As you might know, Microsoft's largest user conference, Convergence took place this week with record attendance topping 10,000.  Management Reporter 2012 was much-anticipated and some of its features are going to really get you excited (well, as excited as you can be about ERP Financial Reporting software).   I was going to miss my FRx (the current financial reporting tool for Dynamics), but with MR 2012, I think I'll miss it a little less.

Check out the details on the next release of Management Reporter (the future for any Dynamics users on FRx).
