Bright lights. Big booths. And faster-than-ever Business Central reporting.
Directions North America 2025 wasn’t just another conference; it was the main event. Thousands of Dynamics partners hit the Strip for four days of insights, innovation, and networking that never slept. And Cosmos? We came ready to play.
From the moment the exhibit hall opened, it was clear: this year, reporting solutions were the hot table. Booths buzzed with demos, conversations sparked like neon, and everyone was looking for the same thing: speed and simplicity.
Thankfully, Cosmos showed up with both.
Betting Big on Business Central Reporting
Tuesday afternoon in Sage 3, it wasn’t just another presentation, it was a front-row seat to the fastest route to reporting success.
In our ISV session, Cosmos – The Fastest Route to Reporting Success, we opened with a simple question: how did you get here? Most flew. A few drove. No one walked. And that says a lot about how people make decisions. When time, convenience, and clarity matter, you don’t take the long road; you book the fastest route.
We used this analogy to break down the Business Central reporting journey:
- Walking is like building reports in Power BI. It’s technically possible, and some do it, but it’s slow, exhausting, and complex.
- Driving is native BC reporting. You already own it, but it’s clunky, limited, and full of stops and starts.
- Flying is Cosmos. It gets you where you need to go quickly, easily, and without detours.
That’s why we built Cosmos.
We discussed the roadblocks Business Central users face every day, like fragmented tools, slow performance, and limited formatting, and showed how Cosmos clears the path with a cloud-native, lightning-fast platform made for business users.
What we covered:
- How to navigate the crowded BC reporting landscape
- A first look at our redesigned platform
- 30 exciting product updates that make Cosmos even easier to use (and easier to love)
- Our two priorities for 2025: Product, and Partner Enablement
For partners, this wasn’t just a demo; it was a roadmap to turning Business Central reporting into repeatable, scalable services revenue. Whether you’ve already hitched your wagon to Cosmos or were seeing it for the first time, one thing was clear:
Cosmos is the easy road to winning with Business Central.

The Smart Bet Moving Forward
Directions NA 2025 made it clear that Cosmos isn’t just another reporting tool. It’s the fast, easy, and scalable route your customers actually want.
In our session, we asked: would you walk, drive, or fly to get where you’re going? Everyone laughed at the idea of walking, but that’s exactly what some businesses do with their reporting. Power BI might get you there eventually, but it takes thousands of hours and a whole lot of effort. Native BC reporting? That’s the long road, full of slowdowns and gotchas.
Cosmos? That’s flying. Fast, efficient, and designed to get you from point A to point B with no turbulence.
If you missed us in Vegas, don’t worry. You can still see what 48x faster Business Central reporting looks like. Book a demo and experience reporting at Vegas speed.
