BREAKING NEWS: Inside Microsoft Dynamics
Converts to All Digital Format
Effective immediately,
Inside Microsoft Dynamics is switching to an all
digital, email subscription format. While response to
the printed magazine has been great, a purely digital
publication will allow us to deliver Microsoft Dynamics
news and information on a more timely schedule. In
addition, eliminating 5000+ printed magazines has a very
positive environmental impact.
News will be continuously updated while feature article,
case studies, reviews and other information will be
delivered via quarterly emails.
If you have been receiving the printed publication and
have not formally subscribed, please do so now to make
sure we have your correct email address. |
