If one of the goals of Microsoft is to make the current, substantial customer base feel more confident about the future of their ERP and CRM investments then it should require all its PR and marketing people to be trained by Dave O'Hara. Mr O'Hara has managed to talk up both legacy (a term I am still not that comfortable with) and cloud systems without taking away anything from either. Prior to this have not seen much in the way of real, positive speak about our systems from Microsoft C-level or managers. Hopefully this is a case of someone finally being able to put this into words rather than just one man's opinion. For today though, I am taking this as a positive from Redmond. Microsoft take this talk to heart and do more than support our systems. Help your partners continue to sell the non-cloud stuff for those prospects looking for new system AND not interested in cloud. Admitting that there are existing customers not into the cloud is the first step toward recognizing that there are a lot of potential customers not interested as well. Also, make sure the on premise solutions are not arbitrarily shorted of new, useful features in future releases in order to push us toward cloud offerings. Doing these things would eliminate almost all anxiety for us old, existing customers. Have a wonderful holiday season everyone Jeff Frye Systems Analyst Hunt Brothers Pizza
