The platform your ERP runs on is being retired, and the transition has already started.

Microsoft is dismantling Lifecycle Services (LCS), the portal that has managed every Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations environment for the past decade. Since February 2026, no new projects can be created in LCS, and its remaining capabilities are being retired stage by stage in favor of the Power Platform Admin Center (PPAC). If you run D365 F&O today, this transition will reach you. A controlled migration takes months of preparation, and organizations that start planning after the wave arrives don't get to choose their window.

This is not an IT portal swap. The move changes fundamentals:

• Your cost model changes. ERP licensing shifts from fixed to consumption-based, driven by the storage your environments actually use.

• Your governance changes. F&O environments move under the Power Platform governance framework, with new admin roles and new accountability.

• Your risk profile changes. Unprepared teams face real operational exposure, from blocked operations to compliance gaps.

• Your opportunities change. PPAC offers capabilities LCS never did, but only teams that migrate deliberately capture them.

In this session, our migration team shares what we've learned moving real customer environments from LCS to PPAC, including what Microsoft's documentation doesn't tell you:

• The timeline as it actually stands. What's already switched off, what retires next, and how much lead time each stage really demands.

• The lockout risk few teams see coming. Under PPAC's capacity model, exceeding storage limits can block deployments and environment restores exactly when you need them most.

• The upside worth planning for. Multiple production environments per tenant (impossible in LCS), full code-and-data environment copies, and up to 90% storage savings on non-production environments.

• Your readiness roadmap. Environments, security roles, integrations, ISV solutions, and the skills your team needs before day one.

Every live attendee receives our LCS-to-PPAC Readiness Checklist, the same assessment framework we use to scope customer migrations, plus open Q&A with our migration architects.

Who should attend: CIOs, IT Directors, ERP program owners, and D365 F&O administrators and architects. CFOs and finance leaders will find the new consumption-based cost model directly relevant. No Power Platform expertise needed; we explain everything in plain language first.
