The Dynamics GP Blogster — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:58:00 GMT

All good things must come to an end, but no one knows how to wrap up things better than the folks at Microsoft. The day had a few good things in store: the closing Keynote with guest speaker and former United Nations Secretary, Kofi Annan; sessions galore; and a mega concert with Matchbox 20. As for me, I had to skip all the keynote, but very excited I will be able to catch up with it on Virtual Convergence , so I really don't feel I have missed anything. Came the afternoon, I was up on stage...(read more)

This week marks the 2013 MVP Global Summit in Bellevue & Redmond, Washington.

Microsoft Dynamics GP MVPs at the MVP Global Summit From left to right: Leslie Vail, Belinda Allen, John Lowther, and Mark Polino My personal take... until the MVP Global Summit begins featuring Dynamics GP content, it will be hard for me to justify making the yearly trip.

The Dynamics GP Blogster — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:05:00 GMT

In the past years, I have written extensively about Microsoft Dynamics GP OLE Notes and the Dexterity OLE Container application, in the hopes of finding a way to extract the Container documents and links (unsuccessfully so far) as a result of several issues I have encountered in the past with customers attempting to migrate their notes to a different server, see: All about the Dexterity OLE Container All About Dexterity OLE Container - Follow Up My good friend David Musgrave has also written a couple...(read more)

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 on Windows Azure: Wrap Up

The Dynamics GP Blogster — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:19:00 GMT

It's been fun trying to get Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Web Client to run on Azure. The bottom line is Windows Azure offers a very compelling deployment case for organizations running their applications (SaaS) and infrastructure (IaaS) in the cloud. While many Azure platform features are still in Preview mode, I can say unequivocally that what's there works very well - too well, indeed. I had a few hiccups and I had to drop and recreate some VMs a few times, but I attribute that to the fact...(read more)

Extracting data from Microsoft Dynamics GP company databases using SQL Server FOR XML and XMLNAMESPACES

The Dynamics GP Blogster — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:01:00 GMT

I truly love what I do. Really! My job takes me just about everywhere around this great country of ours and beyond its borders in the quest of helping clients and partners get the best out of their Microsoft Dynamics GP application and data. In reference to the latter - data - I had been asked recently by a client how they could produce XML formatted data from their Microsoft Dynamics GP databases to be consumed by some web services applications they had developed. Some conditions around this request...(read more)

Microsoft West Coast Customs 67 Mustang

The Dynamics GP Blogster — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 19:38:00 GMT

This is not necessarily a Microsoft Dynamics GP post, but rather a post on how Microsoft is thinking of embedding some of its current Windows 8, Kinnect, and cloud technology into the automotive world. On the other hand, West Coast Customs is one of the top custom cars designer in the world and are pretty known for their Street Customs show on Discovery's TLC channel. Both companies teamed up to produce one of the sickest rides I have ever seen in years. I think you can appreciate the craftmanship...(read more)

Microsoft Dynamics Convergence Houston 2012 is around the corner!

The Dynamics GP Blogster — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 22:28:00 GMT

My blog has been awefully quiet in the past 2 or 3 weeks. The truth is, directing 4 projects, carrying out Dexterity training - en Español for a new client in South America, keeping up with the Partner Online Technical Community forum, and more importantly, preparing for Convergence 2012 in Houston, have certainly kept my plate topped. However, I am extremely enthusiastic about Microsoft Dynamics Convergence 2012 in Houston, starting next weekend. For one, I am reuniting with my sidekick, David Musgrave...(read more)
