WORLDWIDE

Application Language  (AL) is the programming language for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, enabling developers to create, modify, and extend functionalities tailored to business needs. Used within Visual Studio Code, AL allows for the development of data models, business logic, and user interfaces through a structured, object-oriented approach. It facilitates clean, maintainable, and upgradeable customizations, ensuring applications remain robust over time. AL's design focuses on enhancing the adaptability and scalability of Business Central, making it a key tool for custom ERP solutions.

HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS

Testimonials from Satisfied Customers

“We have successfully implemented two major software systems with PDG Consultants. We needed a new financial solution so we could better monitor the profitability of our projects. After that, PDG installed customer relationship management software so our customer service department would be more informed. Our next goal is for the two systems to be integrated.”

Bernie Jacofsky

CEO, DJJ Technologies

“We needed to replace our old custom software with a more reliable financial program. PDG Consultants listened to us and gave us the exact system we needed for our company.”

Debra Berry

President, Berry Industrial Group

“PDG Consultants has been our Microsoft GP Partner for the past 10 years. They made themselves available immediately, including nights and weekends, whenever we had urgent support requests. They recently built a series of Excel Pivot Charts, breaking down revenue and expense for the various parts of our business.  Useful Business Intelligence!”
