Famous Brands Using Microsoft Dynamics - Name Dropping at Convergence 2013

There was quite a bit of name dropping and product placement during Convergence 2013 - the Microsoft Dynamics annual user convention. There are some well-known brands and organizations running their businesses with Microsoft Dynamics ERP and Dynamics CRM products.

The attendees at Convergence 2013 got to benefit – we all snacked on Chobani yogurt with Driscoll’s Berries while drinking Talking Rain Ice beverages and checking out the Formula 1 car. I just wish we had all gotten Revlon and Pandora gift bags!
