Put Your System to Work
Time:   2:45 pm - 4:00 pm  Room:  Horizon
You’ve heard about workflows and how they can help you work more efficiently.  But do you really understand how to put them to work for you? This session will take a deep dive into understanding workflows and how they can truly automate your processes.  We’ll cover how activities trigger workflows (and vice versa), using workflow with queues for resource allocation, and managing cases.  You’ll also see some real-life examples of workflows being used by other customers – learn how they were developed and how they’re impacting system users. 
Stay In Touch, Linked Up, and Plugged In with SharePoint for Members

The Power of Choice (Cloud Computing)
Time:   1:15 pm - 2:30 pm  Room:  Horizon
More agility.  More freedom.  More choice.  Less cost.  Sounds great, right? Attend this session to learn about Protech’s cloud solutions and services, and discover what it means to have the power of choice.  Rather than an ‘all or nothing’ approach, you’re able to utilize a hybrid model of on-premises and off-premises resources in a way that best suits the needs of your association - allowing you to focus your resources on serving your members, not managing technology.  We’ll explore various deployment scenarios and you’ll hear from our hosting partner, Cetrom, about the benefits of hosting, including cost savings, remote access, top of the line security, and 99.9% guaranteed uptime.     
You Know the Goal – Now How Do You Get There? (Identifying Requirements)
Time:   1:15 pm - 2:30 pm  Room:  Hemisphere B
One of the challenges in creating new requirements is that everyone on your team looks at it from a different angle.  This session will help you develop a documented process for creating requirements that takes each of these angles into account right from the beginning.  We’ll focus on what you really need the system to do (the output), how your data enters the system (the input)…and everything that happens in between.  We’ll also explore best practices for developing and executing testing scenarios, and share lessons learned about the biggest pitfalls to avoid in requirements development. 
You’re One in a Million: Unleashing the Power of CRM
Time:   10:30 am - 11:45 am  Room:  Horizon
Did you know that there are over one million Microsoft Dynamics® CRM users in the world? That’s a big number…and it means big opportunities for you! This session will help you understand what others are doing with CRM and how you can maximize your ROI by leveraging the work that others have done to customize and tailor their solutions.  We’ll tap into using tools like Microsoft CustomerSource and PinPoint to find and evaluate tools being developed by others, Accelerators and other freeware that can extend your solution and blogs and communities that will connect you with other CRM users.
