An Interview with Microsoft Executive Pat Fitzhenry, Director Global ISV Recruitment and Enablement
Pat Fitzhenry has been a friend of mine since the late 1980’s. Pat has always had a special place in the hearts of the many of us that have loved, sold, and supported Dynamics SL.

Dynamics GP helps Language Translation Firm Translate its business abroad

Be Thankful Dynamics GP Users
Yesterday was Thanksgiving 2011 here in Minneapolis, MN, USA. More than 97% or our 250 or so Dynamics clients have renewed their plans. We have roughly the same number of Dynamics SL clients as Dynamics GP clients so, as you would guess, most clients renew their plans on both sides.

Most are upgrading because it costs less and they can migrate all of their data-rather than only some of it.So if you are a Dynamics GP client right now-what do you have to be thankful about on this day of thanks?There are many reasons and I want to share them with you.1.
