Conference High Lights

As most of you are aware we had our client conference last week, a great chance to meet and greet some of our clients and catch up on the latest technologies and the Dynamics (GP) road map.

I think that most people would agree that one of the high lights was the sneak preview of some of the Dynamics (GP) version 11 features and the integrations with office 2010.
Our thanks to Tom and Will from Microsoft for these insights and especially to Will for the mind blowing insight into project Gemini.
Imagine being able to filter cut pivot millions of rows in excel full of GP data without any effect on performance, all achieved through a simple add in to excel. It will change the face of BI as we know it. As Will mentioned there are loads of demos of it out there on you tube so here is a link to a few.

Also the end would appear to be in sight for report writer, as we were shown the new word 2010 report templates allowing you to create professional looking reports in word linked to your dynamics Data and with unlimited numbers of templates per report type ( you could have 20 different invoice layouts if you wanted).

All the presentations from the day are available on request from the contact page of our web site
