At the 11th Annual KTL User Conference, I will be presenting a session on Power BI and Dynamics CRM data. The main goal is to give users an easy way to present information in a timely and simple-to-understand format.

It is almost that time of year again for KTL Solutions to host its annual Mid-Atlantic Technology User Conference, “Empower the User”. This will be our eleventh annual user conference and it will be held on May 19, 2016, at the Microsoft Center in Reston, Virginia.

Here, I will list three of the most important reasons you should attend KTL’s User Conference Training on May 18th.
In the upcoming KTL User Conference 2016, we will have a session on the benefits of moving to CRM Online.

When writing a custom SSRS report for CRM, one of the greatest features is the ability to include pre-filtering in your reports. By adding the CRMAF_ prefix to the alias assigned to the table you are querying, it will pass your selected CRM records as the context for your report. E.g.:

Having attended, but not spoken at the KTL User Conferences of the past, I have a unique perspective on attendee observations.
