systems that were never designed to be interrogated dynamically, and the complexity compounds.
Data: still the real conversation
If there was one topic that surfaced in nearly every hallway conversation, it was data quality. AI doesn’t fix bad data, it amplifies it. We had a great conversation with Conor Doyle, CEO of DQ Global, who works on exactly this problem. His framing was simple: before you can use your data to inform your deepest customer decisions, you need to sort out all the “Dan’s, dans, Daniels, Danny’s” living inside your system. The models are only as good as what’s underneath them, and most enterprise data isn’t ready for what’s being asked of it.
Takeaway
AI adoption in D365 is accelerating. More customization, more agents, more unstructured data flowing into structured processes. The builds are moving fast. The question every team should be asking is whether their validation strategy is keeping pace. Because the cost of finding out it isn’t keeps getting higher.
Is Your Testing Strategy Ready for What You’re Building?
AI adoption in D365 isn’t slowing down — and neither are the risks of untested outputs. Is your testing strategy ready for what you’re building?

We are excited to announce our new partnership with Elantis Solutions, a trusted Microsoft consultancy serving organizations across North America. For us at TheTestMart, this partnership is about more than two companies working together, it is about addressing a challenge that virtually every organization running Dynamics 365 faces, and building a better answer to it.
The Problem We’re Solving Together
Anyone who has been through a Dynamics 365 implementation knows the pattern. The build goes well. The go-live is a milestone. And then the reality of operating a cloud ERP sets in: mandatory updates, continuous releases, growing customizations, and a testing burden that only gets heavier over time. For most organizations, testing remains one of the most under-resourced parts of the D365 lifecycle — pulling business users away from their work, creating bottlenecks at every update cycle, and introducing risk at the exact moments when stability matters most.
That is the problem this partnership is built to solve.
Why Elantis
Elantis approaches Dynamics 365 the way enterprise platforms should be approached, as long-term systems that evolve alongside the business. Their team works across the full Dynamics 365 ecosystem, from Finance and Operations to Customer Service, Sales, and Field Service, helping organizations design, implement, and optimize their environments.
Beyond implementation, Elantis supports customers across the full lifecycle of their Dynamics 365 platforms, from migrations and modernization to managed services that help organizations continuously improve their environments without the overhead of large internal teams. Their focus is on helping clients get the most value from their D365 investments while keeping systems efficient, scalable, and cost-effective.
Where TheTestMart Fits In
TheTestMart is the Microsoft-recommended test automation solution for Dynamics 365, supporting organizations globally across D365 Finance, Supply Chain Management, Commerce, Sales, and the integrations and customizations built on top of them. Our AI-powered, no-code platform covers the full ERP stack, from core modules through to ISV solutions and third-party integrations, so that every layer of a customer’s environment is validated, not just the out-of-the-box functionality.
Microsoft’s update cadence does not slow down, and neither do the demands on the teams managing these environments. Our platform automates validation so organizations can move through updates, go-lives, and configuration changes with significantly less effort and significantly more confidence — compressing test cycles from weeks to days, with results that are clear and actionable.
A Shared Commitment to the Microsoft Ecosystem
When Elantis brings us into a Dynamics 365 engagement, quality assurance stops being a final hurdle and becomes part of the process from the start. Pre-go-live validation happens automatically. Updates get absorbed without a last-minute scramble. Defects surface early, when they are inexpensive to fix. And as the environment grows, the testing framework grows with it.
Both companies are built around long-term outcomes in the Microsoft space. This partnership is a shared commitment to making Dynamics 365 delivery better for the organizations navigating it every day — whether they are going live for the first time or managing a mature, global ERP environment.
We look forward to sharing joint resources, customer stories, and practical guidance for the D365 community in the months ahead.

Over the last few years, Microsoft has talked extensively about AI in Dynamics 365. Copilot, intelligent insights, automation, and more recently, agentic AI. But for many Finance & Operations customers, the question remains the same: what does this actually mean for my ERP?
With the general availability of the Dynamics 365 ERP Model Context Protocol (MCP), Microsoft has taken a meaningful step toward answering that question.
If MCP is new to you, you are not alone. In many conversations across the Dynamics community, very few people can clearly explain what it is, why Microsoft is introducing it, or why it matters. This article breaks it down in plain terms.
