Simple Tips for Maintaining Your GP Database

 

If we can sum up in one word how to maintain your database it would be “backup”. We would hate to think what would happen to a company that had a catastrophic equipment failure and lost all of their financial information. That is why it is so important to have an effective plan for maintaining your database. Some plans are very time consuming and difficult which means that they end up being skipped until later or worse yet, completely abandoned.

Maintenance is the critical key to make sure you avert any catastrophes. We recommend you read this whitepaper by Eugene Kogan of the US Fund for UNICEF “5 Simple Tips for Microsoft Dynamics-GP Maintenance”. Do not wait – safeguard your company today.

Convergence2011

 

See 126 Dynamics GP ISV’s at the Convergence 2011 Expo

In the past, many of our clients have found real value in the ISV Expo area of Convergence 2011. There are hundreds of vendors, and 126 focused directly on Dynamics GP. If there are any specific products/features you are looking for, this is the place to be to learn more about the possible solutions.

Note: If you want to attend Convergence just to see the ISV Expo you can get an Expo only pass for just $150!

 A few comments from last year’s attendees: 

“The ISV Expo hall is the best part of Convergence. You can have an interactive dialog with the product developers and decide what tools will fit your needs, there is no better way to get this information.”

Jen, 2010 Convergence Attendee

“We realized how  much more we can do with Dynamics GP now  that we have seen what is out there.”

Andrew, 2010 Convergence Attendee

“If you are looking for a particular solution to work with Dynamics GP, like document management for example, you can go to the expo and see several options, from $1k to $100k. You can see them all at once, instead of spending days researching online.”

George Mackiewicz, CAL Business Solutions
