The CAL Connection Newsletter – September 2022

New Look; Same Great Content

Hello CAL colleagues, customers, and friends! We know you haven’t heard from us in a while, but we’re resurrecting the monthly newsletter. You’ll notice that we have Acumatica and Dynamics GP both in a single place now. We’ll be serving up the same great content, just in this newer format.

This issue will contain some articles you may have missed, and we think you’ll want to see.

Dynamics GP Updates

We know that legacy system users don’t feel the love from Microsoft often, but CAL will keep you posted. Be sure to respond to this email and let us know if there are any topics you’d like us to cover!
