On the CoverAncient Sumerian men and women were possibly the first to
invent and wear lipstick, about 5,000 years ago. They crushed
gemstones and used them to decorate their faces, mainly on
the lips and around the eyes. Also around 3,000 BC to 1,500
BC, women in the ancient Indus Valley Civilization applied
red-tinted lipstick to their lips for face decoration. Ancient
Egyptians extracted red dye from a small amount of iodine and
some bromine mannite, but this dye resulted in serious illness.
Lipsticks with shimmering effects were initially made using a
pearlescent substance found in fish scales. Source: Wikipedia

What do you think of when you read the word “collaboration”? I guess that depends
on your experiences.
When it’s a good fit, it can be a beautiful, productive thing, as Barbara Pfeiffer
shares in her article, “Collaborative Marketing is the New Black” (see page 26). If
you’re a little uneasy about the partnership, Peter Joeckel provides some scenarios
and lessons (with a very common theme) in “A Cautionary Tale” on page 22. If it
is just not working out, Pam McGee proposes that you don’t have to feel bad about making a change in
“You’re in My Sandbox” on page 18.
But let’s get back to those positive experiences, shall we?
The Microsoft Dynamics Partner Recognition program was this past July, and this year’s President’s
Club, Inner Circle, and Partner Award recipients are listed on page 14.
We also sat down with Jeff Geisler, CEO and senior managing director of Socius, the longest-running Inner
Circle Partner, to gain his perspective on the collaborative spirit that comes with the Inner Circle Summit.
We’re also collaborating with Partners to offer a new highlight in the magazine, dubbed the Solution
Spotlight. These spotlights feature customer success stories with Microsoft Dynamics add-on products
and services, and we’re excited to showcase this value on pages 36-38.
Thank you to my team, our advertisers, and participants in The List for your collaborative efforts on this
issue (and through the years!).
Enjoy the read, and here’s to some more great collaborative experiences.

CONTRIBUTORS
PETER JOECKEL
PETER JOECKEL HAS BEEN A LEADER IN MID-MARKET ERP SINCE 1986 when
his company installed some of the first network-based manufacturing systems
in the country. As a business owner, Peter built and eventually sold one of the
fastest-growing and forward-thinking value-added software dealerships in the
country. Its success was fueled by innovative software selection techniques and
an outstanding project delivery team. He sold the organization in 1999 to an
e-commerce provider when it had grown in less than three years from zero to
$6 million in annual revenue with more than 300 customers and 45 employees.
He has assisted in the selection and implementation of hundreds of ERP
solutions and has been recognized for his ability to match the right solution for a
customer’s needs rather than “pushing boxes of software.” Today, Peter focuses
on helping companies select and implement ERP solutions by using advanced
tools and processes that increase the likelihood of successful projects. His goal
is to continue to improve those tools and processes to build value for customers
and provide a smooth transition from the selection to implementation process.

THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | FALL 2015 11
HOMEFRONTON THE
Ah, collaboration. Before I had a couple of great
professional instances under my belt, the word
conjured up memories of group projects in college.
Remember those groups? Two or three people did
99 percent of the work; one or two people showed
up to each meeting but had no idea what was going
on; another pledged help but never actually did anything; and the final
person disappeared after the first meeting and didn’t show up again
until the in-class presentation. (Statistically speaking, some of you
must fall into those latter categories. Don’t worry, I’m over it now.)
Those aforementioned professional instances washed away the
angst of the college ones. In my first professional role, I was fortunate
to work on a team where a group of talented
people came together to put on
events for Partners and customers.
If I break it down, there were two
things that really helped everything
come together: Roles and goals.
Each team member had a specific
role. We had one major event per
quarter, and a couple of smaller
ones sprinkled throughout the
year. The primary event managers
were assigned events on either side of the
calendar year, so that when one event ended, there was a small buffer
before the next one heated up.
Individuals were assigned to content management, marketing,
communications, sponsors, ancillary events, graphic elements,
keynote messaging, and so on. Many of these individuals kept the
same responsibilities event after event, so as to create a cadence,
although some roles did rotate from time to time to keep people fresh.
With these roles assigned, we moved forward and executed on our
events with very little burnout. Seriously. Sure, there were intense,
hands-up-in-the-air moments, but overall, we were a happy, sane
team. We even had lunch away from our desks and took strolls to
the vending machines to play the “if calories didn’t matter” game (it’s
pretty much what you imagine).
The other element of this team’s success was that we had a
common goal in mind: Serving Partners and customers. (Specifically,
to improve the lives and business success of Partners and customers).
When we were looking at a location, agenda, speakers, content,
stage design, etc., our audience was a key factor in the decision. Would
it be a good move for them? Would it enhance their experience?
That came from the top down, and the company lived it and
breathed it. It was special, and I haven’t really seen anything like it
since.
Looking back with a fair dose of nostalgia, I think that team could
still be producing great experiences for Partners and customers. But
like most good things, that time came to an end. That experience was
a springboard for people to go out and create many other worthwhile
and service-oriented endeavors, and I am better for the lessons those
individuals shared with me.

2015 INNER CIRCLE
Inner Circle recognizes the top echelon of Microsoft Dynamics Partners and ranks them at the top of the global network of Partners. This award is a direct result of the positive relationships that these Partners have developed with customers as well as their commitment to delivering top-quality solutions.
THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | FALL 2015 15
TPC INTERVIEW
GeislerSocius has taken the reigns as the longest-running Inner
Circle member in the Microsoft Dynamics Partner community,
celebrating its 19th achievement this year. The Partner
Channel sat down with Jeff Geisler, CEO, to talk about what
this tenure means to Socius, their focus for the next year, and
how the company approaches bringing new talent into the
organization.
The Partner Channel (TPC): Nineteen years – that is quite an
achievement! Looking back over the years, what has been the
greatest benefit to being named to Inner Circle?
Jeff Geisler (JG): Thank you. It’s an honor to be recognized with this
distinction so consistently.
In terms of the Inner Circle event, the thing that has remained the
same from the first event to this last one is gaining a sense of where
Microsoft is headed – especially as it relates to Microsoft Dynamics –
and the interaction with other Partners in a completely different way
than how we interact in other places.
Inner Circle keeps the conversation at a level that is very strategic
in nature. There used to be an alumni event each year that was very
powerful as well, bringing together the top Partners over the years as
it’s important to stay in touch with that community.
TPC: Those who are familiar with the Inner Circle of past
remember a recreation-focused retreat. This year’s event was
more of a business summit, focusing more on strategy and
connection than relaxation and celebration. What are your
thoughts on that change? Did it translate well?
JG: I remember the first “world-wide” Inner Circle, where we traveled
halfway across the world to the Canary Islands. I wondered at the time
if traveling the distance would be worth it, but it really was – except
maybe for the part where I was without my luggage for one and a half
of the three days! I saw a place that I would probably never see, and
the event was interesting, valuable, and a place where I could deepen
relationships with people that I only talk to once or twice a year.
This summit-like event was a similar experience. It’s an evolution, really,
and the main objective was accomplished. The content helped me assess
and validate that we’re positioning ourselves effectively in the marketplace
at the appropriate time. Cloud and Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) are not
new to us, and I was glad to see that the big bets we’re making around
business intelligence (BI), analytics, and the enterprise and SMB space
with Azure are on target. I also met two Partners that I haven’t spent time
with before. You can’t give that a SKU and put it on the shelf.
TPC: You mentioned your big bets. How have you shifted your
focus over the years?
JG: I had to laugh when Kevin Turner (Microsoft chief operating officer
who hosted a Q&A at the event) said that you have to skate where the
CEO and senior managing director of Socius
Jeff
sociusThe Power of Partnership

