ReQlogic Breaks Down LogicBlocks + Channel Trends

WEBVTT
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.040
Well, welcome to this episode of ISV Talks.
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:08.800
I'm Karen Livingston from Dynamics Connections and your host of ISV Talks Podcast.
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.919
On this episode, we have the team from RecLogic.
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:13.199
Welcome everyone.
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:14.080
Thanks, Karen.
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:14.800
Yeah.
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.039
So let's go ahead and do a round random.
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:18.480
Introduce yourself.
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.320
Tell us about your role and your time in the Dynamics Channel.
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:24.160
So, Tasha, do you want to start?
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:25.039
Yeah.
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:30.320
So my name is Tasha Ansbah, and I have been in the Dynamics Channel since 2018.
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:37.840
I started off with Dynamics SL support and saw Business Central in an extension that we had and that they were building at that point in time.
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:39.600
And I fell in love with Business Central.
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:48.399
I focus heavily on project accounting and project-based organizations, which is my role here currently with RecLogic.
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:53.359
I'm helping build a roadmap and we just got done with our Project Logic solution.
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:54.320
Thank you.
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:55.119
All right.
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:57.200
So, Beth, do you want to introduce yourself?
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:58.320
Sounds good.
00:00:58.479 --> 00:00:59.840
Hey, my name is Beth Harvey.
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:02.320
I've been in the channel since 1997.
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:04.719
I started at Great Plains in Fargo.
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.840
I still live right outside of Fargo on a farm, so love it.
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:09.599
I'm born and raised here in the Midwest.
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:11.920
Love Great Plains, love dynamics.
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.799
I've been working on the ICV side now for many, many years.
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.719
I've joined the team at Rec Logic in April of last year.
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.519
Super excited to be able to be a part of Rec Logic.
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:31.599
And my role here is really to help partners, enable partners to understand who Rec Logic is, what we do, what our future is, what we're continuing to roll out with the product.
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:38.959
And then to be the point of contact for any questions, quotes, anything along that line, I'm their person to go to here at Rec Logic.
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:39.760
Perfect.
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:40.799
And Sean.
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:42.560
Yeah, well, thanks, Carol.
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:43.599
Sean Dorward.
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.920
Lucky enough to call Tasha and Beth, my colleagues here at Rec Logic.
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.239
I'm the managing director of Rec Logic.
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:59.359
Now for coming up on three years, and I've been in the Dynamics channel for almost 30 years, which is painful to say out loud, but also true at the same time.
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:10.240
But that is just a testament to how much I enjoy what we all do, whether it's ERP implementations or solving business problems through solutions like RecLogic.
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:11.199
Great.
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.560
So very experienced team here is what I'm hearing.
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:16.479
So welcome.
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.599
Sean, tell us a little bit about the company.
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:20.479
How did it start?
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.560
Kind of give a company overview.
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:23.919
Yeah, I would love to.
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.280
So RecLogic has been around for about 30 years as an ISV solution.
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:41.199
Started out many moons ago as filling a void or a gap for dynamics GP in requisition workflow, the approvals, the pre-approvals for purchasing.
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:45.520
And it's an interesting story, at least I think it is for myself.
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:52.560
I remember being a GP consultant, you know, literally a floppy disk toting consultant.
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.159
Yes, that's true.
00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:03.360
And working with RecLogic as a solution for businesses who needed that kind of procurement control for requisitions and requests to purchase.
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:18.159
And over the years, using RecLogic, folks would ask me year over year, they'd say, you know, what would you recommend for these controls, these risk mitigation controls for requisitions and the rope with robust workflow?
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.719
And as a consultant, I would say rec Logic.
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.240
And usually what would happen next, Carol, is they'd say, why?
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.199
And I would simply say, because it just works.
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:35.919
And as a consultant, that's really hard to kind of say that because you're putting your reputation with your client on the line.
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.000
But over the years, it just was true every single time.
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:51.520
And so I've been fortunate enough years later to be in a position to help take Rec Logic into a more advantageous and modern time and through Business Central.
