GREENSHADESLET US HANDLE THAT
Welcome to the Q2 issue of GPUG® Magazine! The theme for this issue is
professional development. BusinessDictionary.com defines professional
development as the:
“Process of improving and increasing capabilities of staff through
access to education and training opportunities in the workplace, through outside
organization, or through watching others perform the job. Professional development
helps build and maintain morale of staff members, and is thought to attract higher
quality staff to an organization.”
In a nutshell, professional development is about getting better at what we do as well as
increasing what we know. This makes us better employees, leaders, and co-workers. Many
of the skills that we hone and develop carry into our personal lives and make us better
communicators and listeners. It’s a win-win.
And yet, there are only so many hours in a day. How do you balance work goals with time
needed for professional development? Does your employer value professional development
and encourage you to pursue certification? How do you find out what’s available? How does
volunteering fit into professional development?
This issue of GPUG shares how some organizations approach professional development.
Perhaps your organization has an internal system for you to take courses at your own pace. Or
perhaps there’s a very clear career path, and you know the additional certification or skills you
need to be considered for the next step up. Every organization has its own culture to support
the needs of its team.
Another way to grow professionally is by volunteering. GPUG is a great example of
volunteerism at its best. Serving as chapter volunteers, GPUG Summit presenters, magazine
contributors, and webinar presenters are all opportunities to hone organizational, leadership,
writing, and speaking skills.
The following pages are filled with insightful feature articles that focus on Members just
like you. Read on and learn more about effectively managing your day (especially your inbox),
Solution Showcases, chapter happenings, and some of the exciting features of Microsoft
Dynamics GP 2016.
All these areas support professional development and will help you learn new things,
connect with others, and fuel the passion that comes with being part of a great, energized
community like GPUG.

Aaron Back

Meeting other Users and learning how they use Microsoft Dynamics GP. I have
found that being able to network and build relationships within the Microsoft
Dynamics GP community has enabled me to get a better understanding of how
I can better use the software. It also allows me to ask “what do other people
do…” when I am experiencing an issue.

We reached out to a few User Members to find out what they enjoy most about
volunteering for GPUG® activities. Here’s what they had to say.
I love being able to help people and fellow peers! I also enjoy the camaraderie,
collaboration, and learning from each other. I learn so much from the GPUG and
Microsoft conferences; I like the opportunities to share with others. Not everyone
is fortunate to be able to attend conferences. I can bring to my organization, as
well as the local chapter, knowledge, networking opportunities, top webinars, top
tricks, and issue resolutions. It has been a growing and enriching experience!

GPUG® community, we have a relaunched chapter!
The Dallas/Fort Worth chapter, under the leadership of Seth
Grossman, kicked off 2016 with 31 attendees at their official relaunch
meeting in January.
“There was such great energy and excitement about our chapter’s
reinvigoration,” says Seth. “We have about 45 GPUG Members in this
Chapter » One of our four relaunched chapters this year!
(And on that vein…the other relaunchees are: Colorado (Denver), Oregon
(Portland), and California (San Francisco). Welcome back, chapters!)HIGHLIGHTS10 | GPUG Magazine

Chapter Leader of the Quarter
SAMANTHA MEIER Iowa – Des Moines
Accounts Payable Manager
Affiliates Management Company
» That first meeting netted two more people for the chapter’s leadership
team – thanks in advance for your service!
» Two Partner organizations really stepped up for that first meeting
to provide content and rally attendees – thank you to them for their
commitment!
ChapterHIGHLIGHTS
The Iowa – Des Moines chapter is off to a great start, celebrating
with 22 GPUG Members present at their January meeting.
“I really enjoy working and networking with people who I would
normally not get the opportunity to interact with in my day-to-day
business life,” says Samantha Meier, chapter leader. “It’s always fun
to meet new people and see how they handle different situations,
including what tips and tricks they have learned about Microsoft
Dynamics GP that I haven’t yet learned.”
Samantha has the rest of 2016 on the calendar for her chapter: May
18, September 21, and December 15, and the group will alternate
between locations of the Des Moines Microsoft building and
Samantha’s worksite. The topics are still getting nailed down, so be
sure to reach out to Samantha if Iowa – Des Moines is your home
chapter.

Do you ever look at presenters at an event and think, “There is no way I could ever do that.”?
Chances are, the person at the front of the room had the same thought at some point
in his/her career.
While the ultimate goal of GPUG® is to engage individuals in value-added networking and
knowledge sharing, professional development along the way is a helpful, life-long benefit.
Wondering how you can start on that path? GPUG reached out to two of our active leaders, Michelle
Kocher, director of operations for Delta Medical Systems, and Viola Shoell, business systems analyst
at Franklin PUD, to find out how they began their journeys in personal and professional development
through GPUG involvement.
“There’s a group for that?”
Neither Michelle nor Viola had any clue that a User group for Microsoft Dynamics GP existed before
they stumbled on GPUG.
“I learned about GPUG while I was at Convergence in 2009 and immediately saw the benefit in meeting
people and figuring out all I could do on my own,” says Michelle. “My eyes were opened to other Microsoft
Dynamics GP Users, and I really wanted to help out and get involved.”
Viola found out about GPUG from her organization’s Partner, who had suggested that she attend a
webinar for more in-depth information on a couple of topics.
“During a payroll webinar with Terry Heley, somebody asked if there was anything we were doing that
we might like to share with the rest of the group,” remarks Viola. “My answer was the use of customizing
checklists for payroll and having your entire process documented in a checklist.”
It was all down – er, up – hill from there for both.
“It pays off to volunteer.”
From those slightly propped doors came a little bit of service.
For Michelle, seeking out information about field service resulted in becoming the field service expert.
“There wasn’t a lot of conversation about it, and because there wasn’t anybody, I became the resident
expert…and still am,” says Michelle. “I was also involved in getting our chapter going so we could build our
local network.” BECOMING THE
PROFESSIONAL YOU WERE MEANT TO BE
“Beyond that,” Michelle continues, “I continued to dedicate time because I was getting value from the
group. I was able to meet so many people, have conversations, and be invited to special sit-downs – all
things that I didn’t have before GPUG. I really felt like it paid off to volunteer.”
For Viola, the networking was the hook that brought her closer to volunteering.
“There is such an incredible level of experience in this community,” Viola shares. “From beginners
with wonderful unhibited ideas to old-timers who are looking for new ideas because they feel there has
to be a better way. It is wonderful to be with all of those different people who want to share and have a
story.”
The sharing of stories and ideas became a catalyst for Viola to want to make sure the information she was
consuming and sharing was the most current.
“Knowing that I was going to be asked questions by fellow Users made me want to research and find out
if I was doing things in the most efficient manner,” says Viola. “Broadening my knowledge base – as well as
revisiting the things that I feel I have nailed – helps to engrain those concepts in my mind and enables me
to produce a quicker answer when asked.”

