Today we had the opportunity to view an Acumen webinar of their new features.
Acumen's webinar was different from that of knkPublishing in that they used a fictional business to demonstrate their new functionality.
Thus use of an imaginary business case really made the webinar come alive for attendees and lead to a lively question and answer session at the end of the demo.

knkPublishing Webinar
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to view the knkPublishing webinar for book publishers.
It was a good introduction to the software but it could have been much better as there was little exchange between the presenters and the webinar viewers.
From my perspective;
1. I would have liked to seen current knkPublishing users commenting on how the knkPublishing software has helped their business. There are some really large publishers using knkPublishing, and their participation would have brought a level of shock and awe to the webinar for they have some pretty dramatic stories to tell.
2. There was too much emphasis on the accounting functionality of the core Microsoft Dynamics NAV product, and not enough on each of the publishing specific modules. Sure its great that you can instantly save reports to word or excel or reformat reports, but it would have been more informative if they walked you through a case of a publisher actually using the software to manage the production schedule for a title instead of just showing your screen after screen with a multitude of fields.