puck is going, as I say that all the time at Socius. When people ask what
differentiates us and keeps us ahead of the crowd, my answer is that it’s
our focus on being better at every interaction, every time, and not only
understanding our strategy today, but also where we’re going. We always
know where we’re going; we just may not get the time horizon correct.
We have a strong focus on helping our clients understand how
technology is changing and helping them adapt with that technology.
Cloud and analytics have really created an opportunity for clients to
get to know their businesses better through data and how that data
can help them better manage their business.
TPC: The threshold for achieving Inner Circle has shifted over the
years. Do you align your business goals for the year based on its
parameters?
JG: We did until three or four years ago. Back then, Inner Circle was
a metric that we beat our drum on. We wanted to be better for our
clients, and we used the retreat as a reward for our consultants.
We have shifted to focus our goals on what’s best for our business.
I try to be as optimistic as possible, and not dwell on the past. There’s
a time and a place for everything, and as long as we keep providing
value, that’s what is really important to us.
I have found that as the solutions get broader and clients grow
larger around the world, it has facilitated our ability to work with
Partners across the world. Just as there have been shifts in strategy,
there has been an evolutionary emergence of new products. In those
early days (after the Microsoft acquisition), I’m sure a lot of Microsoft
Dynamics AX and Microsoft Dynamics NAV Partners felt that way.
TPC: We focused on hiring in our VAR Profile for this issue (editor’s note: see page 32 for that article). How does Socius approach hiring
new professionals?
JG: The Academic Alliance got us started with events, and we have since
evolved our approach over the last three years to hit college campuses
pretty hard. We start with 10 intern spots each spring and at the end of
the summer we make a few job offers. When an intern comes onboard,
we have the Socius consulting and development teams training them in
ways we wouldn’t have thought imaginable five years ago. There is a new
way of doing things and thinking and communicating, and sometimes
the newest consultants help us refocus our thoughts in that way.
I never imagined a major in analytics, but we’re hiring those people
today. It’s exciting to see their aptitude in taking data and applying it
to businesses. We have a client that is a baseball entity and we created
a dashboard to help them see which of their themed nights is the
most successful. It maybe wasn’t a surprise to learn that the most
successful night was the craft beer night, but it was good to have it
validated! When people realize the impact confident decision making
can have on their business, it’s huge.
The last thing is to look at what is important to young people. It’s
more than a job; it’s being relevant and having camaraderie amongst
their peers. Culture is more important now than it ever was.

SSSSSAAAAALLLLLEEEEESSSSSLEADERSHIP MMMMMAAAAARRRRRKKKKKEEEEETTTTTIIIIINNNNNGGGGG
story by PAM McGEE | illustration by SHAWN OLSON
The Beatles were successful because they collaborated at the right time, with the right music, and the
right talent. Space travel is a huge collaborative success story. The United States, Russia, the European
Union, and China are not only sharing the same vision, but they are also collaborating on resources
and equipment. Integrative software where ISVs, retailers, and Microsoft collaborate on an end-to-end
solution to the customer is often a success story. Beware, collaboration doesn’t always work, and it
certainly doesn’t always result in positive ROI, satisfied employees, loyal customers, and timely results.
During a round of 25 interviews (group and individual), people were asked, “When has collaboration not
worked?” They responded:
» “It doesn’t work when it is too difficult and creates extra work.”
» “It doesn’t work when the purpose is collaboration, not a solution for a customer, team, or business reason.”
» “It doesn’t work if people are shallow and only in the game for their gain.”
» “It doesn’t work if you create a sense of ‘losing power’.”
» “It doesn’t work when people don’t believe that collaboration is real, and they sense a preconceived notion that
the desired collaboration is only lip service.”
» “It doesn’t work when people don’t see possibility or are not open to others’ ideas.”
Why Collaboration Sometimes Doesn’t Work
18 FALL 2015 | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM
Those are a few of the comments that
surfaced, and the general theme was, “I
know I should collaborate, but more often
than not, it just doesn’t work.”
Ron Friedman, Ph.D. and award-winning
social psychologist, states, “Collaboration
doesn’t work when there is pressure to
conform, and it also promotes laziness.”
Harvard Business Review experts say
collaboration doesn’t work when people are
fighting for scarce resources, although that is
often the time when leadership recommends
collaboration.
When field experts, events managers,
project managers, and so on are forced to get
work done by collaboration across teams,
budgets, and strategic priorities, it results in
a dismal failure because instead of assigning
a team and ownership to a result, everyone
is responsible, somebody should get the
work done, and no one lays his/her neck on
the line. The growing concern for the lack of
accountability just might have its root cause
in the growing popularity of collaboration.
In my experience, having watched my peers,
my team, and myself struggle with getting
things done in a matrix organization (which is
a code for lack of accountability), collaboration
just doesn’t work. Employees experience no
sincere or direct interest in the other person’s
success, team’s success, or division’s success.
Although collaboration sounds like the right
thing to do, it would be un-mainstream and
somewhat unpopular to say, “No, thank you. I
would prefer we not work together but rather
go it alone.” I sometimes think that that bold,
upfront statement would save lots of people
time, energy, and frustration.
Chief Executive Magazine recommends
that you avoid collaboration if there is
competition among the teams. Teams who
have one common goal and a decision maker
if a tiebreaker results are a much better
method for getting work completed.
When collaboration results in a leadership
group of people struggling to make it work,
it not only decreases employee satisfaction,
but it may also even result in a decline in
progress. We often assume that just putting
teams together to accomplish a goal is
enough. In Education Week, they indicated
that, “G_R_O_U_P W_O_R_K doesn’t spell
collaboration”. Unmanaged and cavalier
recommendations to cross-collaborate often
cause people to become more competitive,
less apprehensive to compromise, and even
willing to fight just to fight, even when both
teams may be closer to synthesis than realized.
It sometimes reminds me of the ever-popular idea that “two best friends from high schools
should live together as college roommates.” Sometimes it works, but more often than not, it
results in a messy friendship breakup. When two teams think they should “live together” on
the same project, my guess is the result is the same.
Running the risk of being unpopular, my recommendation is to stop the overt denial that
cross-collaboration is the answer. It’s popular, yes, but maybe it is not the answer.
When you do recommend collaboration, do so only when the teams know that at any time
they can say “no”, “not working”, and “taking my toys and going home”, because if you don’t,
you’ll end up wasting a lot of time deciding who gets to play with the dump truck and who
doesn’t, when the problem that really needs addressing is that someone is peeing all over your
sandbox.

