Is Product Development Slowing Down Your Core Business?
Building, modernizing, and maintaining Business Central apps requires specialized AL expertise and deep familiarity with Microsoft’s shifting validation rules. Most partners face the same roadblocks:
Stuck in Legacy Debt
Converting monolithic C/AL codebases into clean, event-based AL extensions takes months away from client billable work.
Marketplace Rejection Loops
Navigating Microsoft's strict code quality, security, and automated validation requirements leads to costly launch delays.
Developer Capacity Bottlenecks
Finding, training, and retaining senior Business Central developers slows down your product release cycles.
End-to-End Product Engineering for Microsoft Dynamics Partners
From initial code refactoring to ongoing lifecycle support, Cetas acts as your dedicated extension engineering team.
Legacy Add-on Modernization (C/AL to AL)
Transform on-premises NAV add-ons into modular, future-ready Business Central extensions. We refactor code, map events, decouple dependencies, and ensure clean upgrade paths for every major wave release.
Microsoft Marketplace Fast-Track & Validation
Avoid launch rejections. We handle automated test suites, code hygiene, telemetry setup, and technical documentation so your solution passes Microsoft Marketplace validation swiftly.
Dedicated Co-Development & Feature Engineering
Scale your development throughput on demand. Integrate our certified AL engineers into your sprint cycles to build new product features, integrations, and APIs under your direct technical direction.
Continuous Maintenance & Wave Compatibility
Keep your extensions perpetually compatible. We proactively monitor Microsoft major wave releases (Wave 1 & Wave 2), test for breaking changes, and deploy timely updates before your customers are impacted.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical timeline for a Dynamics 365 C/AL to AL extension migration?
Timelines depend on code complexity, table modifications, custom DLL dependencies, and the extent of event refactoring required. A scoped add-on can take a few weeks, while complex monolithic solutions require staged migrations. A firm milestone timeline is provided immediately following the initial code audit.
How do you resolve Microsoft Marketplace technical validation failures?
Technical validation assistance covers automated test package requirements, code signing, App Insights telemetry configuration, and affix/ID range compliance. If Microsoft flags a submission error, the engineering team resolves the code and package issues directly through the resubmission cycle.
Who retains intellectual property (IP) and repository ownership?
You maintain full ownership of all source code, architecture, and IP. All development occurs under strict enterprise NDAs, with code pushed directly into your designated repositories.
How do you handle Business Central major wave updates and breaking changes?
Compatibility testing begins 30 to 60 days before general release against Microsoft Early Access previews. Extensions are verified against base application changes so unexpected breaks don't reach your end-user tenants when Wave 1 or Wave 2 updates deploy.
Can external Business Central developers integrate into our existing sprints?
Yes. Through a co-development model, dedicated AL engineers join your backlog, standups, and Git workflow under the direction of your internal Product Owner or CTO.
What is included in the initial Marketplace Readiness Assessment?
The assessment consists of an automated code review to identify deprecated C/AL patterns, custom dependencies, and Marketplace validation blockers. It delivers an actionable migration roadmap, estimated dev hours, and architecture recommendations with no commitment required.
