harnessing the power of the integrated supply chain
Tuesday, October 12th, 2010 | 2pm PST | FREE Webinar | REGISTER
Many see the challenge of an integrated supply chain as a software challenge. However, it is more than that and also requires both the buyer and supplier to develop their respective internal processes. Why?—because only appropriate business processes, in place and operating effectively with the right software, can ensure the right information is provided by the buyer to the seller and appropriate departments.
Only effective business process combined wiht the right software can make the integrated supply chain work. Without effective processes and software in place, the integrated supply chain will fail—possibly spectacularly.
Join our webinar and learn the importance in supply chain management of:
-
Eliminating non-value added activities in the buy-sell relationship
-
Minimizing inventory investments at all levels within the supply chain
-
Making sure the right part is at the right place at the right time, in the right configuration, thereby eliminating assembly, wait, and rework time
-
Allowing sellers to schedule work using the buyer’s actual requirements
-
Accessing a common data base eliminating disagreements over what data is correct
-
Knowing where things really are within a process and where an order stands at any point in the process (including administrative processes)
-
Look up available-to-promise and capable-to-promise quantities, inbound shipment timing, and production plans

webcast #1: Streamlining Your Document Approval Process
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010 | 2pm PST| Free Online Webinar | REGISTER
Studies show processing a single purchase order can cost over $75.00. With the automated NAV document approval process, you can cut that in half, AT LEAST!
Paper-based approvals can slow business to a crawl when critical documents such as sales and purchase orders are lost, misplaced, misrouted, or left sitting in inboxes when approvers are out of the office. Sales and Purchase Document Approval in Microsoft Dynamics NAV speeds order processing and helps make sure the right people are making approvals with e-mail notifications for quotes, sales and purchase orders, invoices, credit memos, blanket orders, and other important documents. Documents can reach approvers wherever they get e-mail, so your business can keep moving without delays.
Learn how the powerful functionality in Microsoft Dynamics NAV can help you streamline your document approval process and keep your critical business processes moving.
Each participant will receive a copy of "Why Systems Fail: An Insider's Guide to Successful IT Projects."

Business intelligence is a strategy, not a product. Join us for our webcast and see how implementing Microsoft Dynamics NAV and a business intelligence strategy can help you change the direction of your organization. Make informed decisions by learning to exploit your own data and information.
Microsoft’s vision for business intelligence is to help drive businesses to better performance by enabling all decision makers – essentially empowering all employees throughout the organization – to make better decisions. Microsoft provides cross product integration, delivering business intelligence capabilities within Microsoft Office and making its business intelligence offerings scalable so that everyone in the organization is empowered with business intelligence tools.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a good example of this cross-product integration and offers a range of business intelligence capabilities – spanning from built-in reports and wizards, to advanced tools allowing users to gain the insight required to optimize performance across the entire organization. This complete, flexible solution meets the requirements of both small businesses that need easy-to-use, yet effective tools as well as the requirements of larger organizations that need the most technically advanced business intelligence capabilities. Microsoft Dynamics NAV provides flexible business intelligence capabilities and a growth path that helps reinforce and leverage your existing investments.
