Spots Still Available for Upcoming Partner Boot Camp with Progressus Software

Progressus Software, Inc., is hosting a week-long Boot Camp, from October 16-20^th in Findlay, OH, which provides a deep dive into the functionality of Progressus Software, as well as a glimpse into what features are upcoming in the product roadmap. All partners are invited! Days one and two are specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Edition. The last three days provide a technical deep-dive into Progressus Software.

Progressus is next-generation Professional Services Automation and ERP software, mobile-enabled and architected for the Microsoft cloud. The solution adds advanced project accounting and project management to the powerful financial management functionality of Microsoft Dynamics 365 to provide the most advanced business management solution for professional services and project-based businesses.

Progressus Software is the largest app on AppSource for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Edition. Typical solutions include less than 200 code parts, and Progressus leverages over 800 code parts. Find Progressus Software on Microsoft AppSource here.

The boot camp is not intended to be a replacement for Dynamics NAV training from Microsoft, but rather an intense session of what you need to know to be Dynamics NAV and Dynamics 365 Business Edition knowledgeable for implementing Progressus Software at customer sites. If you are a Dynamics NAV Partner, there’s no need to attend the first two days of this Boot Camp as there is a fee for the first portion of the boot camp for non-NAV partners.

Days three – five are an intense and hands-on deep dive into Progressus Software, taking you from an introductory demonstration of the product to full implementation of everything from quotes, to billing to budgets.

Progressus Software hosts a Boot Camp at least once per quarter. These Boot Camps are held at the Progressus Campus in Findlay, Ohio, and are provided at no cost to our partners. We also offer a “Personal Boot Camp” for those Partners who might benefit from having us come to you, rather than sending multiple people to our campus. There is a fee for the Personal Boot Camps, but we will work with you to make that cost comparable to the time and effort you might spend to send those attendees to Findlay. If this interests you, let’s talk.

Register for our upcoming boot camp from October 16-20^th in Findlay, OH!

The Birth of a Dynamics 365 App

This is the first blog in a several part series on the Progressus Software journey to make the jump from great idea to great App in the Microsoft AppSource for Dynamics 365 Financials.  It is a comprehensive and collaborative effort to make it happen, from all aspects of an organization, and we will hear from each in this series of posts.

For the past few quarters, we have been working diligently to get Progressus Software published on Microsoft AppSource.  It has been a complete team effort to make it on AppSource as quickly as possible.  Some have asked, “Why,” when the real question they are asking is “Why is AppSource such a big deal”?   AppSource is key to the success of two products: both Progressus Software AND Dynamics 365 Financials.  Microsoft announced earlier that Dynamics 365 Financials would handle the core financial aspects of a company, and that Microsoft would rely on the marketplace at large to develop and supply the best and most useful “apps” to replicate and extend the specialized functionality that already exists in some of the current Dynamics products.  For Professional Services organizations that rely on the project accounting functionality found in Dynamics SL, Progressus Software is the bridge that will connect them to the power and flexibility of Dynamics 365 Financials.  Dynamics 365 Financials handles the back office, Progressus handles the project accounting functionality.  The picture that comes to mind is one of a coral colony, where an individual piece cannot survive on its own, but as they mature together the branches build on and strengthen each other.  A very similar concept with Microsoft and Dynamics 365 Apps.   Dynamics 365 Financials is the core, with Apps attaching and multiplying the beauty of the whole.  That is why AppSource is such a big deal, and why we have put so much effort into getting it right.

Microsoft recognized the Progressus effort too, and has tapped Progressus Software to help other folks get their “Apps together”.  We shared our experiences and lessons learned along the way with other potential App makers at the International ISV showcase hosted by Microsoft in Lyngby Denmark in March, with the Canadian ISV and Partner teams in May, and we will even host a full session at Directions 2017 on the process and the thought that goes into creating and marketing an App for Dynamics 365.

As I mentioned earlier, we’ll cover some of the building blocks that need to be in place and operational before you can even submit your App for publication, and we’ll hear from our own Progressus team members in each area.  Up next, our own Progressus Development Manager and NAV MVP Mohana Pallapothu will detail the technical side of the App process.

Thanks for following our quest to get Progressus Software into the Microsoft AppSource, and be sure to check out AppSource regularly to see all of the cool and useful applications that can add to your productivity.  Also, be on the lookout for Progressus Software on AppSource very soon!
