MSDW Podcast: Directions EMEA 2025 Recap

MSDW was a media partner of Directions EMEA 2025, and in addition to covering news and announcements at the event, we also caught up with a few attendees to learn more about their experiences and impressions.

In addition to major announcements like reaching 50,000 customers of Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft pushed hard on their AI vision for the ERP solution. For the Microsoft partner audience, that focus is sending strong signals about not just about how they should advise customers but also how they will prioritize their own business initiatives.

On this podcast episode, we present interviews done on-site at the Poznan Congress Center during Directions EMEA with Marie Wiese, Andrew Good, and Rick McCutcheon. Our guests shared perspective on how Microsoft's vision will impact customers, the push for greater diversity in the channel workforce, and the priorities of partner marketers in a changing landscape.
