First Post

Hello All,

I would like to welcome you to the first post on my Real Life Dynamics User blog. The purpose of this blog is to talk about the trials, tribulations, and absolute joys of being a Microsoft Dynamics GP and Microsoft Dynamics CRM user.

I am an IT / Operations Manager for a small to medium sized company. I know, I know, an IT AND Operations Manager??? Well, in my opinion the lines between IT and Operations have grown ever so blurred. We live in a time where your day to day operations almost completely depend on your IT infrastructure and applications present in your environment.

Our company distributes product in and around the irrigation industry, but, as you might expect, is very similar to any other distribution company in its day to day operations. We are a small company, employing only about 40 people. We are made up of primarily outside sales and service, which makes that daily operations that much more difficult.

In this blog, I plan to discuss how the Microsoft Dynamics platforms help us run our company. I will also be discussing what other products and technologies we use to make our life easier when the Dynamics products fall short (and they do quite a bit...well maybe not quite a bit...but they do fall short). I hope that you enjoy what I have to say, because I promise you that it will always be my HONEST opinion.


I look forward to blogging with you more!

Ron
