Telemetry in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central pertains to the system's capability to gather, send, and evaluate data from its operations. This information is essential for customers, partners, independent software vendors (ISVs), and Microsoft to comprehend usage patterns, system performance, and other crucial metrics. The purpose of telemetry is to enhance system performance, detect and resolve potential issues, and provide insights into system usage. Telemetry plays a vital role in performance monitoring, usage insights, proactive issue resolution, feature development and enhancement, and optimization.
In this episode, we welcome Kennie Pontoppidan, Principal Program Manager at Microsoft. Listen as Kennie discusses the history of Telemetry within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, how to position it to be proactive versus reactive, and also covers common questions about privacy. Kennie also takes a deep dive into what may be in store for the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Performance Toolkit (BCPT)
