The only sense I could make of it was that the large carpet patterns showed the floor was built around adjoining diamonds with the Microsoft area fanning out from a main entrance. Just running through my memory banks and the exhibitor list VAR exhibitors included the following: Archerpoint, Interdyn BMI, Western Computer, I.B.I.S., Columbus [which assuredly booked its usual space before buying BMI], Enavate [the former Project AX], Sikich, Tribridge [which also had a Concerto Cloud Services booth] UXC Eclipse, McGladrey and Sunrise Technologies Armanino, Crowe Horwarth, Merit Solutions, Corporate Renaissance Group and Edgewater Fullscope. Coming from England were HSO and eBecs And there were a variety of CRM companies exhibiting, such as Infinity Info Systems. Now the question—these businesses bought space before it was announced Convergences future will not be Dynamics-centric—is how many will be in New Orleans next year. Even top award-winning VARs are worried about Microsoft's move upstream.
