At Convergence 2006 I met many of the MVPs and bloggers whom I have been corresponding with during my first two months on the job. It is always nice to be able to put a face with a relationship. Here are some of the many people I met in no particular order:
Anne Stanton, president of the Norwich Group, introduced me to many MVPs and partners at the conference. She also moderates the MSCRMStudy User Group on Yahoo. She was quoted in BusinessWeek Online in an article called Making Sense of Sales in March.
Jeffrey Loucks, senior solution architect for Available Technology. Jeff and I talked about the future of Microsoft CRM in relationship to the increasing needs for expertise in a variety of fields. Jeff is an infrustructure guru who knows SQL, Exchange Server, and Dynamics CRM inside and out.
Curt Spanburgh, senior systems engineer, Solutions Consulting Group (SCG). Curt, a music phenom, is an expert in designing extreme CRM solutions. In addition to standard CRM installations, this organization can set up complex solution sets. Next year, we will bring our musical instruments to Convergence 2007.