“Hey, look what I did!”
In addition to having answers for fellow
Users, Viola found that she was able to
react more quickly in her own career.
“There are always circumstances that
come about, and quite often I’m able to use
what I learn in my own life,” Viola says.
Michelle experienced a similar amount of
growth as she built her finance knowledge
through conversations with accountants
and controllers instead of a traditional
accounting curriculum.
“I could have continued doing my job the
way I did, but with these new experiences
and conversations, I was able to come
back to my boss and show him cooler, new
reports and dashboards,” says Michelle.
“That showed that I could now understand
our operations and data better than anyone
else, enabling me to grow into the position
I’m now in.”
“I also didn’t have a fear of challenging
things we were doing – or not doing,” says
Michelle. “Being able to create something
new and say, ‘Hey, look what I did!’ has
been such a positive experience.”
“It’s made me more
confident.”
That professional development naturally
spilled over into both women’s personal lives.
“I went from being very nervous and
uncomfortable (at the thought of presenting),
and I just don’t feel that now,” says Michelle.
“If you can’t communicate, you can’t grow.
Before I started my GPUG engagement, I
was a customer service rep who managed
Microsoft Dynamics GP. Now I’m the
director of operations. Everybody is an expert
in something, and you’re very likely better at
something than somebody else in the room.
If you are willing to listen to others but also
talk to others, you can gain so much.”
Viola noticed that her organizational
skills improved when she became more
engaged in the community.
“You can’t share on a regular basis as a
presenter without being organized,” Viola
shares. “All of our plates are full, but if
you want to get engaged without the plate
overflowing, you need to become more
organized with your time. In addition to
honing that skill, I’ve realized that I’m more
confident the more I learn.”
“Just jump in.”
Again, you might be thinking, “There is
no way I could ever do that.” Let’s get rid of
that and start small.
“Sign up for a chapter meeting, come
with a list of questions, and bring a co-worker if you’re uncomfortable in a new setting,” says
Michelle. “You’ll know what the agenda is ahead of time, so write down what you want to address
or takeaway. If you put in the effort, you’re going to get something out of it.”
“Fear is a really big thing and is a limiting factor for many people,” continues Michelle. “You
can show up and listen, but if you don’t actually communicate with anyone or challenge yourself,
you’re limiting yourself. Learn how to do the cool things and make things better for yourself and
your organization.”
Viola agrees. “Just jump in. Microsoft Dynamics GP is ever-evolving, and if we can learn to
embrace change rather than fight it, it will be that much more fun and exciting,” she shares.
“Just call into a webinar and listen. Nobody says that you have to talk or ask a question. You’ll be
amazed at how addictive it is. There will be questions answered that you didn’t even know you had,
or were too shy or self-conscious to ask,” Viola says. “Take the time to do it. I promise your time
will be very well-spent.” GPUG

t t&TIPS & TRICKS
How to Bring In Open AP/AR/Inventory in Microsoft Dynamics GP
» Import or manually enter Open Transactions: If the client
doesn’t want to figure out the Sales or Expense account, use a
Suspense or “9999” type account to offset the control account.
» Post in Subledger.
» Post GL batch with GL posting date last date of old system.
» Enter 1 journal entry to backout the balance in the control
account and the offset account(s) used.
I feel this process is better because:
» This will make the Reconcile Tools work better.
» The SmartLists for activity for the control accounts will have
ALL activity versus missing open balance transactions.
» Helps with future reconciling research projects.
In addition: I have been recommending that my Microsoft
Dynamics GP clients enable a setting under: Administration > Setup
> Company > Company > Options to check the box called “Separate
Payment Distributions”.
» This setting only kicks in if AP or AR transactions are paid at the
same time they are entered.
» If transactions are entered and paid without this box checked,
the transaction bypasses the control account (example: for
AP Transactions, the Expense account is Debited and Cash is
Credited).
» This also helps with the reconcile issues. Along with changing
to posting Open Transactions to the GL, this helps ensure that
penny for penny, you can balance by Vendor or Customer ID to
the Master ID in the GL Transactions.
» If you check this box, the distribution will look like what’s below:
It is always good to learn new ways to do simple tasks! GPUG

Sometimes we get stuck in our ways. Over the last 15 years I had one
process to bring in open AP/AR/Inventory in Microsoft Dynamics
GP, but I have found a better way. In the past I would either delete the
journal entries created by the open AP/AR/Inventory transactions
or (rarely) the “Post To GL” Checkbox is unchecked. Then the GL
balances are typically brought in separately. However, this is my new
and improved process to bring in open AP/AR/Inventory:

Professional
Certificate for
Administrators
In today’s work environments, it is often difficult to keep abreast of
the latest administrative releases and requirements for Microsoft
Dynamics GP. The advent of the Microsoft Dynamics GP web
client, the advancement of workflows, the use of Power BI, and
keeping up with User security and year-end procedures can
make a Microsoft Dynamics GP administrator’s head spin. It can also
be very difficult for new administrators to get up to speed quickly so
they can manage a safe and reliable environment. GPUG® Academy’s
Professional Certificate for Administrators can provide both newer
and more experienced administrators an avenue for better realizing
the ins and outs of managing Microsoft Dynamics GP.
According to a recent ASAE study, certificate earners or
credentialed members tend to be much more active in User groups.
Additionally, they are more likely to hold leadership positions, be
leaders in their profession or industry, and participate in User group
activities. That is why GPUG views this program as a certificate of
completion AND contribution.
The Professional Certificate for Administrators (PCAD) enables
Microsoft Dynamics GP professionals to expand their skills, learn
industry best practices, and manage their Microsoft Dynamics GP
deployments in a professional, secure, and optimized way.
The PCAD is a program that provides:
» Ongoing professional and personal development for Microsoft
Dynamics GP professionals looking to better manage Microsoft
Dynamics GP.
» A holistic approach that encompasses not only competence
with the software, but also expertise with supporting business
processes and tools.
» A balanced set of classes around process and technology training.
» A mixture of instructional formats to fit each professional’s
situation.
» A structured approach and opportunity to advance one’s
capabilities.
With the PCAD, you have the opportunity to expand not only
your Microsoft Dynamics GP knowledge, but also your knowledge
of supporting tools, technologies, and processes. You’ll take two core
classes, then choose two more classes from a wide variety of electives,
with training formats to match your schedule – online, in-person,
and/or instructor-led remote classes. To earn this certificate of
completion and contribution, you’ll choose an activity to share your
new knowledge with other Microsoft Dynamics GP Users, enabling
you to contribute to the greater Microsoft Dynamics GP community.
GPUG Academy currently has four professional certificates available:
Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Administrators, and Business
Intelligence Administrators. Visit www.gpug.com/certificates for
current class listings and additional certificate information. GPUG