The original title of this article was going to be, “How I wasted over a year of my business life trying to
educate a start-up technology company on how to enter the Microsoft Dynamics channel, and in the
process become fabulously wealthy but instead wasted my time and now have nothing to show for
my efforts…not even a t-shirt”.
Evidently the problem with that title was that it would be too difficult to create the accompanying
illustration for the magazine.
Editor’s note (not really, it’s my own, but that sounds more important): The names of the dumb and mortified have been changed to protect the guilty. Oh wait…never mind…my name is right there as the author!
Twitter generation article synopsis: Just because you build a better mousetrap the world will not beat a path to
your door, not if you do everything else wrong.
A little background music, please.
Well over a year ago, I received a random LinkedIn InMail touting a new technology that I might want to
represent. I did not understand the email, but something made me visit the company’s website. Once there I was
even more confused as the messaging did nothing to help me understand what the features were, never mind the
benefits.
At that point I should have deleted the email and forgotten I ever looked at the website, but something kept
nagging at me. Going back I suddenly “thought” I knew what they were trying to say they could do, and if I was
right, I figured that we had a license to print money. Not that I need to print money, mind you: Being a Microsoft
Dynamics VAR has made me (and everyone else in the channel) wealthy beyond my wildest dreams.
So for purely academic reasons, I determined that bringing a new technology to the Microsoft Dynamics market
would be a great adventure.
Fast forward to today and painful lessons learned. If you are looking to work with a new ERP solution, an ISV
product, or even a new technology partner, you may save yourself a lot of time and money looking out for the
following potential pitfalls.
PRICING IS KINGFalling in love with your own technology is death.
It does not matter how much time and money you spent developing your better mousetrap. More importantly, it
does not matter what you think is a fair price.
Hubris will blind you to what the market is telling you is a fair price. Pricing has to be based on what the market
is willing to pay…unless you are Apple, which in that case, charge whatever you want!
LESSON: If a company is not willing to listen to its Partners or customers regarding pricing…run.
CONTRACTS ARE COMPLEXPartner programs have a myriad of complexities that require experience and finesse in structuring fair contracts.
If those are not in place, it can take years, not months, to get them ironed out.
Insert obligatory lawyer joke here.
LESSON: If fair and detailed Partner and end-user contracts are not firmly in place…run.

Collaborative Marketing is
the New Black26 FALL 2015 | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM
story by BARBARA PFEIFFER | illustration by DAVE SWANG
With today’s buyer taking control of the buying process, marketers find themselves going
deeper into the sales funnel, creating more content, and using more engagement tactics
as they take their prospect from awareness through evaluation and trial. At the same time,
while the demands on their time are increasing, 90 percent of VARs and ISVs have less than
four people on their marketing team (and that number has stayed pretty consistent).*
WITH ALL THIS PRESSURE, WHAT’S A MARKETER TO DO?The answer might be in collaborative marketing.
In an often-referenced Forbes blog post, David K. Williams defined collaborative marketing as “…the process
of sharing resources to increase leads, brand, and influence.” That’s a beacon for today’s overwhelmed, under-
resourced marketer, so it’s no surprise that we’re seeing more collaborative marketing (CM) every day.
We wouldn’t call collaborative marketing the “new black” if it was just a great way to stretch your resources
(although in our opinion, that does take it to a pretty cool level). What really makes CM the next “new thing” is that
beyond potential resources, it can also bring you:
» New prospects. In certain collaborations, CM can open up a whole new set of interested prospects for your services.
» More credibility. When you bring expertise from multiple organizations together, you can create stronger,
more educational, and more valuable content.
» Budget savings! Outsourcing content development and design? Share the costs with three complementary
companies, and that one e-book you budgeted for becomes three. Doing the work in-house? Spend some time
with fellow Partner(s) comparing your marketing expertise so each Partner contributes what they do best.
WITH WHOM DO YOU COLLABORATE? The most natural collaborations are, of course, between ISVs and their VAR channel. That’s where you should start.
To be a true collaborative marketer, though, you’ll want to look at all sources for possible collaborations, including:
» Infrastructure Partners. Check out many of the Microsoft Ready-to-Go and other packaged Partner
campaigns, and you’ll find most are integrated campaigns across multiple products. This is particularly true for
Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The best campaigns are those that offer the prospect an integrated, one-stop solution,
and you’ll be seeing continued emphasis on this in future Microsoft materials and programs. Take advantage of
this trend: Bring an infrastructure Partner into your marketing to double the impact of those campaigns.
» Professional service providers. Who do you work with that might add value to your marketing or have
a complementary customer base? Accounting firms? Law firms? Financial services firms? Look at all your
service providers and consider whether there is an opportunity to introduce each other’s services or share
expertise for content development.
» Customers. Yes, customers! They are a big piece of collaborative marketing – although in a slightly different
way. Customers are collaborators when they advocate for your company and when you put them at the center
of your campaigns (telling their story and SHOWING your expertise instead of just talking about it).
» Industry leaders, associations, and groups. No – it’s not a cheat. Yes – you are paying for your
membership, but that doesn’t make it any less collaborative. In this partnership, you’re bringing the dollars,
and they’re bringing the reach and credibility.
Once you have your co-marketing plan outlined, you need to consider where you want to share marketing efforts.
Common “sharing” scenarios we see in the Microsoft marketing channel include:
» Creating joint email campaigns, e-books, and infographics
» Sharing space at events and tradeshows
» Participating in group blogs
All of these are great, but collaborations can really take you so much further. With a little creativity, you can
deliver marketing campaigns, content, and programs that you could never do on your own.
SIX CLEVER COLLABORATIONS » Create an expert e-book. “Five Tips to Increasing Profitability for Distributors” would be a lot easier to
write if five organizations each took one tip to write about. Take it an additional step: Have each participant
create a short video of his/her tip, and then share those tips on your YouTube and other social channels.
THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | FALL 2015 27
Don’t have the talent in-house? Pool your dollars to outsource
the e-book or videos.
» Invite experts in your target industries to answer one
common question. Then compile the responses into an e-book,
infographic, or white paper. To get them engaged, make sure you
have a strong promotion plan that you can share with them upfront
to show the reach your piece will have. It’s free marketing for them
in return for minimal effort. An added benefit: Content from third-
party experts is more trusted than content you create yourself, so
these industry thought leaders will add to your credibility.
» Create a virtual event. A webinar is, well, a webinar. It’s a
good tactic, but it’s kind of boring. Work with fellow Partners
to take your webinars and package them into a virtual event.
Use your shared budget to hire a great keynote speaker and
build a virtual event site with a schedule of all your webinars,
including a single registration, additional resources, and even a
virtual expo for your event attendees. Consider working with an
industry association for promotion of this event in exchange for
“speaking time” on the agenda or a place in your expo.
» Create a customer-centric campaign. Tell the story of
a customer and the results you helped them achieve. “Tease”
out the story over a series of touches including emails, articles,
blogs, and social posts with the finale being a live, interactive
webinar. For extra credit, weave the customer’s business into the
campaign. This doesn’t work with every industry, but in cases
where your customer offers a product, you can weave product
images into the campaign in creative ways and even provide
actual samples via lumpy mailers to your top prospects. Have
shared customers? Even better as you can work with the other
Partners on the heavy lifting.
» Create a survey. Surveys are a great way to establish credibility
in an industry. They are also a great way to feed your content
engine. From one survey you can publish the results in an
e-book, create some powerful infographics, write blog posts,
and share snippets via your social networks. It is essential to note
that surveys need a good base of people to survey. Joining with
other Partners to survey a specific industry or market segment
will give your results more weight.
» Go over the top. Want to do a really integrated, creative
campaign with all the bells and whistles? Super-creative
campaigns across a wide range of tactics – from direct mail to
advertising – can cost money but are worth it in the end as they
often produce higher responses than email or other stand-alone
tactics. Collaborating with a group of Partners can give you
access to the budget you would not have on your own and allow
you to build that one-of-a-kind campaign.
But wait! All that stuff takes work. Didn’t I say you were going to get
more resources? Yes, in time. You’ll also get better content, stronger
campaigns, and a wider reach that will make that initial investment
worth the effort. Need proof? Check out how one of your peers found
success by participating in a collaborative marketing campaign at
www.thepartnermarketinggroup.com/marketing-resources.

