Me with Henning Lund of Partner Power International.
Merhaba!
Day One Partner Power International 10th Annual Meeting
Istanbul, Turkey
Well I recovered from my long flight and was ready to go on the first day of the conference.
We had almost 100 partners from all over the world in attendance at the 10th anniversary.
PKF Texas has been a Dynamics NAV partner for 10 years, and we were just awarded our 6th consecutive Certified Gold Partner designation! More to come on that.
Our MC was Morton Lorenzen, Chairman of the Board for PPI.
First up was Poul Kjaer the CEO of PPI who reviewed several exciting developments on PPI. He presented his vision for the future of PPI.
Several new organizations have joined PPI (including PKF Texas) and we reviewed KPIs on 2009 and some early forecasting for 2010.
PPI has an impressive track record on global Dynamics ERP implementations.
Next up was Henning Lund and Annett Hammerich who led a discussion on Facts, Expectations, and Commitment They also reviewed some KPIs on PPI’s win rate, pipeline mgmt, and some tools that have been developed to distinguish us from the rest of the global competition. Excellent presentations and very energetic discussion from all!
The day ended with our Turkish PPI partner, Tradesoft arranging a dinner at the Borsa Restaurant in a very modern and new “Galleria Style” mall. The bus trip was a bit long during rush hour, but the return took less than 20 minutes. The food and the wine was outstanding! I don’t have a clue what I ate, but it was all good.
Tomorrow is customer day and over 20 customers and prospects are planning on attending. This is OUTSTANDING to have this many customers and prospects willing to come and talk with PPI. Doug Kelly with Microsoft will be speaking as well, he leads the Global effort for Dynamics ERP applications.
Sony Music along with 3 other customers will be making the presentation tomorrow.
PPI Creating value through committed partnership.
Hoscakal!