MICROSOFT DYNAMICS GP
A buzz is building on social media, with the release of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 now
confirmed for May 1, 2016. Let’s investigate what has provoked the enthusiasm and look
at what will be released in May.
The first public glimpse of the new product was in London in a demonstration by Gary
Tronson, engineering manager at Microsoft. In a sneak peek, he revealed the new HTML5
web client for Microsoft Dynamics GP. Those familiar with existing versions of the solution will be aware
that it can already be hosted in a web browser; however, middleware is used to achieve this. A technology
called Silverlight acts as a host for the Microsoft Dynamics GP application, providing the desktop-like
application experience. The use of this middleware acted as a constraint to the platforms that could support
the web version of Microsoft Dynamics GP. Now out goes Silverlight and in comes native HTML5 support
as with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016, forms can render as native HTML5 web pages. The new web client
makes Microsoft Dynamics GP look refreshingly tidy and sharp.
User interface rendering to HTML5 is a very significant advancement as Microsoft can now offer a full Microsoft
Dynamics GP client experience on any device that supports HTML5 browsers. Indeed, that means tablets running
Android, OS X, Linux, and computers with modern browsers can be used for the full use of Microsoft Dynamics
GP, a User experience that feels almost as if it were an installed application. There is more as it also runs in browsers
from many vendors, including Firefox, Chrome, and Edge, so long as it supports HTML5. This feature is the
completion of a staged process through previous versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP web client to achieve this
end goal and puts Microsoft Dynamics GP on equal footing with other browser-based ERP systems.
During the development process of the new web client, it turns out much of the pain in achieving perfect
rendering in HTML5 was with silly little issues. An example of such was one-pixel misalignments between
visual elements on the Microsoft Dynamics GP forms. These were misalignments that had always existed
in previous versions of the traditional Microsoft Dynamics GP client; however, they were revealed when
the forms rendered to HTML5. This resulted in untidy jagged layouts. These misalignments had previously
never been noticed or bothered anyone. The issues were resolved by correcting the pixel accuracy in the
User interface alignments on all of the many form windows in Microsoft Dynamics GP.
The Microsoft Dynamics GP navigation menu moves from its traditional position along the top of
2016story by Tim Wappat, Canford Group, GPUG® User Member
24 | GPUG Magazine
the window in the web client and is now located on the left-hand side gutter of the User interface. The
infamous “hamburger icon”, three horizontal lines resembling a hamburger, now adorns the top of the
menu. It is being used to collapse the Microsoft Dynamics GP navigation in order to provide more room
for interaction, with key information held within the main form workspaces.
As with the existing Microsoft Dynamics GP web client, custom solutions written in Dexterity or
Visual Studio add-ins will be supported. That is, so long as the developers stick to the supported visual
controls and best practices as outlined in the developer documentation for current Microsoft Dynamics
GP versions. A number of solutions from key ISV companies have been tested with the client and found to
work with little or no updates. It is said that some of them looked even better in HTML5 than in the native
client; this will be a relief and welcome news to many Microsoft Dynamics GP ISV developers.
Most functionality such as printing remains unchanged, as functions such as this sit below the
presentation layer of the application and thus are unaffected by changes to the skin of the application. One
final observation is that performance (keyboard responsiveness) is very good in the HTML5 web client. It
is almost as good as a standard desktop client; that is great news for data entry Users.
There is no better time to consider the HTML5 client as it provides a viable, responsive alternative to Terminal
Services, allowing the release of terminal server licenses or perhaps allowing the retirement of terminal service
servers entirely. New controls are offered to administrators to aid in the management of HTML clients in a
multi-tenant install. This will help the growing market for Microsoft Dynamics GP in the cloud.
Some time ago the Microsoft Dynamics GP team moved to an Agile software development methodology,
bringing a faster cadence of software releases. The HTML5 client may be the headline feature for Microsoft
Dynamics GP 2016, but there is so much more packed into this release. Let’s check out the rest, with a
caveat that features are subject to review and change:
Cloud Features
» HTML 5 Browser Support
» Control for Managing HTML Clients
Business Intelligence Features
» All-In-One Document Viewer for Inventory
» All-In-One Document Viewer for Sales
» Export SmartList Numbers
» Export/Import SmartLists
» Creating a SmartList from an Existing Favorite
» OData Support for PowerBI
» PowerBI Charts on GP Role Center
Ease of Use Features
» Remove Inactive Payroll Pay Codes
» Simplify Payroll Posting Setup
» Create Exception Report on Budget Import
» Simplify Analytical Accounting User Access Settings
It is excellent to see that the popular All-In-One Document Viewer will be rolling out to encompass the
other main areas of Microsoft Dynamics GP. The purchasing viewer has been well-received in Microsoft
Dynamics GP 2015 and has a significant impact on the productivity of the end User. The All-In-One
viewers will be the most obvious up-front change Users will encounter after upgrade. Each viewer provides
a holistic view of transactions from the respective modules for purchasing, sales, and inventory.
Power BI gets attention in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016, with charts on the Microsoft Dynamics GP
role center and support for Open Data Protocol (OData). The OData provision will expose data stored in
Microsoft Dynamics GP to Power BI tools and presumably other tool sets capable of consuming OData
sources. The Microsoft Power BI suite is transforming data analytics; the incorporation of OData into
Microsoft Dynamics GP will promote the BI tool sets for use with Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Readers can join in the pre-release excitement prior to the release of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016
by reading the Microsoft Dynamics GP Support and Services blog that will includes a “Feature of the
Week” series, covering one-by-one and in detail, the new features in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016:

t t&TIPS & TRICKS
Favorite Microsoft Excel Formulas - Part 1
Lookup and Reference - Hyperlink
Some out-of-the-box Excel refreshable reports contain “drillbacks”.
(Note: eOne has a tool that allows you to create these drillbacks.) A
drillback is a URL of the inquiry window that displays that record in
Microsoft Dynamics GP. For this link to work, you must be logged
into Microsoft Dynamics GP on the machine on which you are using
this Excel report. In the above window, I have created a column that
displays the Journal Entry Number (Friendly_name). By clicking
on the result on a specific row, the Journal Entry window will open
(based on the “Link_location”) in Microsoft Dynamics GP AND
opens the Journal Entry number for that row.
I would then typically hide both columns used in the hyperlink
formula to make this table easier to use.
Here are some of the formulas I use in Microsoft Excel most
frequently (other than add/sum, subtract, multiply, and divide).
Please note that I currently use Office 365 Excel (the equivalent to
Excel 2013 Professional Plus), and those are the depicted screenshots.
TEXT “mmm”
Frequently I want the result of my formula to display a portion of
the date and display as text (rather than a number formatted as text).
Depending on what I am doing with the data, it is sometimes easier
to have it show as text.
» “mmmm” will display the entire month name (e.g. March, April,
etc.)
» “ddd” will display the day abbreviated (e.g. Mon, Tue, etc.)
» “dddd” will display the entire day name (e.g. Monday, Tuesday,
etc.)
» “y” will display the last two characters of a year in text format
(etc. 16 for 2016 and 17 for 2017)
» “yyyy” will display the year in format using all four characters
(e.g. 2016, 2017 etc.)
28 | GPUG Magazine
Logical - IF
This is probably the formula I use most often with payables and
sales/receivables documents. Since Microsoft Dynamics GP stores all
transactions for the purchasing and sales series as positive documents
and not as a net effect to a specific module (for example, a payment
would show as a negative number since it reduces both payables and
receivables), to have a report in Excel that nets out the module rather
lists documents, we need to make some fields negative.
The IF formula allows us to do that. To make payments appear as
negatives, I first ask Excel: “Is the document type a Payment?” If it is a
payment, I place a “-” sign in front of the amount to make it a negative
amount. If it is not, I simply enter the amount, leaving it positive.
Since both the purchasing and the sales series have three
types of documents that can be negative (payment, returns, and
credit memos), we’ll have to account for all three types of documents.
To do this well, “nest” IF formulas. This means we will place an IF
statement inside another IF statement.
In the previous image, I start an IF statement performing a
“Logical_test” to see if the Document Type is a “Credit Memo” as
I did before. If it is, I make the value a negative amount. If is NOT
a credit memo, rather than entering the amount again, I enter the
entire IF statement, except for the “=” at the beginning that I created
for the “Payment.” You would need to create a nest like this again for
“Returns.” In Excel 2013, you can have up to 64 nested statements in
one formula.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THIS
STATEMENT
This formula is looking at text, so if there are two blank spaces after
the word “Payment” in your Excel table/worksheet, there must be two
blank spaces in the formula. You’ll notice I have several spaces in each
formula. Also, since this is text, it must have quotation marks around
the text. GPUG

What’s New GPUG Website
Public or Member Only WebinarsSomething we’ve heard from the community is you’d like an
easy way to see which webinars are open to everyone (public)
and which ones are only available to paid GPUG Members.
We’ve added a filter on the webinars page that allows filtering
in three categories: All (default view), Public, or Member
Only.
Registrations for You and Your TeamMany of our Member companies have asked to see all the
registration activity happening for their company. This helps
when determining to move from subscriber to paid Member
or when looking at annual renewals. Account administrators
and the primary contact will see a new button in their profile
area – Company Registrations. This gives an all-up view of all
registration activities for your company.
Find Your Add-On ActivitiesWhen you register for a conference, often times there are additional registration activities you can choose (like Pre-Conference Academy classes
prior to GPUG Summit). Previously when you looked at your registration in the My Registrations area of your profile, you would not see those
additional registration activities. Now when you look at your registrations, you can see those details.
Am I Logged In?You may have noticed when registering for an event that you are
sometimes prompted to log in (again), even though you can see
your profile picture in the upper right of the site. We’re releasing
a fix that will address this discrepancy and eliminate the need
for multiple logins.
ON THE
Are We There Yet?We’ve heard (and experienced) some poor performance issues when registering for events on the site – specifically the loading speed. This
release includes fixes to help with the screens loading during the registration process. We will continue to improve this process with additional
fixes in future 2016 releases.
We were thrilled to roll out new features and enhancements to the GPUG® website during Q1. Released on January 26,
we hope these updates have improved your User experience when visiting www.gpug.com.
Keep helping us help you by letting us know your thoughts and feedback about your experiences on www.gpug.com. We are
always looking to improve the content and performance of the site and will continue to share additional updates. GPUG

Q2 2016 | 31
GPUG® reached out to Chad
Sogge, group program manager
of SMB solutions for Microsoft,
to gain insight into the release
of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016,
its anticipated features, and the events his team
is involved in to make sure Users are up to speed
with what’s available.
GPUG: You’re getting close to go-live! What’s
your team up to these days?
Chad Sogge (CS): Right now we’re putting the
finishing touches on the spring release, as well
as writing the readiness materials so we can talk
in great detail about what is new in Microsoft
Dynamics GP 2016.
GPUG: Let’s talk about some of those finishing
touches. What can Users expect from this latest
release of Microsoft Dynamics GP?
CS: There are so many great enhancements. A
few examples are expanding on the All-in-One
functionality to include sales and inventory views.
We’ve enhanced the workflow processes, making
them more intuitive for both regular and escalated
cases. We also enhanced pre-payments to include
payments against tax. There are a number of
features there that Users will find relevant to their
role and tax needs.
One of the biggest features in Microsoft
Dynamics GP 2016 is the brand new web client.
We’ve made one that works with multiple browsers
– Google, Chrome, Safari, etc. – and devices,
including tablet form factors.
That’s very big news for us and makes it an even
more exciting era for Microsoft Dynamics GP.
GPUG: Do you consider the browser and device
innovations driven by technology or Customer
request?
CS: It’s both, partially technology and partially
Customer-driven. Users want to have the mobile
performance and retrieve their data in the office,
but they want to use it on their own device.
And because of that desire and where technology
is today, we can optimize screen real estate based
on the User’s desired task and device. Because
of this flexibility, we’re taking the opportunity to
optimize for the various form factors.
GPUG: Is there a big change to the User interface
between the web client and the on-premises
version?
CS: There’s a slight difference between the two.
More and more Customer organizations are going
to the web client for their Users, so that’s where
we’re spending most of our time.
GPUG: As we talk about spring, it’s notable
that the change from Convergence to Envision
affects your team quite a bit. How does that
event transition change what you do to share
information about this new release?
CS: We’re examining our readiness plans at this
moment, and we definitely want to leverage GPUG to
share information as it’s a great repository of people.

