5. Among the
over 100+ enhancements made to GP2013, the customers are very excited to
finally see improvements of areas most recently excluded from major changes
– like Fixed Assets (I.E. historical reporting, mass undo of Depreciation) and
Purchase Order Processing (PO Prepayments, returns, tolerances). Collins Computing created a
45 minute video showcasing these and other enhancements.
4. Kofi Annon’s closing keynote was very
enlightening. To hear the former General Secretary of the United
Nations say these quotes was certainly thought provoking: “The purpose
of the UN is not to take a man to Heaven, but prevent him from going to Hell”;
“Sometimes you have to shake hands with the devil to save lives”; “I’m rather
ambitious about Africa, not just in the sense of Africa feeding itself, but
also about making Africa essential in food security systems”; and “We’re all in
a cruise ship and if water is entering at one end, we are all at risk”.
3. 95% of our clients own Mekorma’s MICR check
solution. So the two newest features in their product lines: Print checks from several
companies from one screen (previewed in a video here) AND send EFT or
Direct Deposit remittances to the payees automatically from within Microsoft
Dynamics GP was like having GP itself improved! Users are now scheduling their
Mekorma updates for the 10+ enhancements presented in the last 24 months – and
then plan to implement the new cross-company module too!
2. Customers shared their favorite smartlist
reminders with each other. Some have already told me how great it is
to be able to do things immediately upon returning from Convergence – like
apply controls for simple things like “non-batch” posting notifications.
1. By far the best “Easy Button” feature delivered
with GP2013 was the ability to SELECT A PRINTER AFTER hitting the print
button (like all the rest of the office products). Click here to view a Collins Computing
Print preview video. Even though we all knew it would be #1, the
presenters of the Top 10 GP 2013 features session (Errol, Mark & Mariano)
might have been surprised at how loud the applause was for this beloved,
long-awaited necessity.
Of
course we have hundreds of “Take-A-Ways” from Convergence, and we plan to share
them with the appropriate customers we have who missed this year’s event.
If you are in need of a Microsoft Dynamics partner who is willing to share
features you can take advantage of within the products you already own, contact Collins
Computing right now!
