The 4 secrets on why the QBS partner should consider subscription billing from Binary Stream

  1. Keep it all in D365 Business Central – don’t add more systems

The more systems involved in your subscription billing processes, the more complex it becomes and the more possible points of failure there are. For many, this means manually entering data into their ERP from other sources, which may include spreadsheets or third-party applications …

  1. Achieve better visibility of revenue streams

The ability to measure your revenue streams is key to mastering subscription billing. That means you need to achieve as much visibility into these streams as possible, have a clear understanding of each customer’s usage, and be able to forecast revenue for future months easily …

  1. Make IFRS and ASC compliance easy

Having to devote time and attention to ensuring regulatory compliance is necessary for all businesses, and organizations that deal with recurring revenue have their own set of rules to grapple with …

  1. QBS distributes Binary Stream via her CSP Marketplace

QBS Marketplace & ExtensionsAgent Webinar

Join us for a 1-hour webinar on QBS Marketplace – your platform for making money on your IP
“Why another marketplace?” we hear you ask – and that is a very fair point – the market is crawling with marketplaces…

At QBS we are always taking our partners challenges serious and our continuous focus is to help you grow your revenue and lower your costs. That’s why we had to react when we learned that partners, owning IP or dedicated ISV partners, have a hard time really monetizing their solutions. On top of that, it’s also become clear that a solution built with Extensions on top of Business Central SaaS is vulnerable to misuse. We couldn’t have that. That’s why we’re extremely excited to introduce our QBS Marketplace with the built-in ExtensionAgent, providing a secure and flexible way for you to offer your IP to the reselling channel and their customers.

Reach out to the biggest Microsoft channel of Business applications partners and fastest-growing installed base of Business Central SaaS customers.

Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement versus PowerApps

Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement versus PowerApps – when to use what? Join us for a webinar to get a better understanding of the differences – and the similarities.

The Microsoft Power Platform combines Flow, Power BI and PowerApps. You may have the first to nailed – but what about that last one? PowerApps? Is this a useful tool for the senior user to build new ‘no code’ applications as many people probably still think it is? Actually no – not just that: there is much more to it! PowerApps is built on the exact same technology as the Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement products are. Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement for Sales and its sisters are in fact Model Driven PowerApps.
All very well, but how can we use this technology and when do we choose what? In this session, we walk through several different real-life scenario’s using example builds to demonstrate the awesome power of the platform.

Get updated on – Inspire, Directions, eXtreme.

Every year there are a number of global or regional events that are relevant for the Dynamics partner channel – and in case you not in the fortunate situation where you simply book a ticket to each of them – which one to choose? Or what if you don’t have time to participate at all?

As a QBS partner you’re NOT left in the dark if you don’t have time to participate. At QBS group we participate in all of these events, Microsoft Inspire, eXtreme and Directions, with a number of people. We participate not only as QBS people – but also as representatives of the entire QBS partner community. Speaking our case – and bringing back the news and information that we all need to keep on forefront with our business.

We will keep you informed in various ways. Blogs, videos, webinars – and for Directions EMEA we are also producing our well-known business report providing a more in-depth look at the here and now status of the Dynamics business.

This page will always list the news from the most recent events – as well as list registrations for upcoming update events.

Create more leads and win more deals through customer education

These days, IT innovation develops faster than ever before in history. While that opens great opportunities for organisations all over the world, it also creates a lot of stress since failure is not a realistic option (anymore).

Here are some of the dilemma’s for your prospects and customers:

  • We know we must modernise our business processes to stay relevant. But how to change the organisation? And what is the best timing?
  • How can we measure the expected continuity of the vendors on our shortlist?
  • How can we motivate our team members to put full energy into the project?
  • Should we migrate to the cloud now or is it better to wait?
  • We want our staff to be more agile in their thinking and their ability to change. But how do we get there? And what is the exemplary behavior needed from the management?
  • How can we avoid that Digital Transformation turns into ‘just another IT project’ with even more complexity?
  • How can modern IT tools support us in putting our customers first?

Where are your customers today?

In order to keep up with the competition, your projects must be successful in the first attempt. With a short Time-to-Value. Unfortunately, most of your existing and future SMB customers don’t have the knowledge, the persuasion nor the power to take the best decisions. Most of them select and implement for the first or second time in their lives. As a result, that creates big uncertainty. So it’s no wonder that ‘No Decision’ has developed into everybody’s biggest competitor these days!

Customer education

Modern and innovative Microsoft Dynamics partners focus on educating their customers and help them prepare for Successful Projects. Rather than pushing their solutions. This attitude not only helps them to create more leads and win more deals. It also secures the right support from their customers’ top-management when implementing these solutions.

About this webinar

In this free, 40 minutes webinar, Guus Krabbenborg will share his observations and the results he has achieved by his extensive customer education activities. He will inspire you regarding the best way to approach customers and prospects. Next to that, he will also position three different education formats. And shares the options he sees for your company to start delivering one or more of these formats yourself shortly. Guus has been delivering ERP and CRM Masterclasses to potential buyers ever since 2005.

This is a webinar that you definitely don’t want to miss!
