Submitted by Dottie DeHart, DeHart & Company Public Relations  Palo Alto, CA (April 2013)—When Fast Company’s Robert Safian first coined the phrase “Generation Flux” a little over a year ago suddenly, the uncertainty, instability, and chaos many had been feeling for years had a name. It’s easy for an unfettered 20-something to embrace chaos, transience, and everything else the “GenFlux” mind-set implies. But what about 40-somethings with mortgages? Glenda Eoyang and Royce Holladay offer reassurance that “reluctant fluxers” can adapt to (and even thrive in) a chaotic new world. “It’s true that we all need to work in new ways to keep up with the supercharged velocity of change that defines the global economy,” says Eoyang, who along with coauthor Holladay wrote the new book "Adaptive Action: Leveraging Uncertainty in Your Organization."  “And it’s true that leaders need to encourage a sense of urgency in the people we’re counting on to carry out the work. “However, that ...

Then, as the users proceed through checkout, they will have the option to either create a new account, or if they are a return customer, they can log in to the account they created previously. T...

You have your ecommerce site setup and ready to go. Traffic is good and users want to make purchases. Now the question is do you have a solution for payment processing within Dynamics GP? And, if you do, are you confident in its security levels? If you are using Azox Credit Card Extension on your website, when an order is placed in your web store, it is sent into the payment solution, which integrates with your Microsoft Dynamics GP back office software. From there, the credit card or bank account data is sent to a payment gateway, then to a bank payment processor, followed by the customer’s bank account and ends up at the merchant bank account.
