Two blog posts for the price of one!<\/p>\n

I’m a bit rubbish at blogging at the moment but AMITPRO meetings always give me plenty of food for though<\/p>\n

As per my last post<\/a> Mike Bryett very kindly travelled up from down south to demonstrate Microsoft Office Accounting 2008<\/a><\/p>\n

This was very useful as taking a look at this was on my list of things to do but it’s always much easier when someone who knows more than you shows you how it all works<\/p>\n

Mike did a great job and I was impressed with the integration with Outlook & BCM and I downloaded it as soon as i got back to see if it will be of any benefit to us (luckily it’s our accounting year end so if we wanted to start using it it’s a good time!)<\/p>\n

I also managed to find the Office Accounting Developer Portal<\/a> which contains the SDK amongst other things so worth looking into as well<\/p>\n

Paul Dadge then showed us how his business has benefited from partnering with Enta<\/a> (which Richard Tubb<\/a> also backed up as he is also a fan)<\/p>\n

I’ve signed up for their partner program so more on this as it develops<\/p>\n

There was then a third, previously unannounced speaker…me!<\/p>\n

I’ve been part of the trial period for the UK Partner Portal Community (I blogged about this here)<\/a> so Vijay asked me Tuesday morning if I’d like to fill the rest of the group in on how that has been going. It’s still in the Alpha stages at the moment but I’ve the group provided some decent feedback to send to Microsoft<\/p>\n

Once again a worthwhile evening spent with fellow SBSers<\/p>\n

So how am i linking this to the SBS pricing announcement<\/a>?<\/p>\n

When we got to the bar Vijay was checking his phone when he noticed the pricing announcement details which was a great place to start the after event chat (Vijay mentions it here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

So what do i think?<\/p>\n

I’m really not sure. Once after the Windows 2008 launch event so I’ll be keeping an eye out for details of that<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
