Innovia Newsletter, May 2016

Greetings!

Hello and welcome to the May Innovia newsletter. What a great month! The weather is warming up, the flowers are blooming, and is so nice to get outside. One way we got outside recently was at the Innovia Customer Conference. It was a wonderful two days with customers, prospective customers, and our product partners. As in past years, the reception was definitely a highlight. The time to visit and catch up with customers and partners without worrying about getting to the next session made for an enjoyable evening. To kick off the main event, Errol Schoenfish from Microsoft gave the keynote and provided some great insight as to the new technology that Microsoft is rolling into their product suite. It was exciting to see all of these investments coming together for Dynamics customers. Seeing how we can "ask Cortana" to show us our top customers or yesterday's sales and the system automagically provides answers was amazing. Clearly Microsoft has put a lot of effort to incorporate all of their solutions into improving the experience for end users. Breakout sessions provided both interesting product discussion and interaction between end users as to how to get more from their Dynamics NAV. We hope that the seeds that were planted during this session bloom into improved use of your Dynamics NAV system! We look forward to seeing you all again next year.

10 Business Events That Could Signal It's Time To Automate Sales Tax
By Avalara