FEATURE OF THE
DAYOne of the best
ways to acclimate
yourself with
the new release
of Microsoft
Dynamics GP
2016 is to keep
up with the
Feature of the Day
blog, published
by the Microsoft
Dynamics GP
team on the
Dynamics
Community
website at
http://1drv.
ms/1RxrUky.
The team will
publish a tip a day
until the product
is released.
32 | GPUG Magazine
We’re excited to see the new event, Amplify, come about for this
May (23-25, in Anaheim, California). That’s an opportunity for Users
to see Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 in action and gain a greater sense
of how it could benefit their organizations. We also, of course, have
GPUG Summit in October, which is a great time for us to connect with
Users.
GPUG: One thing that we really appreciate about having the R&D
involved in GPUG Summit is the ability to see what’s coming as
well as get really in the weeds about functionality.
CS: That’s what we enjoy as well. The R&D sessions are always about
what’s new, and the people who are using or selling the product can
tell you what’s best in today’s solution.
People who attend GPUG Summit want to best leverage what
exists today and head home with tangible benefits, whether that’s
through improving their implementation or an ISV solution that can
help them.
That’s what I really enjoy about that event. We solve today’s issues
and look towards the future, figuring out what people need to do to
help move their business forward.
GPUG: Outside of face-to-face events, what other types of
readiness materials will be available?
CS: We’ll host our Feature of the Day blog where we blog about a
feature each day until the release of the product (see the sidebar).
We’re also looking at doing recorded and live webinars in addition to
our contributions to CustomerSource and the Dynamics Community
website. Many of our MVPs are also publishing great information
that can be quite helpful to a User.
GPUG: Do you see yourselves also becoming more connected to
Customers and Partners through social media, as it becomes
more pervasive in the work scene?
CS: We’ve always prided ourselves on our connection with
Partners and Customers. We have so many more tools to stay
better connected, and it’s evolved the solutions we’re building. Our
program managers have been able to start research with Customers
and follow that through as we design and build the product, and
then as we go to market, we’re able to share what we designed and
built. We’re able to provide a platform that shows Users exactly
what we did and create a dialogue to improve upon that for the next
version.
This has taken our interaction and dialogue to a place that we
always hoped for.
GPUG: What factors should Users look at as they consider an
upgrade?
CS: It’s become so easy and straightforward to move from one
version to the next that it should be seamless. Customers should
ensure they are leveraging the functionality they want to use, and
then work with their Partner for the update. It really shouldn’t take
a lot of extra work.
Being on the web client makes it very natural to use the next
version. Companies should examine what’s available in today’s web
client and gets familiar with how it works now, then it’s a natural
upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 when they’re ready.
GPUG: What will your team focus on after Microsoft Dynamics
GP 2016 releases?
CS: Since we now look to push releases every six months, whether
that’s an “R” release or a new version, we’ve already started work on
the next release.
We continue to use Microsoft Connect submissions to evaluate top
of mind issues for Users in the community and for Partners who are
in conversations with prospective Customers.
It’s one continuous, agile process.
We can solve today’s issues and look toward the future,
figuring out what people need to do to get their business to
where it needs to be.
Q2 2016 | 33
GPUG: Have you been in that six-month release cadence for about
three years now? How has that transition worked out for your team?
CS: It’s made us very responsive to Customer input. We’re operating
in an agile fashion so as feature requests come in, we can triage them
against our planned work and adjust if priorities change. This allows
maximum fluidity in meeting the market demands in a very timely
manner.
GPUG: Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
CS: The value of this community cannot be overstated. The most
successful Customers are the ones that are the most connected, going
to events and having dialogue with colleagues.
Be active in this community. You’ll be able to collaborate with
colleagues who can help you solve a problem, or you may provide
the knowledge to make a difference in somebody else’s business.
That’s the power of community. GPUG
The most successful Customers are the ones that
are the most connected, going to events and having
dialogue with colleagues.

VOLUNTEER
Who I’m following on social media right now…
I should list a few really smart and well-respected
pop icons, but that’s just not the case. To be honest,
I pretty much just follow local restaurants, wineries,
and a few microbreweries. Is that bad? At least you
know who to call if you’re ever in Fort Wayne and
need a good restaurant recommendation.
WITH GPUG’S
Jim Noblitt
Senior Director, IT
MorphoTrust USA, LLC
OF THE QUARTER
On my desk right now…
It’s a messy desk, but I usually know where to find
what I’m looking for. Of course there’s a tablet
computer and three monitors; great for multi-
tasking. Then there’s this old and almost obsolete
gizmo, the telephone. Although it’s been eclipsed by
the computer, it’s still the medium of choice by those
pesky telemarketers, so I try to avoid answering
it. There’s also an array of pictures of my family,
including many of my grandchildren, who are always
there to provide inspiration when needed. Lastly,
there’s an analog clock with the GPUG logo on it,
a gift from my friends at GPUG, reminding me that
there’s always time to lend a hand to this excellent
organization.
My three goals for 2016…
Do good work, play nice, and enjoy life! It seems to
me that doing your best work and being a positive
part of whatever you do ultimately gives one a life
they will enjoy. For 2016, I’ll work harder, contribute
more, and have more fun than ever before.
What I do when I’m not at work…
When I’m not working, I spend quality time with
family and friends. Being blessed with a great family
and close friends, I’m always busy going someplace
interesting or doing something really cool with some
really great people.
The best advice I ever received…
My mom told me that, “anything worth doing is
worth doing well”. If applied to everything in life, not
just work, it can be the foundation to success and
happiness. Whether it’s a technical issue I’m trying to
solve or relating with other people, I try to step back
and ask myself, am I doing this well, am I handling
this right.

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 - Document Attachment
about the inventory item. For sales transactions, attaching any
documentation that is relevant to a sale (e.g. a sales order form or
email communication with the Customer) would be useful for
salespeople to quickly find information about a Customer.
Since there is no limit to how many attachments can be attached to
a card, another great use of Document Attachment would be to attach
forms (e.g. W-4, I-9, direct deposit form, etc.) for new employees to
their cards in Microsoft Dynamics GP. Additionally, this feature can
be utilized with vendors by attaching contracts and any other related
documents.
Setting up Document Attachment in Microsoft Dynamics GP is
fairly basic. Go to Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Company
> Document Attachment Setup. The screen to the left should open.
Check the box entitled “Allow Document Attachments”. After that,
you have several options to toggle and try out. Some of these options
include:
» Choosing a default location to look for attachments. This allows
you to organize all of your Microsoft Dynamics GP attachments
into one folder.
» Deleting the file from the default location after attachment.
This is useful if you don’t have a need to keep a backup of the
attachment or if the default location is for temporary storage.
» Deciding on the maximum file size. If you have limited space on
a hard drive or server, then you may want to consider assigning
a maximum size.
» Allowing attachments to be deleted. You should check this box if
you plan on using Document Attachment as a way to keep track
of historic documents and data.
» Allowing attachments to flow through to documents. This box
should be selected if you want, for example, an image of an
inventory item to be attached to any transaction associated with
that inventory item. GPUG
Jim Bertler is a principal for Logan Consulting. You can reach Jim at
One of the great features in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 is
Document Attachment. Before this update, attaching documents
and images required a three-step process that included scanning the
document, saving it to your hard drive, and attaching it to an OLE
note in a transaction. Now, this process has been streamlined with a
new feature called Document Attachment.
INSTRUCTIONS
Some of the more common areas within Microsoft Dynamics GP
in which this feature can be used include items, sales transactions,
human resources, and vendors. Any document file that is saved locally