First, What Is the Model Context Protocol?
The Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is an open standard designed to allow AI agents to interact with software systems in a structured, secure, and governed way.
Rather than building custom, one-off integrations for every AI scenario, MCP provides a consistent framework that lets AI models understand what data and actions are available, how to access them, and what rules must be respected along the way.
Anthropic describes MCP as a way to safely connect AI models to tools, data, and services without hardcoding brittle logic or bypassing security controls. The goal is not uncontrolled automation. It is controlled, explainable, and auditable interaction.
This concept becomes especially important in enterprise systems like ERP, where data accuracy, security, and compliance are non-negotiable.
Why Microsoft Is Bringing MCP into Finance & Operations
Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations sits at the core of many organizations. It contains financial data, operational processes, supply chain logic, and business rules that cannot simply be exposed to AI without strong guardrails.
Microsoft’s introduction of the ERP MCP Server is about creating those guardrails.
By implementing MCP directly within Finance & Operations, Microsoft is enabling AI agents to interact with ERP data and business logic through governed interfaces, rather than through screen scraping, custom scripts, or fragile UI-based automation.
This aligns closely with Microsoft’s broader direction across Dynamics 365.
Instead of bolting AI on top of existing systems, Microsoft is investing in platform-level capabilities that make AI a first-class citizen: secure by default, auditable, and aligned with enterprise governance requirements.
Microsoft documents this approach in its guidance on using Model Context Protocol for Finance & Operations applications, outlining how MCP enables secure, compliant access to ERP capabilities without compromising control.
What the MCP Server Actually Enables
At a practical level, the Dynamics 365 ERP MCP Server allows AI agents to do three core things:
Read ERP data, reason over that data, and act on ERP business logic.
It does this while enforcing the same security roles, permissions, and legal entity boundaries that apply to human users.
With the release of Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations version 10.0.47, Microsoft announced the general availability of the MCP Server for production use. This availability also extends to product quality updates for earlier versions.
In this release, Microsoft expanded MCP capabilities beyond existing Form Interaction tools and API Action tools by introducing Data tools.
These Data tools allow standard create, read, update, and delete operations to be performed directly against data entities, rather than working through form-level interactions. The result is significantly improved performance, reliability, and efficiency for agent-driven scenarios.
Collectively, MCP tools now expose over 650,000 operations across the Dynamics 365 ERP suite. This effectively opens access to nearly all ERP data and business logic through governed, supported interfaces.
What MCP Looks Like in Practice
To make this more concrete, it helps to look at how MCP-enabled interactions could show up in everyday scenarios, even outside of ERP.
Seeing the full onboarding picture without system hopping
An onboarding manager is responsible for getting new customers live quickly, but the process spans CRM, billing, operations, and support systems. With an MCP-enabled assistant, they can ask a simple question like, “Where are new customers getting stuck?”
The assistant can review onboarding status across systems, identify common delays, and summarize trends. MCP is what allows that assistant to safely access each system’s data without bypassing permissions or creating custom integrations.
The same concept applies inside Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, where system complexity and governance are especially important.
Faster issue investigation without losing control
A Dynamics 365 administrator is asked why certain vendor invoices are not posting. Using an MCP-enabled assistant, they can review invoice status, workflow history, vendor setup, and posting validations in one place.
The assistant only accesses data the admin is authorized to see, and every action follows existing business rules. The admin gets clarity faster, without custom scripts or manual table checks.
Why This Matters as Dynamics 365 Evolves
Some Finance & Operations customers are already experimenting with AI agents and intelligent automation. Many others are still evaluating what makes sense for their organization, or are waiting for clearer patterns to emerge.
In both cases, MCP is highly relevant.
The introduction of the MCP Server signals where Microsoft is taking Dynamics 365. Future capabilities will increasingly assume that systems can be interacted with programmatically, intelligently, and contextually. MCP provides the foundation that makes this possible in a secure and governed way.
This means:
- Less reliance on fragile UI-based automation
- More consistent and governed access to ERP capabilities
- Better alignment between AI innovation and enterprise control
Whether you are actively building AI agents today or simply preparing for what comes next, MCP shapes how Finance & Operations will be extended and interacted with going forward.
MCP and Microsoft’s Direction for Dynamics 365
MCP fits squarely into Microsoft’s long-term strategy for Dynamics 365.
