Our news and knowledge space where casual wear meets innovative thinking. It is about what matters to us: technology, engineering and the possibilities of digital transformation.
The hoodie has long stood for developer culture: casual and uncomplicated, yet full of complex ideas waiting to be explored. In that spirit, we share a look behind the scenes at NXTGN and knowledge from our work.

Hiding results is too late
A search across all repositories has to determine who is allowed to see what. The easy answer is to search first and filter afterwards. That approach has three gaps, none of which is obvious from the result.
Dataverse storage validation from 9 November 2026: stages, deadlines and options
From 9 November 2026, Microsoft will progressively restrict tenants that exceed their Dataverse capacity. Deadlines, affected tenants, options and a checklist.
In established businesses, the same thing has different names depending on the department, location and generation. What that costs in everyday work, and why a shared language is a leadership responsibility.
All the files are there, the search is running, and still nobody finds the answer. Why full-text search in a business reaches a limit that is not obvious from the results.
When you need a large AI model — and when you do not
The largest general-purpose cloud models are often seen as the quickest route to AI in a business. For questions about the company’s own operations, they do not solve the harder part.
The manufacturer’s documentation is in English, but questions are asked in German. Translating it would be the obvious approach. At NXTGN, we decided against it.
Not every task involving text or data needs AI. A useful case combines a real problem, suitable information, measurable value and manageable error risk.
IoT business case: seven questions before the first sensor.
Connectivity and hardware matter, but they are not the starting point. A viable connected product begins with customers, value, economics and the process improved by device data.
Copilot is not one product. It is a product family.
Microsoft uses the Copilot name for assistants, embedded features and agent platforms. This briefing provides a practical map and identifies the decisions companies actually need to make.
Low code, data platforms and AI change not only tools but responsibilities. Fusion teams combine domain expertise, product ownership and professional engineering.
Company knowledge with AI: knowledge that can work in the process.
A company knowledge system is not another search box with chat. It is a knowledge architecture connecting sources, permissions, retrieval, models, evaluation and real work.
Dynamics, Fabric & Foundry: which platform does what?
Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Dataverse, Fabric, Power BI, Copilot Studio and Foundry form an architecture for operations, data, analytics and agents when responsibilities are explicit.

Behind the scenes
Technology becomes interesting when it is understandable and useful.
From new developments in software and AI to architecture and practical experience with business applications and IoT, the Hoodie Club is a place to learn and think further. We write about what we build, test and encounter in projects, including where a technology is not ready yet.
