Senior-led, hands-on Microsoft consulting
Business Central and everything connected to it.
Nearly 30 years in Microsoft ERP, EDI, and integration, including CIO and CTO roles. NAV-to-BC migration, EDI, rescue work, custom development, and IT leadership for mid-market manufacturers, distributors, and logistics companies.
“An integration isn't finished when the API returns success. It's finished when the business transaction is correct.”
Core differentiator
Business expertise + Microsoft platform expertise + software engineering.
Integrated IT is not an MSP, a Business Central reseller, or a software shop. The value is the overlap: engagements led by someone who works across ERP functionality, business processes, SQL and data, software development, APIs and EDI, Azure infrastructure, Microsoft identity and security, and third-party applications, and who stays accountable until the business transaction is correct.
A single Business Central integration typically crosses every one of these layers — layers usually handled by different consultants:
- 01
The ERP business transaction
what the order, payment, or posting has to become in BC
- 02
Business Central APIs & AL
supported endpoints, validation, targeted extensions
- 03
.NET middleware
mapping, business rules, retries, exception handling
- 04
SQL data
extraction, staging, transformation, reconciliation
- 05
Azure hosting
app services, functions, queues, monitoring
- 06
Entra authentication, certificates, networking
app registrations, secrets, firewalls, DNS
- 07
The third-party API
its quirks, limits, and failure modes
We work the entire problem rather than stopping at the boundary of one Microsoft product.
Featured specialty — Business Central & NAV
Make Business Central work with the rest of your business.
Business Central is where most of my work happens: connecting it with ecommerce, EDI, payment systems, warehouses, and custom applications; fixing integrations and implementations that aren't working; and moving businesses from NAV to BC.
EDI & trading-partner integration
EDI that keeps orders flowing and chargebacks down.
17+ years of EDI architecture, implementation, remediation, and production support across Business Central, NAV, Dynamics AX and Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Sage, and Infor Trans4M, for customers, retailers, suppliers, warehouses, 3PLs, carriers, and ecommerce channels.
Standards & transports
Transaction flows
Platforms
Managed EDI service, third-party middleware, ERP-native, or custom-built: I'll recommend what fits your volume and trading partners, including replacing a platform that costs more than it should.
Evidence
Results from consulting engagements and in-house technology leadership.
Consulting engagement (current)
NAV-to-Business Central upgrade with EDI and marketplace integrations
International CPG manufacturer and distributor
Upgrading from Dynamics NAV to Business Central, with customer EDI through TrueCommerce, custom AS2 for vendors, and Amazon, Shopify, and TikTok store integrations built on .NET APIs and AL extensions.
In-house IT/EDI leadership
EDI chargeback and cost reduction
International CPG manufacturer and distributor
Managed a five-person IT/EDI team, third-party providers, and a $2.5MM+ annual IT/EDI budget. Integrated EDI with Sage PFW and Dynamics NAV, and built custom SQL Server, ERP, and EDI validation and automation tools across retail, wholesale, direct-market, fulfillment, and logistics transactions.
→ Customer and vendor chargebacks cut 80% from a peak above $2MM; fixed EDI costs reduced 30% annually.
In-house CTO
Integration platform replacement
Logistics visibility platform
Built and led a team that included four dedicated EDI and integration engineers, and personally developed an internal and customer-facing integration platform in Python, .NET, SQL Server, and modern APIs. It integrated logistics, transportation, customer, billing, POS, ERP, and analytics data and replaced expensive third-party integration platforms.
→ More than $300K in annual costs eliminated; recovered transaction fees representing approximately 30% of gross revenue.
Consulting engagement
Business Central customer portal with document integration
Built a full-stack customer-facing portal surfacing live Business Central data through the BC API, with SharePoint document integration via the Microsoft Graph API.
→ Customers self-serve on live ERP data with zero ERP licenses issued to customers.
Consulting engagement
Business Central POS integration rescue
Multi-location compounding pharmacy
Took over a point-of-sale integration with Business Central after the original implementation failed and brought it to a stable, working state.
→ A working POS-to-BC integration after a failed implementation.
In-house CIO
Global ERP, EDI, ecommerce, and CRM programs
Global manufacturer and distributor
Led ERP, EDI, ecommerce, and BI teams across the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Asia on Dynamics AX and Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations. Technical lead for a Dynamics 365 Commerce B2B order-management program, and led consumer, customer, and helpdesk CRM implementations in the U.S. and EU.
→ Retailer drop-ship and direct-import programs implemented for brick-and-mortar and online retailers.
The broader practice
Senior-led across the Microsoft stack.
The same engineering and business-process depth, applied beyond Business Central. Most engagements involve several of these at once.
We deliver architecture and projects. Day-to-day operations, help desk, and 24/7 monitoring stay with your internal IT team or MSP, and we work alongside them.
Who does the work
Business judgment and hands-on engineering. The same person.
Integrated IT is a principal-led practice. I've spent about 30 years across software development, systems engineering, Microsoft ERP, EDI, and technology leadership, including CIO and CTO roles where I built and led ERP, EDI, integration, ecommerce, and BI teams across the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Asia. I lead every engagement: the assessment, the architecture, and the code that carries the most risk. When a project needs more hands or a narrower specialty, I bring in people I've worked with, under one agreement and my review.
Every engagement has one agreement and one accountable lead. You own the code, repositories, credentials, and documentation we produce.