» Be on the look out. Find companies with similar
cultures and work styles.
» Start small. It takes time to build a working
relationship. Start with a smaller project or campaign
to see how well your styles mesh.
» Set expectations and define roles. Be super clear
on who owns what, establish realistic due dates, and
document milestones to avoid surprises down the road.
» Plan together. Collaborations work best when they
start in the planning stage with the added benefit
of a lot more ideas being brought to the table. Take
advantage of events such as Convergence, WPC, User
Group Summit, and reIMAGINE to meet with others
and brainstorm brilliant campaigns.
» Tracking. In order to understand the success of any
campaign, you need to have a tracking mechanism in
place. With collaboration, how you track will likely be
based on how you are executing the campaign. For
example, will each of the companies send their own
email touches, and then the results will be compiled?
Or will you use a single platform? Will you create a
single landing page?
» Do a post-mortem. What worked, what didn’t, and
what can work better next time? Make sure you don’t
look just at the campaign but at the collaboration itself.

who are making it all possible!
I’m very excited to be a part of The Genius Series this year. As a young professional and new
addition to the Microsoft Dynamics channel, it is easy to feel like a small fish. The small-
group setting of the sessions and sense of community that The Partner Channel is fostering
among participants is invaluable. The program is creating a wonderful opportunity to stay
on top of the latest marketing trends, measure our current activities, and identify new op-
portunities for our brand. For me personally, the program is offering outside guidance and
encouraging lasting connections as I work to move forward and build a career.
The Genius Series is off to a great start! Our first meeting was fun, informative,
comfortable, and motivational. I am truly looking forward to working with this lovely group
of women over the next nine months.

