14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft Connect is THE place to access for all customers that want to play an active role in the shaping of the upcoming release of Dynamics GP. Early adopters involved in the testing process of next-generation Microsoft products are undoubtedly well aware of the key importance that Microsoft Connect plays for the development of upcoming technologies from the Redmond company.
Connect is used to centralize feedback from testers, with the software giant monitoring all input from members.
This is also the case for Dynamics GP "12", with Microsoft’s Pam Misialek pointing out that the feature set of the solution can be tweaked on Microsoft Connect, while it’s still contouring.
“For those of you who think that MS Connect is a black hole and nothing happens after you submit it, you are wrong. MS Connect is the primary source for product suggestions and is important.
“Please take the time to enter your product suggestions and vote for your favorite features. As a community, you can make Dynamics GP "12" a valuable release,” Misialek said.
In order to create a Microsoft Connect account all that users need is a valid Windows Live ID.
The site is by no means focused on Dynamics alone, and instead covers a range of Microsoft technologies, so that early adopters are bound to find something to test and provide feedback on.
“It the tool our development team uses to organize and prioritize product suggestions. It is the primary source for the feature list for Microsoft Dynamics GP "12." Our development team meets every two weeks and reviews the new entries.
“Last week I met with development and we walked the feature list for Dynamics GP "12." There were some features I get asked for on occasion that were not on the list. They were ranked low in MS Connect, some are not even in there,” Misialek added.
