"NextCorp Sends Clients to Convergence 2008"

NextCorp sent six of their clients to this year’s Microsoft Convergence event in Orlando, Florida. Convergence is the premier Microsoft Dynamics event, bringing customers, partners, team members and industry experts together in an environment created for you to discuss solutions, address business needs and establish a true community that can be leveraged throughout the year.

"Convergence is a special event, for all of us. Certainly for those of us at Microsoft, for our partners, for our customers, it represents kind of a unique opportunity to get together, to ask questions, to get answers, to talk to peers, other partners, other customers, to have a chance to hear direction from our product development organization."
-Steve Ballmer on Convergence

Customers were given the opportunity to earn a ticket to Convergence, paid for by NextCorp, by participating in NextCorp's NextPoints program. The NextPoints Program allows customers to earn points by completing a certain number of tasks that add up to 100 points. The first 10 customers that reached 100 points were given a complimentary ticket to Convergence and were then entered into a raffle in which NextCorp gave away $1,000 to the winning customer to be spent towards airfare and hotel expenses.

The winning customers and a group from the NextCorp family traveled to Orlando, Florida where they attended events and sessions of their choice. At the event Microsoft unveiled the latest technology advancements and the improvements to Microsoft Dynamics products. Customers were able to ask questions and learn from Microsoft experts concerning their existing solution. Beverly from AMS Users Group said, "We learned numerous detailed tricks and tips from our sessions, which will allow us to make the right decisions when it comes time to upgrade, as well as making the right product selections, and streamline our daily reporting."

AMS Users Group has now formed a mini-user group as a result of the session they attended on Analytical Accounting.

Several of our customers saw value in meeting companies in their marketplace that are also on Microsoft Dynamics solutions and that share similar challenges.

"While at convergence I found solutions to annoying issues that we had just learned to live with over the last 10 years and I got some great ideas from peer companies with similar marketplace challenges. Attending was well worth it!" said John Ballad, CIO of Dental One, Inc.

Attendees were also invited to several beneficial keynote speeches, including Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO, who spoke about the future of Microsoft Dynamics. His enthusiasm and zest for life gave inspiration to Dynamics Users and Partners.

NextCorp encourages all of our present and future customers to participate in next year's NextPoints program, which will send 10 winning customers to Convergence 2009 in New Orleans, Louisiana. With over 9,600 attendees representing 65 countries, Convergence 2008 continued to develop the Global Microsoft Dynamics community and we hope to see you in 2009.

NextCorp will be announcing the NextPoints 2009 program soon, so stay tuned...
