DESCRIPTION: EVENT OVERVIEW\nMicrosoft Fundraising & Engagement (F&E) will reach end‑of‑support this year on 31 December 2026\, marking a significant shift for nonprofits across Australia\, New Zealand\, United Kingdom and Southeast Asia who still rely on F&E to manage donors\, campaigns\, grants\, events\, and supporter journeys.\nFor many organisations\, Fundraising & Engagement has become deeply embedded\, with years of data\, custom entities\, integrations\, reporting dependencies\, and fundraising workflows built around it.\nTransitioning away from Microsoft Fundraising & Engagement isn’t a simple solution swap.

Larger trading partners and government agencies across Australia and New Zealand are also beginning to ask suppliers whether they can send and receive structured e‑invoices. \nThe reality is that this transition won’t happen overnight. Some suppliers already send structured e‑invoices\, while many will continue sending PDFs or paper. Finance teams need one consistent\, streamlined process that handles all document types without adding extra work for Accounts Payable or approvers. \nThis 45 minute online session\, delivered in partnership with Continia\, will walk through the current state of e‑invoicing in Australia and New Zealand\, demonstrate an end‑to‑end e‑documents process inside Business Central\, and outline clear next steps for organisations at different stages of maturity. \nWhether your organisation is just beginning to explore e‑invoicing or already receiving structured documents\, this session provides a practical\, example led walkthrough of how to adopt e‑documents smoothly and modernise invoice processing. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KEY TAKEAWAYS\n\nUnderstanding What’s Driving the Move to e‑InvoicingWhy organisations across Australia and New Zealand are considering e‑invoicing now\, current market direction\, and how government agencies are adopting Peppol e‑Invoicing.\nKey Risks & Considerations When Moving to e‑DocumentsWhat finance teams need to think through when adopting e‑documents  including data structures\, integrations\, approval workflows\, compliance requirements\, and how the change impacts day‑to‑day invoice processing.\nHow Continia Supports e‑Documents in Business CentralAn overview of Continia’s capabilities\, including three way matching against purchase orders and receipts\, and how the solution enables end‑to‑end processing across e‑invoices\, PDFs\, and scanned documents.\nLive Demonstration: End‑to‑End e‑Documents ScenarioA practical walkthrough showing how e‑invoicing and e‑documents work inside Business Central\, from document capture through to processing and posting.\nGuidance for Organisations at Different Stages of MaturityRecommended next steps\, adoption pathways\, and how businesses can begin their e‑invoicing journey today.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n WHY ATTEND\nYour organisation still relies on manual invoice processing and wants to reduce time spent on approvals and data entry.\n\nYou need clarity on how e‑invoicing works in practice within Business Central.\nYou want to understand how to adopt e‑documents without disrupting existing finance workflows.\nYou’re exploring automation options but want to stay within the Microsoft ecosystem.\nYou’re interested in seeing a live demonstration of Continia e‑Documents inside Business Central.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n EVENT HOSTS\nSpecialists in Business Central\, finance automation\, and e‑invoicing adoption.\n\nRichard Hensby\, Continia\nPhilip Duggan\, Walkerscott\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nDate: Monday\, 17 August 2026\nTime: 45 minutes (Start time 3PM NZST / 1PM AEST)\nLocation: Microsoft Teams (Online Webinar)\n\nFor more information\, please contact us.

Incorrect flow updates\, overwritten configurations\, aggressive environment clean ups\, or large scale Copilot actions can all introduce real operational risk. When something goes wrong\, organisations need the ability to quickly and precisely restore what was affected. \nThis 30 minute online session\, delivered in partnership with AvePoint\, will walk through how organisations are strengthening protection across Dynamics 365\, Power Platform\, Dataverse\, apps\, flows\, solutions\, and emerging Copilot Studio assets.