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:56.879
So the journey that the Rec Logic team has been on, it's been with partners over the past.
00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:02.159
So if you've thought Rec Logic went away, we won't hold that against you, but we certainly didn't.
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:12.000
And we're here and we've we've revitalized the team, we've revamped how we do things, and we've even broadened what it is that we do and what we bring to the market and what gaps we fill for folks.
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.080
And we're excited to talk about that today.
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.879
The team is just full of experience.
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:25.279
We've got, you know, customers all over the globe who have been happy with RecLogic for decades, and we look to continue to do that for the business central community.
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:26.160
Great.
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:26.720
Yeah.
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.399
And so what are the unique features of RecLogic?
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:31.839
And I know you said you're expanding.
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:33.680
So what are some of those new features?
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:34.240
Right.
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:34.560
Yeah.
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.839
So Rec Logic is requisition management at its core, our flagship product.
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:48.160
And what we talk about there is fraud and risk mitigation, budget controls, and all that really is about complex workflows.
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:52.720
If Sean wants to order a laptop, who has the authority to approve that?
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.680
And what is the budget constraint that's attached to it?
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:01.759
Those sorts of things, creating the separation of responsibility approval within every organization.
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:03.600
That's sort of at its core.
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:09.439
You can go beyond that and use things like expense approvals and PO and three-way matchings.
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:18.160
And I'll I'll save some of our most recent logic blocks, as we call it, the expansion of our model for Tasha and team to talk about.
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:30.160
But what we're really excited about are some of the things that we bring in RecLogic for our customers to use, but now also outside of RecLogic without the dependency of using the requisition platform.
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:38.480
And what I'm talking about there is sort of this end-to-end AP document management process with intelligent data capture that we call Doc Logic.
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:39.759
More on that later.
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.639
But it's really an exciting time for RecLogic.
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:48.240
If you've known RecLogic to just work, that's what you should expect from our logic blocks down the road.
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:52.639
And we bring so many of these things to every organization that we that we work with.
00:05:52.879 --> 00:06:00.959
And I'd like to add too, you know, as Sean talked about our core product, and realistically, that is your basic requisition to PO, receive, invoice, match.
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:06.079
The one awesome thing that we also offer above and beyond is that we're so very configurable.
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:14.800
Depending upon who you are and what you do, you could have a completely different configuration of rec logic than somebody sitting next to you in the cube.
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.959
We also offer unlimited levels of approval and unlimited approval paths.
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:28.879
So making us very dynamic and making it very easy for you to get approvals for those budgets and making sure everything is falling under the right controls, as Sean had talked about.
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:30.959
And continuing to evolve that product.
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:44.639
Sean talked about a few other things, and I know Tasha will go into that a little bit deeper, but we're continuing to evolve Reclogic, our core product, not only for BC, but we're also continuing to support and help customers that are on GP.
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:48.959
And so we never want to say, hey, customers, just because you're on GP, we can't work with you.
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.839
Oh my gosh, no, that's where we started, and we're still going to be here to help you with that as well.
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:55.600
Excellent point, Beth.
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:57.680
I'll I'll throw in some more there.
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:09.759
What is super exciting as a former consultant and someone who really likes helping businesses be successful is if you're on GP today, as Beth said, it's a strategy of ours to continue to support that.
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:24.079
But if you do make the journey to the cloud, not only do these does the functionality travel with you into Business Central, but, and this is really important, lean in and listen, so does your history of your requisition management from GP.
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:32.240
So you will not lose that visibility into the history of what you bought from this vendor, what your punch outs were with this vendor, what your pricing was with this vendor.
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.040
Very, very critical for folks to be aware of that.
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:38.399
And Sean, I'm gonna jump in there again because you brought up something that I miss.
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:39.519
I miss Punch Out.
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:46.160
So if customers or you know anybody's looking for punch out, punch out is an open industry standard.
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.199
We didn't develop it, but we connect to vendors that offer it.
00:07:49.360 --> 00:08:01.199
And what's really nice about it is as you're going through and creating a requisition, you can actually jump out to that vendor's website that they have set up and created for you as the end customer, your products, your pricing.
