Dynamics GP 2016
It looks like the highly anticipated release of the HTML 5 client that was announced at the 2015 Convergence for GP 2015 R3 is now being referred to as GP 2016. The time table hasn't slipped much and I expect we'll hear more about it at next week's reIMAGINE conference in Fargo. The roadmap at Convergence 2015 looked like this: Now according to a post from Dynamics Code Blocks during a GP event, the roadmap has changed to reveal two releases for GP 2016.

We all have "that" server and most likely it's running Windows 2003 and you haven't had to touch it (except Windows Update of course). Support ended for our beloved server operating system on July 14th, 2015. With that, there are no longer any security updates and you put your system at risk. Depending on what your Windows 2003 server is doing, replacing it might not be too big of a deal. However; if it's running critical services for your network like Active Directory, DNS, or other...
