Also, with the integration between BPC and PCM becoming a hot topic in 2011 (see How to Generate Product and Customer Data Views using Planning and Consolidation, Profitability and Cost Management, and Financial Information Management for technical integration details) we are investigating the idea of a PCM Elite Partner Training later in 2011.
So, blog away and share your thoughts… If you want to follow us on Twitter look for hashtag #BPCElite
