Bond Consulting Services Boasts a Winning Experience at Microsoft Convergence 2014

Eric Klauss and David Gersten couldn’t be more thrilled with the amazing time had at Microsoft Convergence 2014.

While they were excited about the many new announcements surrounding Dynamics CRM, Dynamics GP and Dynamics AX, they were also in social media overdrive, tweeting a combined 100+ tweets about #Conv14. Twitter @mentions and photos of Convergence happenings sprung up continuously on our Twitter feed and a live tweet even popped up on the screen for all to see during a Microsoft Dynamics GP presentation by Errol Schoenfish, the Director of Product Management at Microsoft.

In their own words, Eric Klauss and David Gersten share their experience about the week-long event:

“This was another amazing Convergence event for BCS, without question–the best ever! There were so many fantastic sessions and great learning opportunities! We had a record number of attendees this year and in talking with them, they all were excited and impressed by the event. The recurring theme for them was that Convergence is, “like trying to drink from a firehose.” Thank you to all of our clients who attended or participated via the Virtual Convergence sessions and another big thank you to all of our partners! We look forward to seeing you next year at #Conv15!” – Eric Klauss, Sales & Marketing Manager.

“We learned so much about the upcoming launches of Dynamics AX R3, Dynamics GP 2013 R2, and the spring release of Dynamics CRM 2013. During the trip, we also had the chance to learn more about several new solutions we can add onto Dynamics GP, Dynamics AX, and Dynamics CRM. To close the great week, I had a VIP experience at the “FUNtastic” closing celebration with the headlining band FUN. I won VIP status and a chance to meet the band as a prize for naming the celebration in the Microsoft “Name it. Claim it. contest.

Thank you to the clients who were able to invest the time and money to make the trip too! We hope it was well worth it. Next year’s dates and location were not announced but we sure hope even more of our clients will make the trip.” – David Gersten, Customer Success Manager

We would love to share what we learned about new upcoming solutions and more. Stay connected with us via our mailing list and social media to stay updated on upcoming blogs, webinars, and newsletters. We hope to see you at Convergence 2015!
