Business Central 2026 Wave 2: AI Agents Move from Assistant to Workforce

The biggest theme in Business Central 2026 Wave 2 is the continued evolution of AI agents. Microsoft is moving beyond simple AI-assisted experiences toward autonomous agents capable of performing business processes, completing tasks, and interacting with users on behalf of the organisation.

ERP365 Perspective

Businesses that process high order volumes should start evaluating where administrative effort is consumed today and identify processes suitable for AI automation.

For ERP365 customers, the industry impact is not simply faster data entry; it is the ability to redesign order-to-cash, purchasing, finance and customer service processes around exception management rather than manual processing.

The practical outcome is a business that can absorb growth, seasonal peaks and staff availability constraints without proportionally increasing administration headcount.

Customers can experience shorter processing cycles, more consistent compliance with agreed workflows, better audit visibility, and a stronger foundation for future AI-enabled process improvement.

Achievable Outcomes

 • Absorb growth and seasonal peaks without proportionally increasing administration headcount.

 • Shorten processing cycles by shifting teams from manual processing to exception management.

 • Improve governance, workflow consistency and audit visibility across high-volume business processes.

Key Customer Benefits

• Reduced administration effort

• Faster transaction processing 

• More consistent business processes

• Ability to scale without matching increases in headcount

Practical Examples

Imagine an AI agent that:

 • Receives customer orders by email

• Identifies products automatically

• Creates sales orders

• Requests clarification when information is missing

• Escalates exceptions to staff
