Jeff McDowell’s ‘Are You Ready for Your Next Audit with Microsoft Dynamics GP?’ Presentation

I expected this to be the most boring presentation of the day. However, the talk by Jeff Mcdowell (from FastPath), was enlightening and entertaining with lots of practical examples.

He had a presentation about meeting audit requirements with Dynamics GP.

In his presentation - Jeff covered

• Challenges with GP and Auditing – reliance on sa, SQL authentication and password administration
• FastPath’s Products – Audit Trail, Assure and Config AD

Mark Polino has covered FastPath on his blog a couple of times last year, with a nice introduction to their products.
