When your organization’s mission is something as important as “building a world where the rights of every child are realized,” you don’t have room for inefficiencies in your processes. No organization understands this better than UNICEF, and that’s why they rely on the Microsoft Dynamics GP User Group (GPUG®) to help maximize the effectiveness of their Microsoft® Dynamics GP solution.

UNICEF is a 180-staff organization serving children in 190 countries around the globe. The organization utilizes Microsoft Dynamics GP for grant management—a critical part of their operations, as they are a non-profit organization funded solely by grants and voluntary contributions. Eugene Kogan, UNICEF Director of IT and Database and Application Developer, turned to the expertise of GPUG as a go-to resource for ideas, strategies, and answers from others who are using Microsoft Dynamics GP to accomplish similar objectives.

Since joining GPUG, Eugene has found immense value in the networking and learning opportunities that the group provides. “It’s a great investment and a network I can leverage that helps me nearly every single day.”

Eugene notes that he has realized particular benefits from attending a number of educational webinars and GPUG Summit, the user group’s annual conference. Of Summit, Eugene says “It’s an event dedicated solely to Microsoft Dynamics GP and you have access to a wealth of expert resources. It gives us great opportunities to collaborate with fellow users and tackle our most important issues together.”

Eugene has also found many other ways to participate in GPUG and has become an invaluable participant and contributor. He leads his local GPUG Regional Chapter, actively participates in Special Interest Groups (SIGs), and is a member of the GPUG Board of Advisors.
