Convergence Report

For those that attended Convergence 2006, your head is probably still spinning from all of the facts, fun and festivities. If you missed Convergence, you will want to mark your calendars for 2007. Every year this conference gets bigger and better and this year was exceptional. Microsoft provided a variety of sessions from hands-on labs to discussions on industry trends. Bill Gates also provided partners and customers with insights into the vision of Microsoft Dynamics and Microsoft's commitment to building "People Ready" software. Be sure to look for the flood of new radio, television and print advertisement communicating this vision.

In the Exhibit Hall was a display of enhancements for Microsoft Dynamics SL and Microsoft Dynamics GP that extend the power of these solutions for your industry. You will be learning more about these products in future SSYH Product Spotlights. However, if you are looking to eliminate time consuming and costly tasks from your business, please contact SSYH. You no longer have to accept these challenges as "necessary evils" within your operation. We would be happy to discuss your needs, identify solutions, and work with our sales engineers to demonstrate the functional and financial value these software tools provide.
