Convergence 2011 - Premier Microsoft Dynamics event

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Why attend Convergence?  If you haven’t already seen this, I would like to share what Microsoft has to say about their most widely attended customer conference:

  1. Learn how we can get the most out of our Microsoft Dynamics solution.
    • Learn how to use the features and functionality of the Microsoft Dynamics solution we currently license to improve operational efficiencies and increase employee productivity.
    • Discover how Microsoft Dynamics can help us meet our fiscal responsibilities and compliance obligations.
  2. Network and collaborate with my peers and the product experts from Microsoft.
    • Tap into the strength of the Microsoft Dynamics community and get expert tips and see firsthand how users like us are optimizing their Microsoft Dynamics solutions to solve business problems.
    • Consult with our solution provider and the Microsoft personnel who are directly responsible for developing and supporting our product.
    • Take advantage of networking and learning opportunities outside of conference sessions. For example, in the Community and Learning Center, we can get free technical support, participate in hands-on lab exercises, and meet fellow users and product experts.
  3. Experience the latest solution innovations, new products, and technologies.
    • Get up-to-date on the latest Microsoft products and business technologies such as Office 2010, SharePoint 2010, and SQL Server and learn how these products can enhance our Microsoft Dynamics solution.
  4. Get insights into Microsoft’s corporate direction, and understand future plans for our Microsoft Dynamics solution.
    • Hear directly from key Microsoft Dynamics executive leaders about the broader Microsoft vision and company direction—and how Microsoft Dynamics strategy aligns.
    • Align our business to take best advantage of the insights I gain regarding Microsoft’s direction and solution investments.
  5. Become eligible for up to a 20% discount off when:
    • Purchasing additional users
    • Acquiring additional modules/granules
    • Transitioning to a Licensing Model

Plus, Convergence 2011 Atlanta is cost-effective and easy to attend. Atlanta offers many affordable hotel options, and the event starts on a Sunday so it will take less time from your work week.

Convergence 2010: Should I Bother?

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

My immediate answer to this, every year is always YES and here is why:

  • Networking events are plentiful; where else will you have the opportunity to talk to other businesses very similar to yours, who use GP and find out what works well for them?

But this year especially is a HUGE YES and here is why: (more…)

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Choices.

How we spend our time each day, month, year, is entirely up to each one of us.  While it may seem that we are held captive by outside forces, we all have choices.  If we choose to plan our time rather than react to the demands on our time, we will inevitably be more productive and have more time for the things we enjoy.

If you’re living in the Dynamics GP world the way I am, and you want to plan your time in order to maximize productivity, I suggest you plan now for the following opportunities. (more…)