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.600
And then when you choose that product, it automatically creates that line item on our requisition.
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.639
So punch out is a very, very large part of our product.
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.600
And if it's something that it's a unique identifier as well.
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.959
And another thing, Sean, you just keep bringing up all the best points.
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:15.600
I love this.
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:23.199
The other thing is when you when you're moving from GP to BC, gosh, you know, if you already know the product in GP, you're gonna know it in BC.
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.680
It's so very, very user-friendly.
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:27.040
Not a lot is changing.
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:31.040
Of course, there are functionality things that are changing, but so super easy.
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:41.200
That transition when people are going from one system they're familiar with to another, and then they have to adopt new processes, new and it sounds like that makes it seamless, right?
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.320
The users aren't gonna be impacted as much, right?
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:45.759
The reclogic users.
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:52.080
So yeah, very, very small learning curve when you go from the on-premise GP to BC for sure.
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.559
We forgot one very cool thing.
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:59.279
See, uh the folks watching and listening here, you could tell we're passionate about it because it just works.
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:00.879
But we forgot one other thing.
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:07.519
When you're working with Rec Logic, all of the support that you have for Rec Logic is included as you go.
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.919
It's part of the enhancement fee.
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:15.759
There's no extra service dollars attached, which I think is a great and unique offering that we bring to our clients.
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.279
Yeah, definitely.
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:19.600
Well, you mentioned logic block.
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:21.200
What is that about?
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.080
I know, Tasha, you mentioned Project Logic.
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.679
That's a whole new addition to the Rec Logic family.
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:29.360
So do you want to tell us about that?
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:29.759
Yeah.
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:36.480
Sean, did you want to start with the concept of logic blocks as a whole and then we can dive into the different components of them?
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:37.679
Yeah, happy to.
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:43.519
So we we recognize that Rec Logic is our flagship product, tried and true for nearly 30 years.
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:45.279
As I said, it just works.
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:52.000
And as an organization, we wanted to look and see what we could serve the community and how we could serve the community.
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.720
And we came up with this idea called logic blocks.
00:09:54.799 --> 00:10:04.559
So we have rec logic and we have project logic and doc logic, and we'll continue to have other types of logic blocks filling those certain needs for our customers.
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:12.480
Basically, some of those will be part of rec logic as its core or standalones for folks who don't use requisitions as well.
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.039
And we're really excited about this for many reasons.
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:19.039
One, because these are asks that our customers consistently bring to us.
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:20.879
They want to know can you do this?
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.679
I only need this small niche thing fixed.
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:30.480
I don't need to buy a giant robust product that maybe other ISVs are solving because I don't need 80% of that product.
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.720
And that's the concept of logic blocks.
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:39.759
And from there, we then turned into project logic, in which Tasha has been our champion on, and we just absolutely love that.
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:40.559
So, Tasha.
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:46.559
So, Project Logic, like I said, I project accounting is what I'm obsessed with.
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.039
That's where I've lived, that's been my happy place.
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:55.759
So, Business Central, while it is making multiple enhancements to the projects, there's still gaps.
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:04.960
And filling those gaps, there's only extremely large ISV solutions that take a lot of configuring when a customer or an organization may only need a small chunk.
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.679
So that's really how Project Logic was born.
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:17.120
And the idea behind it is because I wanted something where people could pick and choose what they needed, what gaps they needed to fill within the solution.
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:27.120
So Project Logic, it's inside a business central, it just extends the tables and extends the functionality inside a business central, but there's three different offerings.
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:41.120
So they all can work independently, but they can all work together as well, which is also going to be extremely helpful because as you know, there's sometimes ISV solutions don't work together, or multiple solutions may not work together.
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:48.960
And that's where project logic is going to be beneficial because we're filling gaps that you can use either independently or use all together.
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:58.480
So within the projects module, those three solutions, these are the three biggest ones that I found right off the bat is percentage of completion billing.
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.519
So almost like that progress billing based off of a contract value inside of a project.
