Everything Dynamics GP #50 !

In this edition, I recommend checking out two excellent articles by Mark Polino, looking at the last year and this new year. 

• The 11 Biggest Microsoft Dynamics GP Stories of 2011 | MSDynamicsWorld.com
• Six Microsoft Dynamics GP Predictions for 2012 | MSDynamicsWorld.com

Also check out the following post by Errol at the Dynamics GP Blog - Happy New Year with a NEW Statement of Direction

This 50th edition of Everything Dynamics GP has been as elusive as 100th international century of Sachin Tendulkar. Now that I am finally getting this edition out, who knows, Tendulkar might reach his landmark in Perth as well. I hope he does, really, I am getting tired of hearing and reading  about it everywhere.
