About this blog and the person behind it.

Practical experience, clear thinking, and honest lessons from Business Central delivery in the real world.

Martin Scheppel

Hey, I’m Martin

I’m a Solution Architect specialising in Dynamics 365 Business Central, based in Perth, Western Australia. I spend my time helping organisations design and deliver solutions that are practical, scalable, and capable of supporting long term growth.

My focus sits at the intersection of architecture, delivery, and automation. I enjoy turning complex requirements into clear solution patterns that work in the real world, not just on a slide deck.

How I use this site

BC by Design is where I share architecture patterns, implementation lessons, extension insights, and practical guidance drawn from delivery work. The goal is simple: publish content that is useful, grounded, and honest.

Some posts are strategic and architecture focused. Others are hands on and implementation driven. You will also see a strong focus on Binary Stream MEM, Australian localisation topics, and automation patterns that make Business Central delivery more effective.
