Resco.next 2018 Prague: our experiences

Admiral Dynamics was present at resco.next 2018 in Prague on November 15-16. Resco.next is an educational conference organised by Resco and designed for all IT and business professionals interested in the Resco Mobile CRM solutions. Both Marga Van Laere and Koen Van de Vyver participated at the business mobility event of the year to get in-depth product knowledge about Resco Mobile CRM for Microsoft Dynamics 365/CRM.

Curious how they experienced the 2-day conference? Read Koen’s report of the resco.next 2018:

Get to know Resco Mobile CRM

“Let’s kick off with some interesting stats. This background information will give you a better understanding of Resco Mobile CRM.

Currently, Resco has 2.200 company customers (51% Europe, 39% North-America, 8% New-Zealand, 2% other countries), 150.000 licensed mobile users, with an average daily use of 11 sessions a day, 9 minutes and 42 seconds per session, which totals in a staggering 1 hour 42 minutes a day.

No wonder that Resco.next 2018 attracts more than 200 attendees from over 24 countries, representing 92 companies and enjoying 28 sessions in 2 days. These sessions are divided in 2 tracks: a sales-oriented business track and a more technical track. Of course, there’s plenty of time to network in order to get to know the team behind Resco. As well as having one-on-one conversations with the Resco engineers and learn from partners and even competitors.

So what are my key take-aways from Resco.next 2018?

• First of all, Resco will invest heavily in partnerships. The partner enablement program lets business partners step up their game and is an example of their partner’s focus. However, from a partner perspective, the most interesting news came from Resco’s announcement. In the future, Resco will deliver a robust mobile solution to Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Field Service.

• Secondly, Resco’s road map looks both interesting and promising. Aditionally, Resco will further developtheir Route Planner and Inspections modules. Their functionalities are a great addition to the Dynamics 365/CRM stack. Which makes me extremely happy as a Dynamics consultant. Moreover, Resco will push out the HTML version of the Woodford configuration tool. This brings them back to the present, as the old Silverlight version depreciated in 2020.
• Last but not least, Resco confirmed its status as the leading mobile solution for Dynamics CRM and Salesforce. The inspirational sessions hosted by partners and with the Mobility Success Panel made that clear. Participants of the panel were Gustaf Westerlund, Jeremy Higgins, Ilya Naroditskiy, Daniel Buzatu, Nils Oltenau and myself (Koen Van de Vyver). These panelists shared some of their insights. Moreover, they also gave sound advice on things you should (re)think of before implementing Resco as a mobile solution.”

As always, the resco.next conference was truly educational and inspirational. Definitely worth participating! The next European edition is in Rome: Admiral Dynamics will be there for sure.