VAR PROFILE
IRIS SCHIMKE
president and CEO of Express
Information Systems
JIM SHEEHAN
managing partner at PowerObjects
JACK BOYER
president of Boyer and Associates
KATIE HASBARGEN
worldwide program lead for the
Microsoft Dynamics Academic Alliance
The Partner Channel (TPC): What does your current hiring environment look like?
Jack Boyer (JB): We’ve gone through some serious changes in the last six months
in building up our Microsoft Dynamics NAV practice, but we are struggling to
find Microsoft Dynamics NAV professionals to meet that demand. Even when we
go through the hoops of using a hiring agency, conducting personality tests, and
vetting out the new professional, we’ve had limited success in knowing new people
will work out. I would say one out of two are successful in spite of the additional HR
steps we are making to vet candidates.
Iris Schimke (IS): Keeping great people is a lot easier than finding new ones. For
us, we are always on the lookout to see when new tech resources bubble to the
surface, because when you’re actually looking for someone, you don’t find him/her.
For example, we hired a professional part-time because we didn’t have a spot open,
and now she’s one of our highest billable resources. If we would have turned her
away at the beginning, we would have missed that chance to onboard a very valuable
employee.
Katie Hasbargen (KH): Similar to what Jack and Iris touched on, we see Partners
struggle with finding the right candidate at the right time. There is a lack of
resources in the community at large, so finding those resources is problematic. It
is often a reactive situation of when the work is coming in and then trying to scale
their resources to adjust. I think Partners are starting to realize the need for a more
pragmatic approach to hiring talent.
Jim Sheehan (JS): We take a completely different tactic. Hiring has become a
soapbox item for me, and an entrepreneurial challenge that PowerObjects has to
own. Last year we added 150 people, doubling the size of our organization. We made
a lot of investments to make that happen, but it was doable.
Partners need to stay ahead of the curve. Just-in-time hiring will never enable an
organization to grow to a sustainable business. When you hire in that way, you’re
just paying for the inconvenience of needing people right away.
TPC: How would you recommend Partners start thinking more strategically in
terms of hiring?
JS: With just-in-time hiring, you’re on the road to higher turnover and lots of issues.
You’ll always be playing catch-up to projects, rather than getting the right teams in
place and ready to serve your clients.
We like that the Microsoft Dynamics Academic Alliance is pushing colleges to
teach business applications, but we don’t rely on it as a strategy. We want students
to know about PowerObjects, and more so, how we can add to the university
curriculum to help them learn more about Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
KH: We encourage Partners to consider a new graduate recruiting strategy.
Candidates are centrally located at colleges and universities. It is a longer-term
strategy and takes them longer to ramp up, but then you can depend on a more
steady flow of talent.
IS: We’ve seen two challenges when hiring “green technicians”: 1. They don’t have
enough business acumen, so they don’t understand the lay of the land from a
customer’s perspective. 2: Customers smell what they don’t know, and that creates
stress on both sides. Therefore, to compensate for less experience, the billing rates
are less.
I would rather plunk the new people with a client to get real on-the-ground
experience so they can see how it works from the other side, and then move them
back to us.
KH: It’s funny you say that, because some Partners do just that. They offer their new
recruits up as a free resource at the client site, and then eventually move them back
to their Partner organization.
IS: That’s a great idea. Once they understand what a client goes through and why
different things are important from a client’s perspective, the light bulb comes on,
and their value as a consultant goes up.
Hiring and keeping talent is a
topic that seems to come up time
and time again when we talk to
Partners, so this roundtable digs a
little deeper into that issue. There’s
definitely no silver bullet, but our
interviewees have a few tricks up
their sleeves…
Hiring and Keeping Talent
32 FALL 2015 | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM
TPC: Have you established some best practices in the hiring and interviewing
process?
JS: We have never used an external recruiter and don’t plan to. Our internal hiring
team has the best idea of our core values and what’s important to being an integral
part of our company.
We’ve had a lot of success with hosting a college career event each year. We have
about 200 students show up, we hire 12, and away we go.
From a fit perspective, we’re looking for people who get what the technology does
and are passionate about that. And since we hire based on our core values, it’s not
the depth of technology knowledge a person has, but rather that they think it’s really
cool. Those are the people we want.
IS: We’ve tried to stay away from the Microsoft Dynamics recruiting pool because
we operate from a consulting standpoint, very differently than most VARs in the
channel. Our hiring process has to be unique. We work with a local recruiter and
have a negotiated fee with them that has seemed to work well for us. It’s important to
find a recruiter that’s a good match with your company. Some agencies work for the
numbers, but we are a tad more “touchy feely” than that. It’s more about the employee
matching our culture and having similar values. Our recruiter understands that.
We then go through top-down interviews to see if they’re a culture fit. They
meet with sales, consultants, and marketing to get questions from every end of the
spectrum. If all that goes well, we have them shadow a day with a consultant.
JB: We work with a recruiter, too, and conduct team interviews to see their social
skills and how they answer difficult questions under pressure. We also have them
undergo an assessment, which potentially uncovers personality clashes.
TPC: Have you ever worked with temp agencies?
JB: No. It’s not a sufficient option when people don’t have the skills. You really need
to be a technical expert in implementing software and undergoing upgrades.
IS: Same here. We don’t hire contract people. They simply don’t have skin in the
game on ensuring the happiness of our client. We also can’t deliver on our culture or
promise to our clients by hiring a temp.
TPC: Have times changed since you’ve started in this business? Is it harder to
find talent now versus back then?
JB: I’ve had this consulting practice for 21 years, and this has always been a difficult
thing for us. We’ve learned that when we get a good employee, we do everything
to keep him/her. With all our new Microsoft Dynamics NAV deals, I over-hired
to get people on the ground quickly, and unfortunately, a few of those deals fell
through. I would say I’m more cautious to hire now, but yet we remain committed to
having enough people and thrilling our clients. It can be a struggle, especially when
starting a new practice.
IS: Exactly. It’s a tango all the way. There’s a certain cadence to manage billable hours
and scale team members with that. Even when you hire those employees, it’s another
tango of giving them certainty of new deals and keeping their average billable time
high enough so they’re challenged and seeing good compensation.
I started more than 26 years ago in the channel and remember Great Plains 4.0 to
5. Although that was a challenge because it was new, we weren’t expected to know
so much back then. Now, we need to understand how it all plays and works together.
There is a ton more complexity with infrastructure and the web, so if you don’t have
a baseline understanding, you can’t troubleshoot.
JS: I would say it has been pretty consistently difficult if you are looking to just hire
people with the technology skill set. We’ve only been in Microsoft Dynamics since
2007, and the whole time, we have been in a resource-constrained channel. What
has changed is how we approach it and look at finding the right people that fit our
culture and invest in their skills.

THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | FALL 2015 33
TPC: What has seemed to work the best in quickly ramping up
new professionals?
JB: We have had success in online training and job shadowing. When
consultants and developers shadow, they are expected to understand
the answer and document the answer to help them gain knowledge of
how the solution works.
IS: We have one resource who spearheads upgrades, and when we have new
hires, we have them join on her team to start understanding complexities
of the process with visibility into ISVs and third parties from the get-go.
Then we place them in a gopher role where consultants have them
do their grunt work. This helps them learn quickly and groom their
troubleshooting skills. There is a lot of pressure when you’re trying
to solve a problem, and your client is watching you. It takes a certain
amount of skill and confidence to do that well.
JS: We have three programs to onboard new employees. The first is
for people who have been in the channel for a while, and that program
is focused primarily to see if they’re a fit for our culture.
For those who have two to three years of experience, we have a
learning path dubbed the consultant onboarding (COB) program.
Our consultant in training (CIT) program is geared toward those
who have no past work experience with Microsoft Dynamics; they
are either coming out of a college-type program or were previously
working somewhere totally unrelated. There is a three- to six-month
investment to get them up to speed, and our education team runs the
CIT programming to get them where they need to be.
TPC: How about remote employees? Have you had good
experiences with keeping remote employees engaged?
JS: We have four offices but have people working from all states.
This has been one of the bigger challenges as PowerObjects has
gone beyond 300 people, and it’s something I think about daily.
When we are able to have people office in one of our locations, that
is ideal, but if not, we really make sure we leverage technology such
as Yammer and Lync (Skype for Business) to keep the team plugged
together.
IS: We are very firm believers of keeping a good balance between life
and work. As a women-owned company, family always comes first,
and we’ve had quite a few employees choose to work from home
versus in the office. We did move an employee from Texas to Virginia,
so she is 100-percent remote, and it’s worked great!
Technology has really allowed this to be possible. We do have a
monthly all-hands meeting, so we’re all face-to-face at least once a
month, and attendance is not optional. We hold a morning huddle
every day at 8:15 a.m. to review what everyone is working on. One
consultant runs the meeting, and each person gets two minutes. This
really helps keep us all connected, and if someone has issues, we take
that time to help each other out.