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.840
So we added in that functionality.
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:10.320
We also added in the ability for a project location shipping.
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:14.320
So right now in Business Central, you had to select a ship to.
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:19.360
And it was a little bit cumbersome because if you're a project organization, you're not always going to go back to that location.
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:21.200
So it shouldn't have to be set up as a ship to.
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:25.519
So we created just project locations and you can have your items drop shipped.
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.840
They can ship to that location automatically.
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:32.559
And then the other big gap that I noticed was project retainage.
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:41.600
So on the accounts receivable side of things, having that retainage and being able to hold that back from customer invoices, that was a big gap.
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.240
And it was very manual before and keeping track of it.
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:48.159
So we've added in the ability for that project retainage as well.
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:48.559
Okay.
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:49.440
That's great.
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.559
And it sounds like it fills some critical gaps.
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.559
And you don't have to really like Sean said, you don't need a whole new project system.
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:00.000
Just need to fill a couple of little gaps in business central.
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:00.960
And that's great.
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:02.159
I I love that.
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.360
And I'm kind of excited to hear about those doc logic.
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:06.720
Is that released yet?
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.600
Or is that something on the roadmap?
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:18.480
I think Beth was hoping I wouldn't have said it today because we're not, we're not, we're not officially making the splash yet, but doc logic is something I'm just over the top excited about.
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.559
Doc Logic is uh end-to-end intelligent data capture for your payment and procurement process.
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:37.200
So think of AP in Business Central without Rec Logic as your foundation platform, or N GP with RecLogic as your foundation platform, or NBC with RecLogic as well.
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.200
So three options there.
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:16.639
We actually have it deployed many customers already today, and we're pretty excited to bring it to market and share in that new logic block called DocLogic.
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:17.200
Nice.
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:21.200
So we got a sneak peek today, it sounds like on something on the roadmap.
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:22.000
That's exciting.
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.720
So, what are the things that your customers value about your solutions?
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:28.320
You know, how do they use it?
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.840
You know, how does it improve their lives, their business operations?
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:42.879
I love the fact that you you talk about improving life improving their business and the lives and and because that was you know, if we think back to the way back to Great Plains, that was actually our mission statement to improve the business.
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:44.080
So that was great.
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:45.039
I'm glad you brought that up.
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:46.480
That got a warm and fuzzy there.
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:48.320
It just had to go there for a second.
00:14:48.639 --> 00:15:03.840
So really, you know, any customer that has a need for just being able to control what they're purchasing, you know, I need something, but I don't want to do that sneaker approval while I have to walk over to somebody's cube and ask for it or actually really seriously call somebody, nobody does that anymore.
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:11.200
So being able to have everything automated by just anything that you need and the fit, we're gosh, you know, anybody that needs something again.
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:18.480
So it could be a smaller shop, retail shop, or we could go away to incorporating project logic with a construction company.
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:27.279
So we can fill many different industries, being able to just really pull it all together and now being able to roll in the other logic modics to come to it, we can fill all those gaps.
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:38.720
One thing we're trying to do very intentionally, Carol, is we're trying to streamline the impact end users feel between going from the ground to the cloud.
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:43.519
So I mentioned doc logic and I talked about our included support.
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.639
Not many ISVs bring that to the foreground.
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:58.080
But with doc logic, for example, if someone were to use doc logic in Dynamics GP, when they move to business central, they will not even use a different platform.
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.080
It will literally be the same exact platform when they move to business central.
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:08.559
Completely removing the learning curve, not even just minimizing it, removing it altogether.
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:20.559
Not just that, but when they do make that transition, it will be seamless to them because, like I said earlier, all that history will be there for them to view in their vendor analysis when they're in the purchasing.
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:29.120
I don't know of many ISVs that can bring that power to change management adoption to end users, quite like we're doing with DocLogic and RecLogic.
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:29.919
Nice.
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:34.320
Yeah, so it kind of solves that black hole of spending, is what I used to call it.
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:35.200
Right.
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.320
People are like, hey, boss, can I buy that laptop?
