Top 10 Fastest Growing Cloud Companies in 2018

Njevity, Inc. is proud to announce that it’s been named one of the Top 10 Fastest Growing Cloud Companies in 2018. A few years ago, Njevity started innovating an easier path to the cloud by creating PowerGP Online which is Dynamics GP reinvented for the cloud. Their journey to rethink how accounting software can be sold, implemented and used has set a fast pace for cloud adoption. “When we first came up with the idea to create an easy, fully automated, portal driven cloud deployment for Dynamics GP that enables our Partners and Customers to get up and running quickly with a modern mid-market Cloud ERP that accounting departments actually love to use, we were not sure if was even possible. But our team of curious and committed cloud architects, Dynamics GP Experts and .NET/DEX Developers engineered a solution that blows my socks off every time I see it!” says [...]

Brooke Webb Smith Memorial Fund

One of the great things about the Dynamics GP Community is our passion. Whether you are in sales, consulting, marketing – it doesn’t matter. We all show the love we have for the product, the community, the customers and each other. Those not in this community have a hard time understanding that we are like family. Many of us spend time together outside of work, we know about each other’s kids, significant others, and many times we share bonds that go even deeper. I personally have a few in the community that understand personal struggles, family issues, personal celebrations, etc. Our Community lost one of these passionate family members. For Njevity, and me personally, it hit hard. She was first and foremost a friend, one that we could share personal struggles and celebrations with, someone that I think of daily. She will forever be someone that I miss. Brooke Webb [...]

When should you upgrade your software?

When should you upgrade your software? In today’s business environment, we are surrounded by software that seems to be constantly changing. As a professional software developer, I spend the majority of my time working on software that I hope people will use as soon as possible. When releasing a new version of a product, I believe that the newest version is the best version for a customer to use. While the most recent version of the software might be technically best, that does not mean that your business should upgrade to it immediately. I have also spent the last few decades of my career in leadership positions within the businesses I have worked for and I know from experience that upgrades should be planned for times when it is appropriate for your business. I believe that any software you use in your business should be on a supported version of the product by [...]

Still can’t decide which CRM solution provides the best value?

Microsoft Dynamics CRM or Salesforce.com? Making the decision on which CRM solution to implement can be challenging. Here is a list of some more key differentiators to help you get past the slick story Salesforce.com tells. Dynamics CRM provides the best value and ROI and continues to dominate the CRM arena with over 2.25 million users worldwide. Here’s how: Power of Choice Salesforce.com only offers an online deployment for their solution while Microsoft Dynamics CRM allows you to choose how you want to deploy.

CRM Blitz Day 1 – Catch the fever!

I think we can agree that Dynamics CRM is one of the most useful and dynamic tools on the market for sales, marketing and customer care. So what can Microsoft possibly do to make CRM better? After sitting through the CRM training blitz this morning about what’s new in the Dynamics CRM 2011 update, I will say it is exciting. Even though the CRM team is using the corny catch phrase, “catch the fever,” after going through the training “I got a fever, and the prescription is more cow bell…I mean CRM.” Ok, so maybe my Saturday Night Live reference does not directly apply but Microsoft has done a lot with this update and I am excited to see the doors that will be opened with the new feature set. There were four key trends that the Microsoft CRM team emphasized about the future of business and how the CRM [...]
