If you subjected the mobile phones and PDAs accessing your corporate network to the same rigours of IT risk and management policies that you do your laptops, how would they measure up?&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;As an IT Professional are you what is your level of involvement with your company’s business applications [CRM, Finance, ERP]? Is it on a support only basis or are you part of the team that reviews such solutions?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Do you advise on what product the business users should purchase or it this decision primarily down to your Managing Director or your Financial Director?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Are your current business applications having an impact on your workload?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Would you like to find out more about Microsoft’s offerings around CRM and Finance?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Are your current business applications integrated with your desktop products and your infrastructure?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;When was the last time you reviewed the financial or CRM products your company uses?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Specifically what would you like to see presented at a Microsoft Dynamics Event?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope you can give me some feedback on this by typing your comments into the space provided below and hit submit.&amp;nbsp; This would&amp;nbsp;help me structure the event in a way that would&amp;nbsp;benifit you most.&lt;/P&gt;
