Why and how you should care about it

We know that no business app is ever really complete. There are a lot of great SAAS products out there for business applications. Think of Dynamic 365 for Sales / Marketing / Business Central and so on… But we all know that what you buy off-the-shelf, rarely solves hundred percent of the problems that your business needs or rarely does it in a way that the users want to use their application.

That’s why there is PowerSuite. To become familiar with it and know the possibilities,QBS helps to inform you about the product itself and the workshop we deliver around it.

In this webinar we cover:

  1. The opportunities and possibilities of;
    1. Canvas PowerApps

QBS is constantly paying attention to help partners keep up-to-date with the latest Microsoft technologies. With this in mind, facing an operational need of InfoStudi, QBS has promoted and encouraged the creation of an App, rather than a simple personalization for the single customer. We have provided all the information, the access to specific Microsoft documentation, instructions and guidelines for realize and publish an App on the Microsoft App Source portal. Our role has also been to provide main technical indications on how to implement an extension.

Finally, QBS supported the partner to create a specific landing page and to start marketing activities to promote the App in the Dynamics ecosystem

In this webinar Simone Rosa, InfoStudi will explain his story how we was able to publish his app for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Simone Rosa -MS Dynamics NAV Delivery Manager

“Info Studi is very thankful to QBS for the given help and invites every partner to look at NAVIGATE PRO, a graphical add-in tool for a faster navigation through documents.”

QBS Talks – Organisational Change Management – The Key to Project Success!

These days, Dynamics 365 projects are nothing more than change projects! With a need for a vision, business goals, good internal communication and intensive leadership involvement. Unfortunately, most Dynamics partners still consider their projects as technical projects. Just like the management of their customers. With a strong focus on functions and features. With contacts on the operational and tactical levels only. And with loads of customizations.

Your customers are unexperienced in ERP and CRM implementations and they hate change – just like any human being on this planet. This often leads to lots of disappointment and a huge waste of time, money and energy. Good Organizational Change Management (OCM) is crucial for project success! Especially when you want to deliver several parts of the Dynamics 365 concept! Ideally, this Change process starts at the strategic level of your customer’s organization. This session is all about implementing this organizational change approach in your projects. After this QBS Talks session you’ll walk away with a good understanding of how you can use OCM to create project success.

Stop Selling D365 Licenses – Start Selling Successful D365 Projects!

Most people responsible for selecting a new CRM or ERP solution do this for the first or second time in their lives. As a result, they tend to make all the beginner mistakes. Most prospective customers search for a CRM or ERP license with a bundle of services at the lowest possible price. But does that really make them happy? Does that make their business more successful?

You can help your customers become successful if you STOP selling Dynamics 365 licenses and services! And learn how to sell and deliver Successful Projects. Are you active in marketing, sales or delivery? And do you want to understand the recipe for delivering successful D365 projects? Then you definitely don’t want to miss this session!