Q2 2016 | 43
GPUG: Tell us more about Saratoga
Technologies.
Whitney Dillard (WD): We’ve been in business
since 2001 and were initially a subsidiary of
Saratoga Software located in Cape Town, South
Africa. We have offices in Tennessee and Virginia,
and in our 15 years of business, we have acquired
many different divisions that include networking,
printing, Internet, telecommunications, business
solutions, and copier companies.
Michael Moody (MM): Our business solutions
division is based out of our Tennessee office, and
we provide Microsoft Dynamics GP and Microsoft
Dynamics CRM as well as other solutions such as
Microsoft SharePoint.
WD: Saratoga is also a great place to work. We adapt
very well to change and are always looking for what’s
coming up in the market. After 25 acquisitions, we
are accustomed to adjusting to new Customers and
new employees. The company is built on a solid
foundation of core values, and we pass that along
to our Customers as their trusted business advisor.
GPUG: Is there a story behind the name?
WD: We get asked that a lot, and there are a few
stories – or maybe even rumors – floating around.
The latest one is that the founders spun a globe and
stopped it with their finger. Saratoga was the city
they landed on.
GPUG: That’s one way to make a decision! What
kind of companies do you serve?
MM: Mostly small to mid-sized businesses with
five to 50 employees. The nature of our offerings
makes us a one-stop shop of sorts for these type
of companies. We don’t just support software;
we maintain printers, hardware, servers, and
telecommunications, and we have the ability and
expertise to take care of all their software needs
like an outsourced IT department. With that said,
we work in several areas such as medical groups,
gas utilities, entertainment agencies, restaurant
franchises, and manufacturing.
GPUG: What sets you apart from other
Microsoft Dynamics GP VARs?
WD: We are our own Customer. That is, we run
our business with Microsoft Dynamics GP and
Microsoft Dynamics CRM using web services
along with a number of different third-party
add-ons, including Mekorma, EthoSeries, eOne,
Rockton, and Experlogix. Customizing our own
solution helps us better serve our Customers.
MM: We also know the value of not reinventing
the wheel and the importance of leveraging what
others have created to save our Customers time
and money.
GPUG: There are so many third-party providers.
How do you decide which to use?
MM: We are big fans of The List, found in the
back of GPUG Magazine, and have found those
included there to be ISVs with a good reputation.
We can also see if they’re certified for Microsoft
Dynamics GP.
WD: Yes, we use The List a lot and leverage that to
evaluate providers.
GPUG: Do you create customized solutions
in addition to leveraging outside third-party
providers?
MM: Yes, we’ve developed a web app known as
MobileTech for field service providers to use
on service calls. Users can see and enter notes
or submit tickets via this web interface, and it
all integrates with Microsoft Dynamics GP. It’s
tailored to their specific job in the field so they
don’t need to be specially trained on Microsoft
Dynamics GP.
WD: We also have another tool, MeterMaid,
that enhances the contract module. It takes the
readings posted into Microsoft Dynamics GP

and generates the invoices based on
allowances and timeframe. It’s otherwise
a manual process in out-of-the-box
Microsoft Dynamics GP, and this helps to
streamline contracting and invoicing a bit.
GPUG: What’s a good example of
how you recently provided value to a
Customer?
MM: We recently helped a manufacturer
set up an e-commerce store that helped
automate and integrate Customer
interactions with Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Instead of representatives spending time
and resources answering phone calls, the
Customer can now access the e-commerce
store on their own to see up-to-date
information on current inventory levels,
order tracking and history, and more.
GPUG: How does Saratoga focus
internally on professional development?
WD: We leverage GPUG for a lot of
training and gain a lot from Summit as
well as the daily email recaps and recorded
webinars. We attend GPUG Summit more
on a User side than a Partner side, sending
two or three people to learn best practices
while there.
GPUG: What do you like most about
GPUG?
WD: It’s hard to pick just one thing, but I
personally enjoy the daily emails that come
through. I can just skim through them to
see if something applies to our business
and forward it on to my peers if we want
to look deeper. GPUG makes it possible to
take a quick few minutes to learn.
MM: I love that our non-technical Users
now have ideas for improvements and
feel confident enough to approach
IT with the right questions so the
technical folks can then investigate the
issue directly. GPUG has given us the
resources to make changes where they’re
most needed. GPUG
“WM Coffman has been doing business with Saratoga Technologies for 12 years. During our business
relationship, we have utilized Saratoga for services including support, software upgrades, network
hardware configuration and installation, program customization, and development of an e-commerce
site connected to Microsoft Dynamics GP. WM Coffman has always found Saratoga Technologies to
be very professional, knowledgeable, extremely adept in Microsoft Dynamics GP, and very successful
in developing custom software and e-commerce systems that integrate with Microsoft Dynamics GP.
WM Coffman considers Saratoga Technologies a very valuable extension of our company team and an
indispensable systems Partner.”

Does change bring fear of the unknown – or is it an exciting challenge that you want to
be in on, or do you feel something in between: Apprehension, but you’re willing to give
it some attention? Thoughts like this swirl in everyone’s minds whenever a new project,
system implementation, or company change is in the works. I’ve seen too much of this
in my years as a project manager, especially when implementing a new application that
has broad reaches into the company. People are wondering about what processes will change, whether
their jobs will be affected or possibly even eliminated, or whether there will be no affect to their jobs at
all. There is talk in the hallways – guessing, wondering, pre-supposing…etc.
From my perspective as a project manager, change management is something that should be top of
mind when a new project or initiative is being discussed. It should be tackled proactively. Change should
be considered just as important as gathering requirements. Without buy-in and adoption, there is NO
project – at least not a successful one!
In the planning phase, consider the change it will have to the organization. Will it just affect one
department, or are there cross-functional impacts? Talking it over with HR may be helpful as they may see
a human component that you may not have recognized. Here are some important items to include:
CHANGEwhat does it mean to you?story by GG Rowe, Planar, a Leyard company, User Member

