Vision 2007 is The TM Group’s 10th annual all-day client event for Microsoft Dynamics

Spotlighting Microsoft executives for an in-depth forum of learning, sharing and relationship building, Vision 2007 is the only regional client event of its kind in the Microsoft Dynamics worldwide partner community. This year, Vision 2007 will be hosted at the VisTaTech Center at Schoolcraft College in Livonia, Michigan on Wednesday, September 12, 2007.

Invaluable speakers and sessions for your entire team

Who will benefit from Vision 2007?  Your entire team – we have valuable information specifically designed for owners and management executives, operations, finance, sales, marketing, customer service, HR/Payroll, and of course, your IT staff. Microsoft Dynamics GP 10, SL 7, and CRM 4 are the most significant technology releases ever.  Everyone can experience Microsoft’s impressive innovations personally at our first-ever Hands-On Computer Lab, highlighting the new enhancements in GP, SL and CRM.  There is no charge for the event*, but the value you will receive is immeasurable.

VisTaTech stands for Vision, Talent, and Technology

The VisTaTech Center opened in 2004 blending architecture, interior design, and technology to create spaces that improve learning and foster interaction.  The vision behind this facility was to create a place where people’s true talents are discovered through the innovative use of technology.  The rooms are saturated with technology from the minute you walk down the dramatic hallway entrance.  The rooms are equipped with IBM PCs, wireless internet, DVD players, and ceiling mounted data projectors and screens; making them perfect for conferences, teleconferences, webinars, training sessions and work meetings, product demonstrations and industry expos. What better place to hold Vision 2007 than one that is dedicated to high-technology focused audiences! 

Enjoy a Full Day of Meeting the Experts and Sharing Ideas with your Peers

Come and meet Jon Pratt, the newly named General Manager of Microsoft Dynamics GP, SL and Retail Management, who will be our keynote presenter. Attendees will learn about Microsoft’s exciting strategies and market leadership vision from Jon, who is responsible for overall business management, product management and marketing. 

Directly following the Keynote, Vision 2007's Gold Sponsors will present a brief overview of their valuable add-on solutions for Microsoft Dynamics GP, SL, and CRM.   Then enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by Schoolcraft College’s award-winning chefs while meeting the experts at Sponsor, Industry and Topic Tables – also a great opportunity to talk with our other clients in your industry.   

Our afternoon kicks off with Future Direction Sessions led by Kevin Magarian, Product Manager for Dynamics GP and back for his 10^th Vision Conference .  Also meet Todd Michael, Manager for Dynamics SL development at Plumbline Software.  These in-depth sessions are an invaluable opportunity for you to interact directly with the development team.  You will have a chance to provide feedback on current features and make suggestions for future functionality in Microsoft’s new releases. Then choose from several concurrent sessions offering important information for executives, finance, operations, sales and marketing, and IT professionals—including Tips and Tricks, Office 2007, SharePoint Services, and CRM.

During the day, be sure to visit our Gold and Silver Sponsor tables, to see demos and talk with some of Microsoft’s very best Independent Software Vendors. (For More Details See Our Agenda)
