Convergence 2008 Highlights

Posted on: March 14, 2008 | By: SuperUser Account | Logan Consulting News

As always, Convergence offers a lot of exciting news. There were two important Microsoft CRM announcements.

All Convergence attendees get a 30 day free trial of Microsoft CRM Live
CRM Mobile Express will be available soon, my guess is mid April
The big news with SharePoint centered on integration and business intelligence. As SharePoint experts we knew this, but it was nice to Microsoft discussing it and Convergence attendees definitely seemed interested.

The focus for Microsoft Great Plains (Dynamics GP) was on upgrading. Microsoft has released a number of new versions of Dynamics GP over the last few years and clients have gotten behind. I definitely would encourage everyone to upgrade to GP 10. The two or three version upgrades are difficult. GP 10 also offers some excellent reporting improvements.

I will continue to post more information and insight as it happens.