Rather than treating AI as a feature, Microsoft is treating it as a platform capability, one that spans Finance, Supply Chain, Human Resources, and beyond.
By standardizing how AI agents interact with ERP systems, Microsoft is creating an ecosystem where innovation can happen without sacrificing reliability or governance.
This is a positive signal for customers. It shows investment in the core platform, not just surface-level features.
How TheTestMart Is Thinking About MCP
From TheTestMart’s perspective, MCP is not just an AI story. It is a quality and trust story.
As ERP systems become more intelligent and more autonomous, confidence in outcomes becomes critical. Whether actions are initiated by users, integrations, or AI agents, the expectation is the same: the system must behave correctly.
MCP changes how interactions happen, but it does not remove the need to validate business processes, data integrity, security boundaries, and end-to-end outcomes.
We see MCP as an important step toward a more capable ERP platform, and one that reinforces the need for thoughtful testing as Dynamics 365 continues to evolve.
Plan Ahead for What’s Next
Microsoft’s introduction of the ERP MCP Server is a foundational change, not a one-off feature.
As Finance & Operations continues to move forward under Microsoft’s One Version model, understanding when changes arrive and how they impact your environment becomes increasingly important.

A few members of our leadership team attended the Biz Apps Partner Executive Summit last week. Microsoft shared a clear vision for the future of Dynamics 365 and the role of AI in transforming business applications. Below, Dan Diefendorf, TTM’s CEO, shares his perspective on the key takeaways and how they align with what we’re building at TTM.
Last week’s Biz Apps Partner Executive Summit reaffirmed Microsoft’s commitment to AI and the rapid growth of the Dynamics 365 platform. In our team’s visit with Microsoft, this was underscored as we discussed direct industry scenarios where AI can help create previously unknown efficiencies- especially customers seek deeper and meaningful insights from connected systems into their D365 instances. As partners, we were urged not only to offer AI-powered solutions but to become “customer zero”—adopting tools like M365 Copilot and D365 pre-built agents internally to understand and demonstrate their value. But this is only the starting point and many partners are beyond internal adoption and building foundational solutions for customers real-time.
From my perspective, this resonates deeply with our approach at TTM. We’re seeing the benefits firsthand: by embedding AI and agentic thinking into our products and workflows, we’ve compress our time to ship, turnaround customer feature requests faster, and have full observability across all our tech stack and those we touch. AI is now a catalyst for faster, more secure innovation.
Microsoft also emphasized that Dynamics 365’s growth is accelerating—Business Central’s expansion is “stunning”—and that partners must align with FY26 priorities: copilots on every device, strong M365/D365 execution, frontier AI solutions, and secure cloud migrations. At TTM, we’re leveraging these priorities to help customers modernize their testing processes, gain deeper insights, and ensure end-to-end compliance and security across their business applications.
Embracing AI internally has been a game-changer for us. It’s given our team the confidence to guide customers through their own AI journeys.
But the impact goes beyond technology. Adopting AI has reshaped how we think about hiring and culture. We look for people who are curious about AI, eager to learn, and who value collaboration over silos. It’s not just about recruiting data scientists and engineers. It’s about finding teammates who are comfortable working alongside AI and who see it as a tool to amplify human potential. And while AI can do amazing things, we never lose sight of the people behind the tools. Investing in their training and providing the right support is essential to making AI work responsibly and securely.
In short, the future of business applications is AI-first.
As the Dynamics 365 ecosystem continues to evolve at pace, it’s clear that AI isn’t just an enhancement—it’s becoming the foundation for how modern businesses operate. At TTM, we’re committed to staying at the forefront of this transformation, both by adopting these tools internally and helping our customers unlock their full potential. The insights and momentum from the Biz Apps Summit only strengthen our focus: building smarter, faster, and more resilient solutions for the future of business applications.

Getting Started with Test Automation
With more companies driving cloud transformations and upgrading to modern ERPs like Microsoft Dynamics 365, test automation has become an essential way to ensure critical business processes stay reliable and efficient.
In this guide, we break down what test automation is, why it matters for organizations using modern ERPs like Microsoft Dynamics 365, and how it helps teams move faster and with more confidence.
If you are exploring automation for the first time or want a deeper understanding of how it fits into your organization, you are in the right place. We will show you how moving from manual checks to automated testing reduces risk, saves time, and helps you stay ahead of every update.
