    Where Partners Unite: Join Solver at Directions North America 2026

    Where Partners Unite Join Solver at Directions North America 2026

    Directions North America is back for its 21st year, and the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner community is gathering at the Hyatt Regency Orlando from April 27–29, 2026. Solver is proud to join as a Gold Sponsor, with two sessions on the agenda, a booth on the Expo floor, and a team ready to talk about what extended financial planning and analysis looks like on top of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

    Find Us at Booth G8

    Our team will be at Booth G8 across all three days of the Expo Hall. Stop by to see how the xFP&A platform adds a planning, reporting, consolidation, and analysis layer on top of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, giving finance teams a single source of truth without replacing the ERP they already rely on.

    Expo Hall hours across the three days:

    • Monday, April 27: Exhibit Hall opens at 10:45 AM, Welcome Drinks Reception 4:30–7:00 PM
    • Tuesday, April 28: Exhibit Hall open from 10:45 AM, Lunch and Expo Hall 12:00–1:15 PM
    • Wednesday, April 29: Exhibit Hall open 10:30 AM–5:30 PM

    A booth scan enters you to win $150 toward an “Unleash the xFactor in Your Backyard” experience, with 10 options to choose from.

    Two Solver Sessions on the Agenda

    We are presenting two sessions at Directions NA this year. Both go beyond slides and feature live demonstrations built around real planning and analysis scenarios in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC ecosystem.

    Sponsor Session: Accelerate Intelligent Decisions for Your Clients with Solver’s AI-Powered xFP&A

    Monday, April 27 | 3:00–3:30 PM

    This session covers how the platform connects to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and other data sources to give finance teams a single source of truth for planning, reporting, consolidation, and analysis. We will walk through Solver Copilot, including the Help Agent for on-demand answers and the Analysis Agent, which handles anomaly detection, trend identification, root cause analysis, and predictive recommendations. A practical look at how partners can deliver more value beyond the initial implementation.

    Educational Session: Anomalies, Trends, and Answers: AI Analysis for xFP&A

    Wednesday, April 29 | 4:45–5:30 PM
    Session Room: Celebration 14–15

    Dashboards show you what happened. AI tells you why—and what to do next. Learn how AI spots patterns you'd miss, performs root cause analysis on variances, and generates plain-language insights from data consolidated across your entire organization. Whether you're forecasting, budgeting, or analyzing performance, see how AI can help you accelerate intelligent decisions and transform the way your finance team works with data.

    How Quickly Can Your Practice Get a Customer Live?

    That is usually the first question partners ask, and it is a fair one. The QuickStart integration connects directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and gives teams access to a library of configurable industry templates from the Template Marketplace from day one. Planning models, reports, and consolidation workflows are ready to customize using a familiar Excel-based interface, which keeps the learning curve low and adoption high.

    Once teams are live, Solver Copilot brings AI-powered support to your team. The Help Agent answers product and application questions on demand. The Analysis Agent goes further, surfacing trends, flagging anomalies, and generating data-driven recommendations from across the organization. See what Solver Copilot looks like in practice.

    Industry Solutions Across the Verticals You Serve

    Partners working across multiple verticals know that a one-size approach to financial planning rarely works. Solver's Template Marketplace is built around that reality, with ready-to-use templates designed for specific industries so organizations are not starting from a blank page.

    • Nonprofits: Automate budgeting and reporting by programs, grants, and departments, making it easier to track progress and demonstrate impact to stakeholders and board members.
    • Construction: Manage job costs, budgets, and profitability across projects with full visibility into labor, materials, and equipment to keep every project on track.
    • Healthcare: Support planning and reporting across departments, facilities, and service lines with tools built for the complexity of healthcare finance.
    • SaaS: Deliver subscription analytics, revenue growth tracking, and profitability reporting with forecasting built for recurring revenue models.
    • Manufacturing: Get visibility into production performance, inventory levels, and profitability across plants and product lines for smarter operational decisions.
    • Retail: Consolidate performance data across locations and online channels with reporting that gives leadership a clear view of margins and growth.
    • Senior Living: Plan and report across multi-entity structures with tools built for the financial complexity of a growing industry.
    • Hospitality: Manage budgets, track performance metrics, and report across properties for stronger cost control and financial visibility.

    Ready to Connect at Directions NA?

    Every partner we meet at Directions NA has a different mix of verticals, a different client base, and a different stage in their xFP&A journey. If you want a focused conversation about a specific scenario, stop by Booth #G8 or reach out now to set up your dedicated demo. 

    We look forward to seeing you in Orlando.