DynamicPoint Expense
Management
OneBlood is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) community
asset responsible for providing safe, available, and
affordable blood to more than 200 hospital partners
and their patients throughout most of Florida, parts
of Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina. The organization
distributes nearly one million blood products annually, employs
more than 2,500 people, operates more than 80 donor centers,
and deploys more than 200 mobile collection units.
OneBlood struggled with manual and inefficient expense
reimbursement and credit card approval workflows. Employee
reimbursements were delayed due to the short timeframe for
processing as well as a lack of integration between expense
approval and the electronic funds transfer (EFT) process.
Chris Engert, director of business and quality information
systems, shares, “Basically, employees never knew the status of
their request or when they were getting paid, which prompted
many calls and emails to the accounts payable team.”
Since 2012, OneBlood has been merging with other blood
centers in Florida. So, when the organization began searching for
an expense management solution, critical requirements included
ease of use, scalability, and quick deployment. “Selecting
DynamicPoint’s Expense Management solution was a natural
fit for OneBlood as it allowed us to leverage our existing IT
infrastructure, SharePoint, Microsoft Dynamics GP, and EFT
application footprint, which ultimately gave us an end-to-end
solution,” Chris explains. “Since DynamicPoint is built on these
highly scalable systems, we have been able to triple the size of our
user base at virtually no additional cost since our initial purchase.”
SharePoint is also now integrated with OneBlood’s Active
Directory, eliminating the need for manual routing workflow
and user management. The OneBlood team has been able
to customize its expense management solution specific to
business needs very quickly at a reasonable cost. “I can’t forget
that this application is very easy to use,” Chris says, “Which
our team members love!” All of these factors have resulted in
very low total cost of ownership.
While the application has brought tremendous value and
efficiency to the OneBlood organization, DynamicPoint’s
differentiator has been the support and professional services
team. “IT systems are never perfect. The difference between a
good and average (or poor) experience is made when a vendor
proves themselves as a true business Partner by ensuring the
customer is getting the value they expect from their product,”
Chris concludes. “It’s this character and culture of their team
that validates my decision to partner with DynamicPoint.”

SOLUTION:
Dynaway EAM Solution for Enterprise Asset Management
With 20 locations across Virginia and North
Carolina, 800 employees, and 200+ Microsoft
Dynamics AX users, Luck Stone is one of the
largest family-owned and operated producers
of crushed stone, sand, and gravel in the nation.
Prior to April 2013, when Luck Stone implemented
Microsoft Dynamics AX, the company dealt with very manual
processes in tracking and maintaining its equipment. Andy
Jordan shares, “We had an EAM solution that we implemented
in 1999, but it was never integrated with Microsoft Dynamics
AX, and it was very difficult to use.”
In addition to poor user adoption, Luck Stone had minimal
visibility into cost information for each piece of equipment. Sarah
Patthoff recalls, “There was no common platform for maintenance
information. We managed our data in Outlook, spreadsheets, the
Microsoft AX Projects module, and in the old EAM system.”
When Luck Stone started searching for a new EAM
solution, the organization had three imperatives the solution
had to meet: Easy to use, easy to access, and easy to pull
information out of the system. Dynaway’s EAM solution
met these criteria and more, and now Luck Stone is on
one common platform with visibility into equipment and
reduced efforts in finding information. Sarah shares, “It takes
us just three hours to train our field associates on Dynaway,
including the mobile solution, and they’re up and running on
their own. Compared with our old system, it’s night and day
on how easy it is to use.”
Since Dynaway is built on the Microsoft platform, users can
do data mining on their own by exporting to Microsoft Excel
from any screen. Getting information out, through the cost
control tool, allows Luck Stone to slice and dice information so
users can better understand their business. They can also see
exactly when they need to maintain and/or replace equipment,
helping them serve customers more quickly and effectively.
Luck Stone has worked with ERP Partners for the past four
years. “Hands down, Dynaway is the best Partner we have
worked with,” Sarah says. “The fact that our end-users are
already realizing value speaks volumes to how great Dynaway
is. Technology is meant to empower Users and help them get
their jobs done more effectively.
Dynaway has done that for us
and so much more in such a
short time!”

InvestmentAssets from
ICAN Software Solutions
Inglewood Park Cemetery, an endowment care cemetery, is
located in California and handles approximately $70 million
in investment monies. Inglewood Park Cemetery and its sister
company, Park Lawn Cemetery, have several funds in addition
to the state-required endowment care fund, the earnings from
which are used to maintain the cemetery grounds and facilities.
The other funds include commodities and services purchased in
advance by their clients, the earnings from which offset the price
increases over time. Jacqueline Gonzalez, vice president of fund
management, works directly with the companies’ investment
committee in managing these investments.
Inglewood Park Cemetery formerly leveraged AS400 CCMS
software, which had a general ledger (GL) package designed
for cemeteries. This meant that any asset reporting had to be
processed manually using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Jacqui
recalls, “This worked fine in the ’80s when we had just four or
five investment managers and 10 investment portfolios, but
we’ve grown into a well-diversified operation with thousands of
investments, such as equities, real estate, fixed income, mortgage-
backed securities, and much more, across our 42 portfolios.”
Its month-end and year-end processes became very tedious to get
through. In fact, it would take a full month to get through month-
end processing, reporting, and reconciliations. The organization
was also very prone to error when dealing with its manual processes.
“What we put in, we got out, and too much of our time was dedicated
to checking and reconciling reports,” Jacqui shares.
The volume of work required to handle monthly
amortizations and interest accruals made it necessary for
those entries to be captured on a year-end basis. Due to the
manual reporting of investments, the preparation for yearly
audits was extremely time-consuming. “Our auditors needed
to do more testing on our investment holdings to make sure
the information we were using was accurate,” Jacqui says.
ICAN Software Solutions came to Inglewood Park
Cemetery’s aid, and everything changed. The organization went
live on Microsoft Dynamics GP with ICAN InvestmentAssets
in 2012 and now has complete and accurate tracking and history
of each investment holding, complete with customizations
specific to the industry and so much more.
Closing books each month is now accomplished in
approximately 10 days. “We can pull monthly amortizations,
interest, and income accruals. The reconciliation process is
so smooth; it takes literally a push of a button to initiate a
reconciliation report back to our statements. I’m still amazed
and still enjoy learning all the ways ICAN is able to help us,”
Jacqui concludes.

story by LINDA H. YATES | illustration by SHAWN OLSON
For years I had heard the phrase “no man is an island” and didn’t think much about it. Then one day
a close relative made a choice with his life that had a ripple effect. I then understood this profound
phrase and have reflected upon it often.
What we do or do not do affects those in our lives and businesses. There are hard-working and
smart individuals who, with sheer will, do amazing things alone. Yet, the power of two or more is
when the ROE occurs. What is ROE? In this case, it is return on energy. The trick is to find those
Partners or team members where our combined energy is magnified. We don’t have to go it alone. Partnering with
an individual or an organization can help us move to the next level.
HERE ARE SOME TOOLS TO IDENTIFY A GOOD ROE FIT: » Share the same principles. It will serve you in the long run. Research and securing references will guide you in
the partnering decision.
» Determine if they are truly a competitor or rather if a synergistic relationship can occur. Often combining
forces with a competitor will help you both succeed in the long run.
» Add complementary services or products to your business. Identify joint ventures where it makes
business, marketing, and even branding sense. This will pave the road of opportunity, and the possibilities
will be endless.
» Establish effective communication strategies. Communication will be the secret to a positive relationship.
40 FALL 2015 | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM
Constant follow-up is key. Discuss your strategic plans. This will move your combined goals and efforts along
the path to success.
» Set goals and milestones. This will allow you to measure whether the joint venture is successful.
It is hard to trust others when you have experienced a bad situation. Doing your due diligence ahead of time
will help prevent potential pitfalls or disappointments. Sometimes saying no to proposed opportunities is the best
course of action. It pays to be picky.
As you are selecting Partners, look for strengths that you are missing. Once you have identified those strengths,
this will help your business grow.
By doing this, you will create a win-win solution, and your ROE will increase. The same holds true for
personal relationships. Create a complementary team where all stakeholders feel invested. When team members
feel supported and affirmed, a positive outcome will result.
Your decisions and path will affect many lives. By being strategic, you can chart an excellent future no matter
what has occurred in the past. That is the beauty of a new day!