What Is Test Automation?
Test automation is a software testing approach where automated tools perform a set of pre-defined tests or actions on an application to quickly verify its functionality before release, minimizing the need for manual testing.
In simple terms, it means using software to test software. Automated tests handle repetitive checks faster and more consistently than manual testing, freeing up your team to focus on higher-value work.
While manual testing is still important for exploratory checks or unique scenarios, automation takes care of the heavy lifting that slows teams down.
Do I Still Need Manual Testing if I Automate My Testing?
Yes. Manual and automated testing work best together. They are complementary, not replacements for each other.
Automated testing is excellent for repetitive, large-scale, and business-critical validations. It ensures your core processes continue to work smoothly after updates, like those frequently pushed by Microsoft Dynamics 365.
However, manual testing remains essential for areas where human judgment, flexibility, and creativity matter most. The insight that people provide when manually exploring workflows or catching subtle usability issues is irreplaceable and critical for a complete quality strategy.
As TheTestMart’s Chief Product and Technical Officer, Matthew Sabath, puts it: “Automation should empower people, not replace them. When humans and automation work together, one person can do the work of many, without losing the critical insight that only people can provide.”
Why Is Test Automation Important?
Updates, new features, and customizations keep your ERP system secure and competitive, but they also introduce risk. Even small changes can impact financial postings, integrations, or supply chain workflows.
Automated testing helps you catch issues early before they disrupt operations or reach your end users. It reduces last-minute surprises and allows you to adopt updates on schedule without compromising stability.
Organizations that invest in automation see faster, more predictable release cycles and fewer production issues. JMP Equipment Company shared in their story that automation helped them adopt Microsoft updates on time and improve team confidence in each deployment.
Automation also strengthens compliance and audit readiness by providing clear, automated evidence that your processes work as intended. It builds trust with IT, business teams, and leadership by proving updates can move forward without putting operations at risk.
What Types of Tests Can Be Automated?
Automated testing covers multiple types of tests to protect every layer of your system:
- Unit tests check that individual areas of an application work correctly on their own.
- Integration tests ensure your application connects and works properly with other systems or external services.
- End-to-end tests confirm that complete, real-world process flows (like order to cash) work as intended from start to finish.
- Performance tests ensure the system stays stable under heavy loads and peak usage.
- Regression tests check that existing features continue to work after changes or updates.
As we discussed in Where to Start With Test Automation in Microsoft D365, starting with high-risk, high-impact processes is the smartest approach.
When identifying strong candidates for automation, focus on these three areas:
Stable and predictable functionalities, which change infrequently and can be reliably automated.
Repetitive and time-consuming tests, which drain resources and are prone to human error.
High-risk and critical business functions, where failures would cause significant operational or financial impact.
Is Test Automation Hard or Expensive to Implement?
Many organizations think automation is too complex or too costly to get started. That perception comes from the early days when automation required heavy coding and specialized skills that only a few IT team members had.
Today, no-code tools and prebuilt test libraries make automation far more accessible and practical for organizations of all sizes.
The initial investment pays off quickly by saving time, reducing the risk that comes with new updates pushed from Microsoft, and avoiding operational disruptions.
At the same time, it is important to recognize that relying on manual testing alone also carries a cost. Not just in time and resources, but in delayed updates, increased errors, and higher long-term risk. As we shared in The Hidden Costs of Manual Testing, these hidden drawbacks often end up being more expensive and disruptive than organizations expect.
Why Automated Testing Matters for Dynamics 365
Microsoft’s One Version model means updates are mandatory and delivered on a set schedule. While organizations can still choose when to take certain updates within a limited window, they have far less flexibility than before and must stay current to remain supported and secure.
You can learn more about staying ahead of the 2025 Microsoft Dynamics 365 updates here.
Even small changes can disrupt critical processes like financial postings, supply chain flows, and integrations if not thoroughly tested. This is why regression testing is not optional. It is a critical requirement with every update.
As Microsoft emphasizes in their official guidance on regression tooling, “You can save time and resources by automating your regression testing.”
Automated testing ensures your core business processes continue to work as expected after each update. It helps you stay on track with Microsoft’s One Version cadence, minimize downtime, and adopt updates without putting your business at risk.
