David Meego - Click for blog homepageAs part of my marketing strategy for the last six months, I have been working with Dynamics Connections to promote my products to the Microsoft Dynamics GP partner channel.

GP Power Tools is a very easy product to sell. You just need to show the Benefits Presentation to a customer and they will want it on their system. So the aim is to get the partners to show this short presentation to their customers.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageI have had quite a few requests for Dexterity Training recently. So once I decided to go to Community Summit in Orlando, Florida, USA in October, I planned to run a 5 day Dexterity Fundamentals Bootcamp in the week beforehand. Please register your interest as soon as possible to ensure the course goes ahead.

Dexterity is the development environment that Microsoft Dynamics GP is built on and the best tool to use for any customization to the user interface of the product.

David Meego - Click for blog homepageGP Power Tools incorporates a feedback survey which it will prompt an administrator user 30 days after a new installation or 2 days after an updated installation.

The history behind the survey goes back to the Support Debugging Tool days. The SDT did not have any registration system and downloads were not being tracked, so it was an attempt to get usage data and product feedback to help justify the continued development of the tool.

Anyhow, one of the questions asks for a score between 1 and 9 for Documentation and a number of respondents have given a low score over the years.
