Convergence Day 1

Convergence is under way. The day started with a keynote presentation by Kirill Tatarinov. He had many product demos and all of our customers that attended really seemed to like it.

From there we went to General Sessions. Most of us were in the Dynamics GP sessions. There were a lot of demos. They showed Extender, Action Panes, Web Services, Vendor Portal and 3 views into GP11. It was great to see the Microsoft Word forms for GP11.

Announcements from GP General Session include:
Service Pack 4 for GP 10 will ship in July 2009
GP 11 is targeted for May 2010.

Extender is changing and will allow you to create base forms but the price goes up on August 1, 2009. New CRM adapter in Q3 2009.

They also talked about Management Reporter replacing FRx in Version 11. It will be an option not a requirement. They also showed a lot of metrics and graphs. It was all shown in Sharepoint.

Overall a very good morning. Stay tuned for more