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.519
Well, you know, you don't know, you might be over budget already.
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.480
Correct.
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:51.279
One of the other things I wanted to mention about why businesses like to use RecLogic is how highly configurable our product is.
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:59.919
No longer will there be a need to come to us and say, I have this complex workflow, and we have to do a customization to accommodate.
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:09.200
The configurability of this tool is so robust that we have literally in 30 years never met a workflow requirement we could not solve.
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:16.799
We've actually been able to, Sean, and you can contest to this as well, is been able to take somebody who's got like 40 to 50 workflows, right?
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:20.240
And they're just it's crazy, completely complex.
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:24.880
They come to us, they install RecLogic, and our team looks at it and says, you know what?
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:29.599
With our very, very robust workflow, we can get that down to just a couple.
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.839
We don't need to have where it's going to go through 65 different things.
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:43.039
We can achieve the same darn goal, but using it with our actual workflow and making it quicker and easier, figurable for that user.
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:43.599
Right.
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:51.519
Because a lot of times those workflows for requisitions and procurement aren't just simply attached to GL accounts or departments.
00:17:51.680 --> 00:18:00.720
They're attached to who I report to or what my budget authority is or what my purchasing power is, and maybe even what it is by quarter or period.
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:14.720
So to that point, to Beth's point, we take all that and we simplify it behind the scenes so that the approval process is not only simplified, even though it's complex in the background, but it's auditable and verifiable through our audit trails.
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:15.359
Nice.
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:16.400
I love that.
00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:23.599
You mentioned a few new things, but are there any other new things kind of out there in the future that you're looking to introduce?
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.640
Well, Carol, I think I think I'm going to get in trouble if I say any more.
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:31.680
So we'll I will just have to invite folks to continue to check out our website, reclogic.com.
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:36.240
And if you're a partner in channel, please reach out or come see us at Directions North America.
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.799
We definitely plan on releasing some information there as well.
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:39.680
Perfect.
00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:47.440
So just I wanted to kind of change gears a little bit here and talk about what are you seeing in the channel?
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.359
You know, kind of what challenges are you seeing with partners and customers?
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:55.839
How are they trying to solve some of those operational challenges in their work life?
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.160
Well, we can take a look at that in a couple of different ways.
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:12.319
One way I'd like to look at if we talked about partners, you know, being in the channel all of us for as many years as we have, we've seen so much change within the channel, whether that's a company that's now merged with another company or people just moving to different companies.
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:13.920
We've seen a lot of that change.
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:19.599
But one thing that we've always seen that's tried and true is the passion and the support for dynamics.
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:21.839
And that's where our core heart is too, right?
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:27.200
Is staying within dynamics, creating and continuing to grow the products that we have for dynamics.
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:29.519
So that's what I see there on the partner side.
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.519
I'll let Sean jump in to see if he's got any thoughts on that as well.
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:35.519
So challenge is twofold.
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:36.960
I think we talked about it already.
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:42.160
One is how we get our customers comfortable with a move to the cloud if you're a dynamics GP.
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:47.039
Certainly, grounded cloud initiatives have been something people have been saying for years.
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:56.079
And we saw that as an opportunity with our strong RecLogic Foundation uh customer base to make that as minimal, minimally impacted as possible.
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:59.279
So that combined with everyone is talking AI.
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:01.039
Have you heard about this AI thing?
00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:12.240
And all kidding aside, with the speed and pace that AI is being released into mainstream, it's important to recognize how powerful and important it needs to be to our business.
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:23.279
So that challenge is also being presented to partners in our space, where how do we incorporate more and more of the success that AI brings to the ecosystem to our clients?
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:34.799
And at RecLogic, we're doing just that with the DocLogic tool to help make sure that intelligent data capture is something that we can easily give to our customers without having to reinvent a whole nother string of products.
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:36.240
I want to add one more thing.
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:43.119
I think one of the biggest things that I've seen from customer facing is customers don't want to customize as often anymore.
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:53.519
So that's where having these ISV solutions and having something that people can pick and choose from what their requirements are, that's really where this all comes from.
