    Recently at Microsoft Inspire, Satya Nadella spoke about tech intensity. He described it as a fusion of cultural mindset and business processes that rewards the development and propagation of digital capabilities that create end-to-end digital feedback loops, tear down data silos and unleash information flows to trigger insights and  predictions, automated workflows and intelligent services.

    He spoke about how companies that focus on growth through technology have a better chance of surviving during times such as these. This message is particularly crucial for Microsoft partners to understand. Partners are the vehicle to distribute this message to the marketplace. Talk to your customers about Tech Intensity. Stress the importance of innovation. In our industry tradition is not rewarded and the move to the intelligent cloud is here. Partners must focus their efforts on moving customers away from the traditional ERPs and focus on getting them onto Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Innovation is key to survival.  Growing through technology is more critical now than ever before. Microsoft understands that Tech Intensity is not cheap.
