Written on behalf of Ilana Smith:

Hi everyone,

My name is Ilana Smith and I’m a program manager in the Dynamics NAV product group. In our team, we’ve recently rolled-out an initiative, sponsored by our General Manager Darren Laybourn, to increase our involvement in the vibrant NAV Community. We know how much great conversation is occurring about NAV, and we want to join in. Hopefully, we can be helpful and provide useful information; we think we’ll learn a bunch.

Members of the NAV team have always been pretty actively talking to customers and partners (we couldn’t build a product that met your needs if we didn’t). We’re going to amp this up, but more importantly, we’re going to make it more obvious. One of the things you might expect to see is participants on this site clearly marked as from Microsoft. (And for those Microsofties out there who are already members, contact Luc and he’ll update your account.) There will also be a lot more of us reading the forums, even if we’re not posting.

Don’t worry about being mean and scaring us off – positive feedback is nice, but negative feedback is useful.

If you’re coming to Convergence in beautiful Copenhagen in October, come and say hi.

Thanks,
Ilana Smith

Thank YOU, for joining this community. And now you have posted your first message already

Fantastic news
Welcome to mibuso Ilana (and everyone else), make yourself at home.

Welcome everyone from Microsoft.

I have to be more carefull in my posts.

Welcome Ilana! Glad Microsoft is getting more involved in the community.

Also: very welcome! Hope to see much Microsoft involvement.

and I've already seen some Microsoft/Belgium-involvement .

Maybe we should have a area in mibuso for Microsoft so that we can put suggestion and question directed at them.

That way we can get official responses on them?

This is a public forum, where people (not corporations) help eachother out. As far as all of us are concerned, this is where people go to ask and answer questions, and sometimes the odd rumor, not for official corporate communications. Some people are better informed than others, but it's still just a public forum.

YOu can post suggestions ass part of the Microsoft Community

Forum->New->Suggestion for Microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/Businesssoluti ... g=en&cr=US

getting an answer is a different story

Exactly. That is a one way communication, and I don't anybody from MS is reading it. or responding.

having a separate place, would make it easier for MS to respond.

Not really. Posting your suggestion here with no one responding is the same thing.

I guess the reason they are participating in the online forum is to have a feeling of what is really going on.
