See You at the 2012 Partner Event

The Partner Event makes its return for 2012 being held at its old stomping grounds of Fargo, ND. We at Azox are looking forward to attending the event this year from September 9-11. The Partner Event always provides our organization with insightful tips on ways for our sales and marketing teams to learn effectively and better sell and market our business. One of the best takeaways from attending the sessions is learning how other colleagues in the field are utilizing new marketing and sales strategies to help grow their business. Whether it is web marketing, referrals, or blogs and social media there are many workshops to choose from, each bringing something unique and interesting. We look forward to being there this year and networking with new and old colleagues in the Microsoft Dynamics community. View our video testimonial below and learn why we attend The Partner Event.

WPC 2012 Wrap Up

WPC 2012 in Toronto was a blast. A lot of exciting announcements were made by Microsoft including the October 29th release date of Windows 8. In addition, Windows Server 2012 will be released in the first week of August. Microsoft also reiterated the importance of the Microsoft Partner Network (MPN) and based their findings in a study conducted by IDC that mentioned a typical 50-person Microsoft partner organization with between US $5-10M in revenue and 2 – 5 competencies can realize US $320,000 in value directly from MPN benefits. According to Julie Bennani, general manager of the Microsoft Partner Network, there are more than 10,000 gold and 25,000 silver competency partners. Here are some pictures from a session at WPC that went over the current state of MPN. We look forward to attending WPC 2013 next year in familiar Houston, TX (location of Convergence 2012).

Using Social Media to Boost E-Commerce

In our recent post on ERP SoftwareBlog we mention how social media can be used as a channel to communicate with your customers and drive business back to your e-commerce store. With more and more consumers speaking their minds and becoming comfortable expressing their views on channels like FaceBook, Twitter and LinkedIn companies are taking more time making sure their customers' voices are heard.

As Azox we have a number of customers in the retail sector who run our integrated e-commerce solution and have incorporated successful social media marketing strategies that complement their e-commerce business. Download our article on "The Importance of Leveraging Social Media in E-Commerce", and learn how retailers like Del Sol, Cariloha and Dr. Hauschka have used social media to connect with customers and drive business back to their e-commerce sites.