» Create a project steering committee – Included should be your key sponsor who is funding the
effort along with other affected department managers. For an ERP implementation, this is typically top-
level management. On smaller efforts, it might be middle management or a specific department head. This
group should be able to provide insight on their organization and attitude toward any perceived changes.
» Build a communication plan – Define a schedule of when to communicate and what the content of
each message should be. It may start fairly high-level and then get more specific as the project progresses.
» Develop a strong core team – Sometimes your loudest naysayer can be your best advocate and
team member! The core team is an important component of a project. Select the right people to work
on the project – ones that are open to change, willing to experiment, can think outside of the box.
This team will help define the processes and ensure that what is important remains and that what can
be changed to fit the system is indeed changed. They will become your best communicators for the
project and for any changes that will be implemented.
During project execution, it is important to have periodic communications. Consider brown bag events to
respond to open questions and answers. Focus group meetings is another idea for getting in front of a particular
group that is thought to be impacted or has concerns. Whatever avenues are chosen, concerns can be aired and
hopefully any issues can be alleviated before they become problems and a roadblock to success. At a minimum,
this provides opportunities for people to voice their thoughts. Two key factors here are LISTENING and
following through! Every project team member should be actively listening to conversations around them. And
then they should be making sure there is a communication feedback loop. This can be difficult since you may
hear things you didn’t want to know, but it is best to be open, honest, and tackle them head on. Even saying, “I
don’t know right now” or, “I’ll have to get back to you” is better than no response. Provide an opportunity for
people to get involved, if possible. Maybe they will volunteer to be a tester!
At project roll-out, be sure to have adequate training and documentation coverage. One area
easily missed is training for the casual or inquiry Users. These people are important for adoption
since they are typically your data analysts that need to understand the information to make
recommendations and decisions. Here’s an idea from a past project: Have the core team wear
team shirts and roam around so that they can be easily spotted to answer questions and resolve
any start-up questions. A daily stand-up at the beginning or end of the day to review issues is
a good way to ensure nothing is dropped, and it keeps the core team in sync with issues. This
is especially important if you have multiple regions affected.
Each steering committee member should have the project regularly on their staff meeting
agenda as well as in 1:1 discussions. Conveying status, impact, and implications is important
as well as showing management involvement, support, and buy-in. For an ERP project, it
should also be a topic for executive staff so that an overall understanding of the effect on the
company as a whole as well as the cross-functional concerns and issues are discussed. The
management team will need to help make decisions to resolve issues related to resources,
priorities, and cross-functional impacts. A key factor here is SUPPORT!
In summary, embrace change – life never stands still. And again, coming from a
project manager, it is always about change! GPUG

» Deal with It – If you can deal with it in less than two minutes, just do it immediately. When you are done
with the message, put it in an ARCHIVE folder or FOLLOW-UP folder if it needs follow-up by you or
delete it.
» Defer It – If it will take longer than two minutes but less than one hour and is part of your job, move it to
your ACTION TODAY folder. If it’s longer than an hour, plan it into your calendar.
» Delegate It – If it requires another’s action, include clear instruction (what, by when, how, next action,
answer to be sent, etc.) and follow-up and archive it.
» Done – Keep moving when you’re processing your inbox. You can’t get distracted by links, attachments,
or even new emails. GPUG
Ginny urges you to think of your inbox as a busy airport terminal. You need to organize it so you can quickly
process the emails and move on. Prepare your terminals and define a strategy to keep that inbox clean!
» Action Today – Emails that require your action as quickly as possible.
» Follow-Up – You are either waiting on someone else’s input, or you need to check progress on an action.
» Read Later – Emails that don’t require action, but you do need or want to read content.
First and foremost, identify the types of email you’re receiving:
» Critical and Urgent – Needs to be addressed immediately.
» Critical and Not Urgent – Helps you to advance your goals, project, or business, and/or required action
is part of your job.
» Not Critical and Urgent – Everything else that enters your inbox and is not critical, but carries a sense
of urgency.
» Not Critical and Not Urgent – Even if you don’t have to act on it, it’s still in your inbox. Delete!
Bonus tip from Ginny!
Schedule 30 minutes per month on filing maintenance, making sure files are still relevant. This helps a ton
in easy placement of emails and access to information.

This October, Microsoft Dynamics® GP Users will travel from around the world to Tampa, Florida to attend the can’t-miss annual GP conference, GPUG Summit 2016. Over the course of three days, Dynamics GP Users will develop their role, industry, and GP version skill sets and learn real-life applications to deploy back at the office.
Lou Spevack is a Dynamics GP User and Systems Accountant for American Council on Education (ACE). ACE is the nation’s most visible and influential higher education association. ACE represents the presidents of U.S. accredited, degree-granting institutions, which include two- and four-year colleges, private and public universities, and nonprofit and for-profit entities. Spevack will be among those seeking educational experiences unparalleled in the Dynamics GP industry. Spevack first attended GPUG Summit in 2014 and discovered that the community-driven environment leads to a customized conference experience and year-long return on investment.
When facing an organizational challenge with Dynamics GP, ACE has sought answers and solutions on the Expo floor of GPUG
Summit. Spevack considers this compare and contrast approach to solutions during the conference a time saver. “I keep a running list of issues and challenges that I bring to the conference. I network with peers, partners, vendors, and Microsoft Dynamics Support to find solutions and new approaches for the issues on my list,” said Spevack.
The annual conference offers Dynamics GP users a dedicated and organic space to develop professionally within their roles. With credible peer-to-peer knowledge exchange at its core, this conference provides focused learning and networking as users gain instrumental solutions for their everyday Dynamics GP challenges.
In his role at ACE, Spevack has found value in the networking opportunities available during the three-day conference. “I have presented sessions the last two years, and as a result was able to meet many of the people I talk to in GPUG’s online communities throughout the year.”
As for the GPUG Summit 2016 conference, Spevack is looking forward to seeing new features in GP 2016. Count on Spevack to be in Tampa this October!
What advice would you give to someone who has yet to attend GPUG Summit?
“Reserve your hotel room early and wear comfortable shoes. Come with a team because you can’t absorb everything yourself.”

GPUG®: How did you become owner of Sierra
Workforce Solutions?
Mike Christiansen (MC): While I worked in
various jobs once out of college, I always really
wanted to do my own thing. I bought Sierra in
1997 and have never looked back. It’s a passion of
mine to help and motivate people to work harder
and be more productive. I can do that internally
with my team and externally with our clients. It’s
an interesting line of work to help other companies
optimize their workforce.
GPUG: Has Sierra always focused on time-
keeping solutions?
MC: Before I bought the company, Sierra resold
accounting packages. When I came on board,
we created time-keeping solutions for Microsoft
Dynamics GP.
GPUG: What type of solutions do you offer
Microsoft Dynamics GP Users?
MC: We provide time-and-labor tracking software
as well as the hardware and have recently added
a human resources (HR) module to that. Simply
put, we help companies with job costing, business
intelligence, ACA compliance, scheduling, and
workplace security. All of our solutions integrate
with Microsoft Dynamics GP. We specialize in
integrating data into Microsoft Dynamics GP,
taking employee information from Microsoft
Dynamics GP, and then integrating time data back
to payroll and/or project accounting. We have
options that address the need for cloud and mobile
solutions. A hot topic lately has been scheduling,
and we offer a range of options with flexibility for
skillsets, complex labor rules, and sales volume.
GPUG: What type of companies do your
solutions work well in?
MC: We have a wide range of clients. Size can
vary from five employees to 5,000 employees and
more, often working in multiple locations. So
we have experience with SaaS and on-premises
implementations with a distributed workforce.
We are a perfect fit for any company that needs
time tracking, and, really, most all industries need
support in that area to show productivity and
reduce costs.
For service-oriented companies, it’s especial-
ly beneficial so they can estimate jobs properly
through job costing and show where they’re being
profitable or where they’re losing money.
GPUG: What do your Customers like most
about you and your products?
MC: We save companies a lot of time. Our solutions
are tightly integrated, so it’s seamless for Users.
We pride ourselves on our Customer service and
have a 93 percent retention rate year over year.
We look at ourselves as a payroll Partner, helping
companies get their payroll done on time. If you
think about it, it is the basis of how companies run.
Employees need to get paid and on time. There are
also more and more compliance and reporting
regulations around this area of business put into
place by the government, such as ACA reporting,
so we’ve been helping companies with that lately,
too.
GPUG: What do you have coming up for Users
as related to the release of Microsoft Dynamics
GP 2016?
MC: We’ll keep doing what we’ve been doing. We
take a lot of pride in staying on top of Microsoft
Dynamics GP releases. The team is always working
with our clients and prospects to add functionality
to our integrations. We will continue affiliating
with our main outside vendors, Olympic Systems
Project Cost and KEY2ACT, formerly WennSoft,
to provide tighter and more seamless integrations.
GPUG: Tell us more about those solutions. How
do they extend Microsoft Dynamics GP even
further?
MC: Well, at Sierra one of our overarching goals
is to offer the best products for anyone tracking
hourly employees and needing more enhanced
job costing. Both of these solutions have a long-
established integration with Microsoft Dynamics

