FOUR the Data. FOUR the People. FOUR the Wins Ahead.   

Blog / General

Cosmos is turning FOUR later this month, and we’re celebrating the way we know best; by helping Business Central teams get faster, easier, more reliable reporting. 

Four years ago, we set out to transform the reporting experience for Business Central Cloud users. Since then, we’ve grown alongside a community of customers, partners, and data-FOURward organizations who care about accuracy, momentum, and making decisions without wrestling spreadsheets into submission.

This month, we’re bringing the celebration to LinkedIn, call it part birthday fiesta, part reporting inspiration, and part giveaway. Expect fun facts, practical tips, and a few reminders of what customers did beFOUR Cosmos reporting.

What’s Launching in January 2026

Over the next four weeks on LinkedIn, we’ll be posting:

  • Quick reporting tips
  • Fun Cosmos stats and milestones 
  • “TransFOURmation” moments we’ve seen across the Business Central ecosystem
  • Behind-the-scenes snapshots from the Cosmos journey

And for added excitement, we’re giving away four space-themed LEGO® sets (one each week). More details below. 

How to Join the Birthday Fun (and Enter The LEGO® Giveaway)

It’s easy to be at the FOURfront of our birthday celebration:

  1. Follow Cosmos on LinkedIn.
  2. Participate in the weekly Thursday birthday posts (comment with your response to that week’s prompt).
  3. That’s it; you’re now entered for that week’s prize.

Each week features a new prompt and a new LEGO® space-themed prize. Winners will be selected at random and announced the following Tuesday on our LinkedIn page. If you win, look for a DM in your LinkedIn inbox to get your shipping details so we know where to send the goods!

The Giveaway consists of four (4) weekly entry periods (each a “Weekly Entry Period”).

Winner announcements (following Tuesdays): January 13, January 20, January 27, and February 3, 2026.

Unless a Thursday giveaway post states otherwise, each Weekly Entry Period begins when the applicable Thursday giveaway post is published and ends the following Monday at 11:59 p.m. Central Time (CT). Sponsor’s computer and records are the official time-keeping device for the Giveaway.

3) How to Enter

During a Weekly Entry Period, an eligible participant must:

  2. Respond in the comments to the applicable weekly Cosmos birthday giveaway post published on Thursday (each Thursday post contains that week’s prompt and prize details).
4) Entry Limits and Entry Conditions

Limit one (1) entry per person per Weekly Entry Period. Multiple comments on the same weekly post by the same person will be treated as a single entry. Use of multiple accounts, automated entry methods, scripts, bots, or any other attempt to manipulate entries or participation is prohibited and may result in disqualification, at Sponsor’s sole discretion.

5) Prizes

Four (4) prizes total: one (1) space-themed LEGO® set per week.

Prize details and the approximate retail value (ARV) of each prize will be disclosed in the applicable Thursday giveaway post. Total ARV is the combined ARV of all prizes awarded. Prizes are non-transferable and no substitution is available except at Sponsor’s discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize (or portion of a prize) with a prize of equal or greater value if a prize becomes unavailable for any reason.

6) Winner Selection, Odds, Notification, and Skill-Testing Question

One (1) potential winner will be selected at random from eligible entries received during each Weekly Entry Period. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during the applicable Weekly Entry Period.

Potential winners will be announced on the following Tuesday on Sponsor’s LinkedIn page and will be contacted via LinkedIn direct message (DM) and/or a reply comment from Sponsor’s official LinkedIn account.

Canadian residents must correctly answer, without assistance and within the time period specified by Sponsor, a mathematical skill-testing question to be declared a winner.

7) Verification, Claiming, and Shipping

Potential winners may be required to confirm eligibility and provide information needed for prize fulfillment, including a shipping address. Sponsor may require a signed declaration of eligibility and liability/publicity release where permitted.

If a potential winner does not respond within forty-eight (48) hours of Sponsor’s first attempt to contact (or such other timeframe stated by Sponsor), is found ineligible, fails to complete any required verification, fails to answer the skill-testing question correctly (if applicable), or cannot accept the prize, the prize may be forfeited and an alternate potential winner may be selected at random from eligible entries for that Weekly Entry Period.

This Giveaway is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with LinkedIn.

11) General Conditions

Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or modify the Giveaway if fraud, technical failures, platform changes, or any other factor impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Giveaway, as determined by Sponsor. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Giveaway, or acting in violation of these Official rules.

Steve Server Avatar

Steve Server, the OnPremasarus, has been around longer than most of today’s IT teams. He started life with PC Plus, survived the rise of Navigator, lived through the Navision years, and even stuck it out when Microsoft rebranded to Dynamics NAV. But when the world moved to Business Central in the cloud, Steve dug in his heels and stayed on-prem—making him a true relic of the server room.

These days, Steve admits he’s prehistoric. He may be dusty, slow, and clunky, but he’s here to remind you that modern businesses can’t afford to act like he does.
