Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Ugg Boots, Thick Sweaters, and … Falling Lead Numbers?
September marks the first month of Fall and man, do I love Fall. Pumpkin Spice Lattes, also known as PSLs, are available at the local coffee shops, Ugg Boots are acceptable to start wearing as the chilly weather comes in, and thick sweaters are being stocked in all the trendy clothing shops. We’ve made it through summer and the thick humidity and are now settled back in our offices from our last fling of summer vacations. Many marketing and sales representatives start to think that since summer and vacations are over, their lead generation will soon rise and the end of the year deal closings will be back at it. This isn’t the case though. Logically thinking, summer is the start to what I would consider a downward trend in the market.

WOW! A Dynamics GP multi-company Financial Dashboard
Dynamics GP can deploy some great Excel dashboard’s in GP2015 and Jared Hall created a awesome Financial Dashboard that you can download here. The problem with all of these solutions is that most Dynamics GP environments are multi-company setups making these dashboards not very functional without navigating and opening multiple Excel spreadsheets to view each company’s dashboard.

The Importance of Requirements Gathering for Software Projects
Requirements are an essential part of any software project and the foundation on which all projects should be built. The gathering of and compiling of requirements for a software project is very much a partnership between the user of the software and the developer. Obviously the customer or software user needs to communicate to the developer what they need, but at the same time the developer needs to be able to anticipate needs and ask the right questions during the requirements gathering phase of a project.

Why Did We Miss Those Requirements?
How does your end-user derive true value from the product/service you provide? The end-user doesn’t care too much if the product/server was delivered within budget or on-time. They are most concerned and get the best benefit as long as their requirements have been met in its entirety.

Why should you integrate data into your ERP instead of manual data entry?
The first question to ask is what do you mean by integrate data into your ERP? When I say integrate data into your ERP what I am talking about is taking out the step of manual entry of transactions to loading large batches at once. There are multiple ways to integrate data into your ERP software and you can integrate all types of data.

Troubleshooting Locked Records in Dynamics GP
In this month’s blog, I wanted to address the primary reasons records may be locked in Dynamics GP and various ways to unlock the records. The causes of records being locked in Dynamics GP may happen for a variety of reasons, but the fix is quite similar. Two of the primary reasons records may be locked in Dynamics GP are from batches having issues while being posted and records being edited by a user. The records remain locked until the batch is posted or the user has saved their changes. If something happens during these processes, the lock may not be released and the record could remain locked.

IT for Accountants: What is RDP and why do I need it?
So, its 4pm on Thursday and you’re having an issue with payroll in GP. You’re not sweating it because you know that you have an amazing VAR who is going to get this all straightened out for you. You call in and get your consultant on the phone and they tell you they are going to use RDP to get on your machine and see what the problem is. You sit there confused but not wanting to let them know that you have no idea what’s happening. A million thoughts race through your head… “What’s RDP? Should I have this? Do I need it? Why don’t I know?”