GP. They allow us to serve very specific sectors of the workforce
with particular employee job costing needs. KEY2ACT transfers
employee, department, and position data into TimeMaster (our
solution) for Microsoft Dynamics GP payroll and job/cost code data
from KEY2ACT. This enhanced integration allows us to really beef up
our offering to field service workers.
Integrating with Olympic Systems Project Cost allows us to of-
fer very granular job and project costing. Olympic Systems Project
Cost is a full-featured project costing and cost accounting solution
for Microsoft Dynamics GP. It meets all contract accounting require-
ments for government contractors. Our time-and-attendance data
dovetails nicely with Olympic Project Cost, making this partnership
a great match.
GPUG: What do you like most about the GPUG community?
MC: I really enjoy the networking and relationship-building in
general. It’s inspirational to see how the ecosystem works together
and aims to get the most out of Microsoft Dynamics GP. GPUG

TrueCommerce
As the number one distributor of bamboo products, Cali Bamboo provides high-quality, sustainable building materials that include bamboo, eucalyptus and cork flooring, recycled composite decking, plywood, fencing, and poles. The company focuses on strategic innovation in the green building space – effectively striving to offer forward-thinking, design-driven building solutions that are simultaneously eco-friendly. Cali Bamboo is now rolling its products out on a national scale and integrating them into large chains, including Lowe’s Home Improvement.
Named to the Inc. 5000 list of the Fastest-Growing Private U.S. Companies for seven years in a row, Cali Bamboo is experiencing tremendous growth at a nearly exponential rate. With that growth have come a few major growing pains, including the necessary transition from manual to automated processing. Mitch West, business systems specialist at Cali Bamboo, explains, “Before we did electronic data interchange (EDI), we were manually transferring files via FTP and simply couldn’t keep up with the rapid increase in transaction volume.” This time-consuming process originally took up an entire 12-hour workday for one employee at Cali Bamboo.
In the midst of this rapid period of growth and change, Cali Bamboo brought Lowe’s on board as a customer – instantly amplifying the volume and complexity of their EDI (Lowe’s requires a large number of varying types of EDI transactions, customized to their specific environment). As Cali Bamboo considered the immediate increase in demand, they knew manual operations simply wouldn’t cut it.
After months of trying to configure a solution to Lowe’s requirements with their original EDI provider, Cali Bamboo began searching for a better alternative. This is where TrueCommerce stepped in – delivering a superior EDI integration solution in a matter of weeks that provided insight for the entire order to cash lifecycle.
“The impact has been profound,” says Chad Coffman, director of IT and business systems at Cali Bamboo. “We’re not only succeeding in transacting with Lowe’s, but we’re now also able to scale as needed, while simultaneously reducing our headcount dedicated to EDI. TrueCommerce simplifies everything down to the right questions and right approaches, enabling us to do just as much as a bigger company in a shorter time frame. This has been a huge win for a company like ours that is smaller but growing very fast.”
In addition to helping Cali Bamboo provide the requisite EDI for big-box retailers, TrueCommerce allows them to sync their two distribution centers to alleviate the manual work involved with sending and receiving transactions across the country. “If we hadn’t found TrueCommerce, we would be adding staff like crazy just to keep up,” Mitch shares. “Our transaction volume has increased at least five times in the past year. Other companies our size have entire teams working on EDI, and here at Cali Bamboo, it’s just me. That’s truly amazing and is a strong testament to how easy the integration is to set up.”
Automating functions with TrueCommerce has opened the door for exciting growth opportunities for Cali Bamboo. “We don’t even know our ceiling yet,” says Chad, “and thanks to TrueCommerce, we can now take on tremendous transaction volume without the growing pains.”

NetStandard
City Wide Maintenance is a facilities maintenance and
management company in the building maintenance industry
with more than 50 years’ experience managing more than
20 facility services, including janitorial services. They have
more than 40 locations throughout the U.S. and have been using
Microsoft Dynamics GP since 2005.
Back in those early days, City Wide made a few rookie
mistakes on their approach with Microsoft Dynamics GP, then
Great Plains. After 10 years of tweaking the system, they ended
up with more than 200 customizations – which brought them
to a screeching halt when faced with solution upgrades. Ken
Miner, director of operations, says, “We finally came to a point
where we were stuck and unable to upgrade at all.”
City Wide was also managing their IT network in-house. Ken
shares, “We’re really great at facility management and helping
our customers, but we’re not so great at network or system
application and administration.” In their search for a hosting
Partner they ran across NetStandard, a firm that specializes in
both Microsoft Dynamics GP and Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
“NetStandard really has it all. They are experts in both
Microsoft Dynamics GP and Microsoft Dynamics CRM as well
as Microsoft Exchange,” says Erin Blair, controller. “Having
someone local that can provide hosting as well as application
development and support has already made a significant
difference for us.”
City Wide began working with NetStandard last August and
is currently in the design phase of the implementation. They
have already converted a third of their IT infrastructure over
to NetStandard, which has resulted in improved end User
experiences and increased uptime at each of their 40+ franchise
locations. “We are highly dependent on a mobile environment,”
Ken explains. “About 80 percent of our workforce spends 80
percent of their day in the field. Needless to say, mobile uptime
is crucial, and NetStandard has helped greatly improve that
uptime for our mobile users.”
NetStandard has also helped City Wide build and design
toolsets to proactively manage their network. “Before, we were
reactive in how we managed our network, and now, I don’t have
to anticipate all the contingencies as we roll out each initiative,”
Ken concludes. “NetStandard is a great Partner in helping us
navigate the project.”
As they complete their implementation project, City Wide
feels grateful to have the right resources available and a more
experienced team by partnering with NetStandard.
