| Our Small-medium business focused webinar is a week today and while we’re busy getting ready we wanted to take the time to share with you the content that will be covered in the webinar. Our guest speaker Todd Austin will be presenting this valuable webinar teaching you how you can succeed with:
- Accurate reporting capabilities
- Uncomplicated integrations
- Role specific information
This webinar will focus on the importance of your people and making sure your company is ‘People Ready’.
People gain insights and make decisions. People close deals, invent new products, take care of your money, and find new efficiencies. Companies excel when they empower their people to drive the business forward with the right tools. Strategies, organization and leadership all set the stage for business to succeed. However, to experience the right results you also have to give your people the right tools, information and opportunities – success ultimately comes down to your people. We call a business that fosters a winning environment a “People-Ready Business”.
Join us to learn how to get your business to the next level of success! We look forward to seeing you online on Thursday at 10:00 a.m.!

| We wanted to send a quick update to anyone that has been following our series of event postings.
Originally, we were going to hold 3 different, targeted seminars on “Creating the Intelligent Business” that pertained to Manufacturing, Wholesale Distribution and Retail industries. After doing our research to pinpoint exactly what our audience wanted to hear more about during these seminars, it became clear to us that there was a common pain point among all of these industries: The inability to get at information at the exact moment it is needed- especially when it pertained to inventory. So, armed with this information, we booked a bigger room at Microsoft and will now be hosting a combined, top level event for all three industries!
We hope you can make it! The “Creating an Intelligent Business” seminar will be held, Friday, June 24th at Microsoft Canada in Mississauga from 8:30 to 11:00 a.m. with breakfast to start.
