Training – No Ifs, Ands, or Buts About It!

Training. It’s essential to any person who strives to be successful. Why? Because training allows you to expand your knowledge and skillset in one or multiple areas so that you can better excel at that particular subject. Many people have different views on training: negative and positive. Whichever they may be, there is always a reason for training. Here, I will list three of the most important reasons you should attend KTL’s User Conference Training on May 18th.

Five Great Ways to Maximize your Day at the KTL Solutions User Conference

Having attended, but not spoken at the KTL User Conferences of the past, I have a unique perspective on attendee observations. Without the time constraints imposed by presenting at sessions, I get a chance to sit with and chat with attendees, go over things at lunch and generally “kibitz” with everyone while at the conference.

Power BI- Empower the User Conference Recap

This year at KTL’s empower the User Conference one of the hottest topics was Microsoft’s Power BI. No surprise here after it was one of the most popular categories at Microsoft Dynamic’s Convergence back in March.

For those who haven’t heard of Power BI before here is a short synopsis. Power BI is an excel add-in tool made up of 4 components: Power Pivot, Power Query, Power View, and Power Map. Power Pivot and Query are used for data preparation while power view and map are used for data visualization. These tools can take large amounts of data from virtually any system and harness it for real-time, powerful analytics. One of the huge differentiators of Power BI from other analytics tools is that you can combine resources from multiple data centers. Typically, when people want to see the profitability of an organization they look at the financial data. However, this is not always the only factor, especially in today’s world that is driven by technology and social media.

2015 KTL Office Holiday Party

On Friday, December 12^th, KTL Solutions continued on with their yearly office holiday party tradition. Renting out a cozy room in an Italian Restaurant not far from their office, the vast majority of KTL employees began filling the space with their significant others trailing behind. It wasn’t long before the open bar was packed to the nines with good cheers and chatter from all that were welcome.

Pleased with the outcome of the attendees (employees, family, friends, and many local clients), Kim and Tim ushered everyone along to tend to their seated 3 course dinners. The room was filled with holiday cheer as the candlelight set a warm and family atmosphere, the food left a delicious aroma lingering in the air, and the laughter reminded us that KTL is a family unit powered by it’s devoted employees.

Convergence 2014 Wrap Up

I was not overly enthused about returning to Atlanta for a 3^rd time, however, Convergence was just as informative as ever. I joined the other 12,000 attendees taking in as many sessions as possible and talking to as many users/partners/MSFT people as I could. There was plenty of excitement around Dynamics CRM, GP, and AX. This year I found myself gravitating towards CRM, as well as Microsoft’s new Power BI tools within Excel.