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:59.519
People don't want to customize because they know what it takes and they want a system that's all inclusive.
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:06.960
They want everything just to be there without having to build custom workflows and without having to build customizations.
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:11.440
And that's one of the biggest things that I've seen, at least from end users specifically.
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:13.359
Yeah, so just want it out of the box.
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:18.400
And then you gotta tweak it for their business process so they can do that themselves.
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:19.599
That's really good.
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:20.640
I love that.
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:28.480
So, any new trends that you see on the horizon, you know, they're like, are you seeing some new things being developed in the future?
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:39.839
Well, for years, I don't know if this is a new trend or not, but for years we've heard the message of focus is critically important for the partner channel, you know, verticalization, find your industry focus.
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:49.519
And although I think partners always took that, you know, sort of seriously, with the push of AI, we recognize that that's gonna have to be something that partners definitely do.
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:59.759
And for us at RecLogic, we're prepared for that for all of the partner channel because we're diverse and we're sort of agnostic to industry, but we do solve niche needs for each one of.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:00.160
Them.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:05.920
And I think as partners find that focus and continue down that path, we'll be there to continue to support them.
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:06.640
Great.
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:07.200
All right.
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:14.880
So just in conclusion, what's one trend that's you are seeing that's really driving partners or customers to come talk to you?
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:16.319
Sean, do you want to start?
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:16.880
Yes.
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:18.000
Well, we just work.
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:18.799
It just works.
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:19.279
It's one.
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:20.240
I'll say that forever.
00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:25.599
That's that was a true non-connected thought that I had as a consultant before I was part of RecLogic.
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:27.200
I think that's a great story.
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:37.519
The other is if you have a concern about fraud or risk mitigation, RecLogic and requisition workflow is definitely a critical component of that separation responsibilities.
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:50.000
If you've got a lot of buyers or a lot of buyers in your organization, our price point outside of BC, because we integrate into BC, is going to be more affordable than a full-blown user in Business Central.
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:50.559
Right.
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:56.319
So they don't need a BC license too, or only if they want to go into Business Central.
00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:58.079
But no, they don't.
00:22:58.400 --> 00:22:58.640
Nice.
00:22:58.799 --> 00:22:59.119
Okay.
00:22:59.519 --> 00:22:59.839
Great.
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:00.960
Any other thoughts?
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:02.240
How about you?
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:19.440
So, you know, I just think that the reason they want to come talk to us is just to piggyback again to what Sean says, you know, our reputation, how many years we've been in the channel, and then to see how that we're like that Phoenix, you know, we're coming, we're growing, we're continuing to build, and we're gonna be bigger and stronger every year.
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:20.880
It's super exciting.
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:27.200
And any of the partners that we've worked with previously are super excited to see us, and they're continuing to bring new partners our way as well.
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:32.400
So every day is a learning curve for us in regards to just making sure we know all the new BC partners.
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:38.400
You know, we have a huge footprint in the GP space, but just making sure that we know everybody in the BC side.
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:40.559
As Sean mentioned, we're gonna be at directions.
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:42.720
We'd love to meet any of you there as well.
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:44.000
So reach out to any of us.
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:52.400
You know, Natasha, what's the one trend you're seeing that's driving customers or partners to talk to RecLogic or Project Logic?
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:55.440
Well, I don't really know because Beth is my driving force.
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:56.799
That's how I talk to people.
00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:00.240
So I'm typical one that sits behind the computer screen.
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:05.359
I only I only talk to them when we need to show the product or solve problems.
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:07.920
So that's why they come talk to me.
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:09.119
I solve their problems.
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:10.160
Well, that's great.
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:11.359
And it just works.
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.920
I love that thought, Sean, because that is really important and needs to work.
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:20.000
Well, thank you for joining me today on this episode of ISV Talks.
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:22.480
The Rec Logic team, you did a great job.
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:27.200
A lot of exciting things happening with logic and logic blocks.
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:29.119
That's a new term I hadn't heard before.
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:30.240
Thank you, Carol.
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:31.519