Great cooks insist on using the best ingredients. As a marketer, you should, too!
I know how to cook up a great campaign, write a brilliant blog post, and create an award-winning
submission, but what I need are the ingredients – the subject matter expertise that resides in the
brains of the company’s busiest employees. All the marketing tools, detailed spreadsheets, and
sophisticated marketing techniques in the world will not overcome a lack of good, compelling,
accurate content. It’s like making a soufflé with powdered eggs. Your content will fall flat.
So how do you get the good stuff? You have to set up interviews and meetings with the subject matter experts who
understand the topic in depth. Be as flexible as you can. I’ve had to grab consultants’ time while they were waiting in
airports, sitting in hotel rooms, taking a break in-between demos – basically, squeezing in a few moments between
their immediate revenue-driving priorities.
Here are my tips to getting on their schedule and gathering what you need:
» Tie your project into the company’s overall mission. No one wants to write a blog post that is going to
collect dust, never to be looked at or shared. Marketing never seems as vital as the billable hour or the next sale –
but it’s critical for long-term success. Connect the dots as to how their participation ties into the overall mission.
Also, make sure you have the buy-in of the executive team. If they know that this project has all eyes on it, they
are more likely to be responsive.
» Honor their time. The subject matter experts you are seeking out are usually compensated by billable time
and/or are commission-driven, and they don’t always understand why participating in creating content is so
important. I recommend starting your conversations by marketing the value of marketing. Tell them where
and how the content you create will be used. Keep your meetings with them short and to the point, but most
importantly, come to the meeting on time and prepared! Don’t show up without first writing down questions to
discuss with them. Also, keep them informed as to the project schedule. Communicate when they can expect to
see the first draft, and set expectations about how quickly you’d like for them to get their revisions back to you.
» Piggyback. What are these experts already doing that you can leverage? Are they hosting a webinar? Are they
training a new employee? Do they have an upcoming internal training that you could sit in on and listen to?
Rather than asking for a separate meeting, get invited to meetings that they’re already having.
» Play to their strengths. Are they good at writing? Give them a series of questions to answer. Staring at a blank
page is the worst part about writing. Can they verbalize what they mean better than they can write? Schedule a
phone conference and record the call so you can refer back to key points later. Ask what material already exists
that you can use as a leverage point – so that you don’t have to start at the very beginning.
» Make them look good. Make sure they get credit for their contributions! Their name should be in the byline.
Allow them to post to their own Twitter feed and LinkedIn profile. Train them on the best ways to amplify the
message on social media. Say nice things about them to their boss (assuming the compliment is well-deserved).
Overall, let them know their time is well-appreciated and valued.
When there is so much to be done, it can be mighty tempting to want to churn out content as fast as possible. But,
if you are continually creating pieces that are all fluff and no substance, you devalue your brand and damage your
authority on the subject. As the marketing team, you shouldn’t be expected to know the technical terms and nuances
of the industry that have taken your experts 20+ years to learn. Your job is to ask the right questions, move the project
along, and get the desired results.
Now get out there and get cooking!

As a Microsoft Dynamics Partner, you are likely all too familiar with the challenges of finding the
right talent to sustain and expand your business. The candidates are few and far between, and
attracting experienced hires to your organization can be an expensive proposition. More and
more of the top-performing Microsoft Dynamics Partners are focusing on bringing in net-new,
junior resources by making recruiting new college graduates a priority. Getting the best talent
– and getting those candidates early – is key to expanding not only your business, but also the
Microsoft Dynamics ecosystem.
“We know from our work with Partners large and small that focusing on college recruiting pays off,” says Katie
Hasbargen, worldwide program lead for the Microsoft Dynamics Academic Alliance.
During the last Microsoft fiscal year, more than 500 junior resources were hired into the channel worldwide (as
reported by Partners that work with the Academic Alliance) and more than 284,000 students experienced Microsoft
Dynamics in the classroom. This resource pool is the result of the Microsoft Dynamics Academic Alliance, a free
Microsoft program that provides Microsoft Dynamics CRM and ERP licenses to colleges and universities to use in
their curriculum. Currently, the Academic Alliance has 1,423 academic members worldwide.
Getting in touch with this rich pool of resources is as simple as making connections and building relationships
with your local colleges and universities.
START EARLY AND THINK LONG TERMBegin by evaluating the current and future needs of your organization. How many new hires do you need to meet
your future business needs? How many of those hires should be new graduates? Where would a new-graduate hire
best fit in your organization? Do you have a plan in place for training and mentorship? Answering these type of
questions is key to building an effective strategy for your organization.
In the world of recruiting new college graduates, it is important to be proactive and not reactive. Start early and
think long term when developing your strategy.
“We encourage Partners to talk to students early in their college careers about opportunities, and then work to
secure a hire no later than the fall of their senior year,” says Katie. “The best candidates are recruited early.”
Getting to the right students requires laying the groundwork by building a relationship with the institution.
“Start with a good idea of what kind of candidates you’re looking for and where they would best fit in your
organization,” Katie explains. “Then target the schools that best fit the bill of what you need.”
USE YOUR ALUMNI CONNECTIONSLook at where your current employees attended college or university. From where have your most successful
hires come? If these colleges are regional and have programs that are a good fit for your organization, target those
schools and work on building relationships with them. Sometimes your employees may still have connections to
these institutions, which can make it easier to build a relationship.
LEVERAGE THE MICROSOFT DYNAMICS ACADEMIC ALLIANCE“When we start working with Partners, we help them identify schools in their area that are already using
Microsoft Dynamics in their curriculum and, thus, would be ideal institutions to target for recruiting,” says Katie.
Working with Partners to build their recruiting strategies and getting connected to the right schools is a major
focus of the Microsoft Dynamics Academic Alliance.
“Our goal is to get students hired into the Microsoft Dynamics channel,” Katie says. “We’re here to assist with
and encourage this process.”
Once target schools have been identified, the Academic Alliance can facilitate a connection to the school to build
a relationship. If the target schools are not members of the program, the Academic Alliance can help recruit them.

THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM | FALL 2015 45
“If we can get students exposed to Microsoft Dynamics during their college careers, they are more likely to
choose Microsoft Dynamics-related careers and are also easier to train, making their billable time happen faster,”
explains Katie.
GET TO KNOW THE FACULTYOnce a connection is made, getting to know the faculty’s needs and goals is next. Faculty are interested in their
students’ success. Partners need to consider how their organization’s knowledge and talent can add to the classroom
experience, in addition to providing future job opportunities to the students.
“We find that these relationships work best when they are mutually beneficial to both the school and the Partner,”
Katie says. “And, no two relationships are alike.”
Partners can participate in a variety of activities that contribute to student success, including providing technical
expertise to faculty setting up their systems, advising on current industry needs, and contributing to curriculum
development.
One of the most effective ways for Partners to get to know the best students is to get in the classroom themselves.
Partners can offer to speak to classes about career opportunities or as subject matter experts.
“We have several Partners that teach entire classes at their local universities,” explains Katie. “In this instance,
they get to know the students directly and know their abilities before the recruiting process begins.”
START AN INTERNSHIP PROGRAMAnother great way to get to know the best students and attract them to your organization is to start an internship
program. Interns can add value and energy to your organization at a low cost. Consider working with your academic
contacts to set up a program for college credit so that it adds to students’ transcripts.
“Internships are a great way to observe the student before making a long-term commitment in order to find the
best fit,” Katie says. “Interns are also likely to want to stay with an employer after an internship ends, making for a
short and successful recruiting process.”
If offering a full internship is not an option for your organization, consider offering job shadowing and mentorship
opportunities through your school contacts.
“The more students understand what careers in the Microsoft Dynamics channel look like, the more they’re likely
to choose that path,” explains Katie.
CONNECT WITH COLLEGE CAREER OFFICESAt the most basic level, casting your net by connecting with your local colleges’ career offices is a simple way to
begin attracting college graduates. Most college career offices maintain a job and internship posting board that you
can leverage. These career offices can also help you participate in campus career fairs and related campus events.
“In the end, it’s all about getting connected in your community,” concludes Katie. “Your efforts will help build
your brand in the region, increase the visibility of Microsoft Dynamics, and influence future business decision
makers.”
The Microsoft Dynamics Academic Alliance provides free software and support to educational institutions who
want to use Microsoft Dynamics ERP and CRM software in their curriculum. The Academic Alliance also cultivates
and supports relationships between member institutions and Microsoft Dynamics Partners and customers to
connect businesses with students interested in pursuing Microsoft Dynamics–related careers. To learn more, visit

ESTABLISHED
2004
The Partner Channel (TPC): Tell us
about the road that led to Nexonia.
Neil Wainwright (NW): I was trained
as a software engineer back in the
mid ’80s and worked for a number of
dot-com companies, but I caught the
entrepreneurial bug early on. It always
bothered me during those years that
the companies I worked for never had
good time-and-expense solutions.
About 13 years ago, I was having a
beer with my co-worker, Pascal Paradis-
Théberge, after playing beach volleyball
– I was much younger then – and we
decided to start a business together.
Soon after, we left our jobs, built
our product, and have bootstrapped
Nexonia to become the stable and
flexible platform that it is today,
offering expense reports, timesheets,
PO, and AP.
We’ve always been a software as a service (SaaS) product even back when the
world didn’t know what SaaS was. Then about seven years ago, we moved into
mobile. We were proud to be one of the very first 552 apps on Apple’s App Store.
And actually, we were the first and only expense management app back then.
TPC: Oh, we love those stories; it sounds like it was meant to be! Did you have
a vision of what the company has turned into today?
NW: Well, our first goal was to build the product in six months, sell to Google,
and retire, but both Pascal and I have a passion for delighting our customers with
our products and services, so it didn’t exactly work out that way. After 13 years in
business, we have almost 100 employees, two locations, and six products. We’ve
never really had a growth target. We focus on making sure our customers are happy
and by nature, we grow quickly at about 80 to 100 percent a year.
TPC: That’s awesome! How exactly do you delight your customers with your
products and services?
NW: We’re always saying “yes” to our clients’ requests and suggestions. It’s about
them, not us, and we spend a lot of time on our product BECAUSE of our customers,
never losing sight of that end goal.
A unique thing about us is if a customer comes to us wanting a new integration
Neil Wainwright, CEO
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
“The service from the Nexonia team
throughout the implementation
process was exemplary. The expense
report mobile and web-based
product is easy to use and teach.
And, although users were quite
apprehensive using new technology
at first, we have only heard positive
comments from our staff.”
– Dwight Overturf,
The Risk Management Association
Delighting Customers with Unbeatable Integrations
VALUED PARTNER
48 FALL 2015 | THEPARTNERCHANNEL.COM
with Microsoft Dynamics GP, we listen to what they want, and we build it, but
we do not charge them for our work to ultimately make the product better for
them through the integration. If our customers aren’t going to charge us for
their good questions and ideas, we won’t charge them for implementing them.
We’ve had two customers request very specific features, and they insisted on
paying us, but we insisted they didn’t. As soon as we create a barrier with our
customer needs, that’s when it becomes a struggle to keep them delighted with
our services.
TPC: What a great mantra to have, and it ties nicely into this issue’s theme
of collaboration. Working in partnership with your clients to create better
products is the ultimate example of working together. Can you share specifics
on one of those instances?
NW: We recently built an automated integration to synchronize 10 segments in a
chart of accounts with dimensions and relations between them. There was another
instance where we auto provisioned users from vendor records so that changes are
automatic. Everything synchronizes automatically and also by the click of a button.
We’re also working with clients more to keep us a customer-centric company by
launching a full Net Promoter Score® (NPS) survey that gauges the strength of our
customer relationships. It’s a global standard survey that will help us prove just how
important our clients really are to us.
TPC: So what type of collaboration do you have with other Microsoft Dynamics
Partners?
NW: It’s very humbling to us to work with about 80 to 100 VARs. We see this growing
significantly because when a VAR recommends us, their customer ends up being
happy, and that speaks volumes. We provide a positive experience – which reflects
well on the VAR – as well as unbeatable integrations with their Microsoft Dynamics
solutions. We sincerely walk the walk. So many have given us the stamp of approval,
and we’re very proud of the VAR community with which we work.
TPC: What would you say sets the Microsoft Dynamics Partner community
apart from the rest?
NW: They know the products inside and out and are very smart about Microsoft
Dynamics and what it can do. They are also simply really nice people – friendly,
smart, and hardworking. It’s a collaborative community that we have the pleasure
to work in.
TPC: Is there anything else you want to share with our readers?
NW: Let us know what you want to see from us! We are always looking to make a
better company and a better solution.
A unique thing
about us is if a
customer comes to
us wanting a new
integration with
Microsoft Dynamics
GP, we listen to
what they want, and
we build it, but we
do not charge them
for our work to
ultimately make the
product better for
them through the
integration.
