Innovia Newsletter, July 2016

 , 

For a week every y ear , I get to attend Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference.  This y ear was the first time I ever recall the event being sold out.  Typically, over 15,000 partners attend the conference to learn about the accomplishments of other partners and Microsoft during th e past year and about what the future holds for us as partners .  As a Microsoft Dynamics NAV partner, this year 's event provided us with more exciting news than ever before, which I believe played a role in the event being sold out.  Microsoft announced Dynamics 365, AppSource, Flow , and PowerApps.  All of these products will change the way we do business and how you, our customers , will do business with us in the future.  In this month's newsletter, I wil l dive deeper in to what Dynamics 365 is . In the coming issues, we will  explore details about AppSource, Flow, and PowerApps.  It i s a really exciting time to be a Microsoft Partner, and we believe that there has never been a better time to be a Microsoft customer.
