Join BKD for a complimentary webinar covering the new Dynamics GP 2018 functionality. Through a series of demonstrations, attendees will see the new functionality and learn how it works.
The post What’s New in Dynamics GP 2018? appeared first on Dynamics Insights.
Small businesses are not legally obligated to offer employees many of the customary benefits provided at larger corporations. While holding back benefits might seem like a great way to control costs, it could cost you more in the long run. You may hire the skilled talent you need, but then struggle with employee turnover, especially when competitors offer a better benefits package. But, can you afford to offer employee benefits? What you should really be asking is whether you can afford not to.
There are some benefits every business must offer employees, such as time off to vote or serve on a jury. In most cases, there are obligations associated with workers’ compensation, disability programs and Federal Family and Medical Leave (FMLA). You may not be required to offer health or medical benefits, retirement or life insurance plans or even paid-time-off (PTO). However, not offering these types of benefits could be a mistake.
As suggested in “The Basics of Employee Benefits,” posted on Entrepreneur.com, employees expect certain benefits. And if you offer benefits they value, it could deliver strong returns on your investment. According to research by Aon Consulting, employees are more likely to be productive, more satisfied with their jobs and have a higher commitment to the employer. Better yet, employees may be less likely to miss workdays or quit.
Hiring the right talent or skilled workers contributes to your overall business success. Offering the right benefits could attract stronger candidates and reduce turnover. With the right combination of employees and benefits, you stand to make productivity and profitability gains. Further boost these gains by putting the right business technology in place.
Offering a variety of benefits requires a new level of technology. Not many enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions offer the support you need to capture, report and manage retirement programs. Here are a few solutions you can seamlessly connect to Microsoft Dynamics GP Payroll to streamline benefit management efforts:
When you offer a variety of benefits programs, your employees are likely to be happy and productive. Don’t lose productivity in the payroll department. Put strong technology in place and manage benefit programs accurately and efficiently.

As you grow your Microsoft 365 business, how can you differentiate the value that you provide to customers? Start with the Immersion experience. It’s a powerful interactive user experience that lets you organically guide customers through real-world, everyday business situations using Microsoft Office 365, EMS, and Windows 10. For 2018, we’ve made it easier and more economical to train your team to facilitate Immersion experiences, ask the right questions, and foster conversations and “aha! moments” that showcase the value of the Microsoft platform and your services.
Immersion experiences are end-user sessions for 5-10 participants, typically business decision makers and IT decision makers. Guided by a trained partner facilitator, customers explore and discover hands-on with a virtual "sandbox" environment populated with data, files, personas, and Microsoft solutions. By letting customers experience and explore what is possible at their own pace in a low-pressure environment, the Immersion experience helps customers see the value that a consolidated Microsoft platform can deliver for their business.
Immersion experiences build a relationship of trust with the customer because there’s no sales pressure, long demos, or redundant presentations. The beauty of the Immersion experience is that partners can leverage this tool at any point of the sales cycle, including when:
Learn more about the Immersion experience at http://aka.ms/immersion-partner.
Immersion experience sessions use a trained facilitator to lead attendees through a unique, hands-on experience. Each facilitator must be individually qualified by attending an Immersion facilitator boot camp training. In response to partner feedback, Microsoft has revised the boot camp format for 2018 down to 1.5-days in-person with online pre-work and post-work (from 3.5 days in-person), as well as reduced the cost to $540 per participant (from $950 per participant).
In addition, to encourage on-time reporting of Immersion experience sessions and holding more Immersion experience sessions, facilitators will be receiving verified facilitator badges (to utilize for social selling and partner websites) and have access to additional rewards for reaching certain numbers of customer accounts.
Immersion experience facilitator training happens nationwide and is led by Brainstorm Inc., the training partner for the program.

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 RTM has now been released. In this series of posts, I will be stepping through the installation of Microsoft Dynamics GP and additional products and then will move on to taking a look at the new functionality which has been introduced.
The series index for this series of posts is here and will automatically update as posts go live.
In the last post, I covered the installation of the GP OData Service. However, I am not going to cover the configuration and use of OData in this post, as it is not an area with which I have much experience. However, I know a man who does and I wrote a book with him in 2016:
Mark Polino is one of the three top people for reporting from Microsoft Dynamics GP and, in Chapter 13: Modern Business Intelligence for Microsoft Dynamics GP of the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 Cookbook, Mark covered how to configure and use the GP OData Service.
The full outline of topics covered by Mark is as follows:
I am planning to do some work with Odata in the near future, and am likely to blog about it when I do.
