Dear colleague,  On a considerably more serious note, I’ve been reminded recently of the magnitude of the global Malaria problem. Please read the article below for more information on this truly essential topic. In the meantime, I’m happy to announce we will play our part by donating 5% of the revenue from our Essentials series to the The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.   

 Sincerely,

  
Richard Knudson

Our popular new Dynamics CRM Essentials series is just one of the ways we’ve responded to our customers’ evolving requirements. These one-day live online sessions give you the most important skills you need in an incredibly efficient format. Currently we’ve got three separate sessions, each of which runs monthly. There’s still time to register for this week’s session, Building Dynamics CRM Workflows, and if you need to understand how to put these to work for your organization, I recommend you join us this Thursday!

The first decade of the 21st century ended with our worst recession since the Great Depression, so as I wish you well for 2010 I’ll also draw some lessons from 2009. Even in a recession there are pockets of growth, and growth aside, many organizations used the last couple of years to shore up, get more efficient, and focus on the essentials. The rapid growth of the Dynamics CRM platform is a testament to this, and my company’s complete focus on the platform is optimized for this vibrant market.

 

 

 

What’s Really Essential?

If you look up “essential” on www.merriam-webster.com , here’s one of the definitions you’ll find: “of the utmost importance: basic, indispensable, necessary “. My son Jack has been raising funds for Malaria research, and certainly that fits the definition of “essential” better than anything I’m doing. The scope of the Malaria problem was driven home to me recently, when a friend of my family died in Chicago from the disease. Malaria kills almost a million people every year, renders a significant part of Africa’s arable land unusable, and puts a drag on economic growth in regions that need it the most.

Fighting Malaria is not only of the utmost importance, but effective methods are available and only lack resources for their implementation. Here are just a few of the many respected foundations involved in fighting the disease:

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

The Malaria Vaccine Initiative

The Roll Back Malaria Foundation

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria

For every registration in our Dynamics CRM Essentials series in 2010, we will donate 5% of the fee to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, so register today to make a small contribution to an essential cause.
