      <description><![CDATA[Having three of the major Dynamics conferences in the same month of fall made October an extremely busy one for the US Flintfox team. Luckily for our EMEA team, the 2013 European versions of these conferences are spread over three separate months, starting with the AX and CRM User groups in Rome at the end of January, finishing with Directions in Vienna early September.
Todd Sterrenberg outlines some of the highlights for him of the recent US events - the AX & CRM Summits, eXtremeCRM and NAV Directions.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Paul Coote has been assisting organisations with their financial reporting requirements from when colour output was green or orange text on your screen. These days he is a fan of keeping the GL for what it is really for, and leaving it to the modern BI tools that are available to do multi dimensional summarized and detailed analysis..

In today’s blog he sets out the reasons for this change in approach being a practical alternative with the widespread availability and versatility of multidimensional tools such as Microsoft SQL Server and Analysis Services.]]></description>

      <guid>http://www.flintfox.com/best-practice-on-list-price-build-up#When:02:12:00Z</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Steve Peppler discusses how customers want a list price, arrived at using many elements, to be delivered consistently and accurately during sales order entry/invoicing to arrive at a net price.  Complications soon arise in most systems if you really wish to start with a different list price based on any number of combinations of items, delivery methods, ship from sites, ship-to locations, packaging configurations etc.?     How do you need to price to increase your competitiveness and profitability.

His recommendations are based upon over 20 years of implementing advanced pricing systems to companies operating in a wide range of industries - from hi-tech to CPG, from medical devices to food, beverage and plumbing distribution - he's had his sleeves rolled up in them all.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Gordon Darling is responsible for the Flintfox TPM for Dynamics CRM product, having previously built a number of solutions based upon Dynamics CRM. Today he outlines the reasons why he considers that CPG companies attempting to manage their trade promotions using spreadsheets are selling themselves short. Indeed they are probably slowing up their growth by using a cheap, yet in many ways inappropriate tool, to manage around 17% of their revenue - the funds they would typically channel to trade promotional activities. A whole lot of money to manage without any inbuilt controls, auditability, scalability...]]></description>
