Do you use Microsoft Dynamics GP or Microsoft Dynamics CRM/365? Are you interested in learning new ways to get the most out of your software investment? If so, Vision 2018 is for you!

For those of you who don't already know, Vision is InterDyn Artis' annual Microsoft Dynamics user conference. Every year, 150+ Dynamics users, 25+ sponsors and the InterDyn Artis team all meet in Charlotte, NC for a day full of learning, networking and growth. Not to toot our own horn, but this conference keeps getting better and better every year, and 2018 will be no different! Here is what to expect:

Although Microsoft, I’m sure, would prefer that you use their Flow product, there are other cross-application workflow engines out there like Zapier. Zapier, specifically, does have a “Dynamics CRM” adapter, but it currently only supports version 8.0 (e.g. prior to the “July 2017” release). Fortunately, Zapier generically supports HTTP GET and POST operations and, since Dynamics 365 has a REST-based web API, we’re in business.
​
The most complicated part is setting up the authentication for what’s called a “Service-to-Service” (or “S2S”) request. For Dynamics 365, this requires adding an App in Azure Active Directory. If you have a Dynamics 365 online tenant, you have an Azure Active Directory, whether you know it or not.

Explaining how to handle data conversion to anyone implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is probably the most difficult concept to explain.  Most people want all of their data from their existing system ready to go in there new system on day one.  While this is a wonderful idea, the actual act of doing that is easier said than done. 

Microsoft Dynamics ​GP 2018 will be discussed in great detail at GPUG Summit this fall in Nashville, TN.  There are several sessions highlighting some of the new features set to be released in the new version of GP, which is scheduled for delivery December 1, 2017.  Who's excited?!
​

Because of this highly anticipated release, Microsoft has already released the minimum system requirements.  The full set of requirements for GP 2018 and GP 2018 Web Components are available on Customer Source, but here is a snippet of the Customer Profile 1 requirements:
