The Intuit Solution Provider Summit is less than 4 months away and we are thrilled to be exhibiting at the conference once again this year! The 2010 ISP Summit will be held in Los Angeles, California at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza hotel, from October 4-7, 2010. I’m sure past attendees will agree, that if you’re an ISP, you will certainly enjoy this conference.
The theme of the 2010 Summit is “Charting a Course to Success”, focusing on business and innovation, while showcasing powerful customer solutions. We’re excited to contribute to the summit by educating ISP’s about Method’s innovative abilities, which can play a considerable role in this course to success.
Last year we came face-to-face with many Method Solution Providers at the Summit, and also welcomed new MSP’s on board, so we’re already looking forward to the mix of familiar and fresh faces we’ll get to see in October.
Join us at the ISP Summit 2010 in LA, at an event that never seems to disappoint. We’d love for you to come by our booth and say hello to the Method Team. If you’re already “in the know” about Method, or are an MSP, we look forward to discussing our latest developments and receiving your feedback. If you have never heard about Method before, please take this opportunity to check Method out and ask other ISP’s about their feedback on the product.
The 2010 ISP Summit will be a great learning and networking opportunity, so we hope to see you there!

Actions and Objects are the meat and potatoes when looking at how any Method screen is built. The new Actions and Objects Reference Guides provide you with:
- A detailed description of each action/object
- An example of where you would use the action/object
- Steps for adding the action/object
This is the perfect accessory when designing any screen and aren’t too sure what a specific action or object is supposed to do, or how to implement it. As more actions and objects are released, we will try our best to keep this document up to speed.
You can view or print these documents by visiting our Self Service & Documentation section of the Method website.

Happy reading!

Starting this month, school bells will be ringing with the opening of the Method Solution Provider University (MSPU), presented by none other than Joe Woodard. Now if you haven’t heard, we had a packed house at the Scaling New Heights Conference last month and one thing we know for sure is that consultants are serious about expanding their knowledge in Method. We had over 150 attendees attend the level 1 certification training during the three-day conference and over 50 take the exam onsite. I want to throw a shout out to Susan Cook from Account Ability for being the first to pass the Method Certified Consultant exam for 2010!
I couldn’t be more thrilled about MSPU starting this month. As a consultant, this is a no-brainer, seeing as you are now given the tools and education to take your practice to the next level. You can visit the MSPU by clicking here. When I spoke to Joe about this over the last few weeks, here were his thoughts:
“I believe Method has real game changing potential within the QuickBooks community. Method has certainly changed the way we provide consulting for our clients. Sales of Method consulting and software over our first 12 months is just under $100k, and the opportunities keep coming. As charter members of the Method Solution Provider program we are thrilled to be working with Method to provide training for other MSPs - through both our annual conference called "Scaling New Heights" and through the newly formed Method Solution Provider University. The consulting opportunity around Method is tremendous, and through our partnership with Method we will empower countless QuickBooks consultants to expand their professional expertise, to provide powerful results for their clients who use QuickBooks, and to grow their practices.”
MSPU has options that can work for you depending on your schedule, budget and level of involvement. Level 2 boot camp classes are limited in size and those who attended the Scaling New Heights Conference got first dibs on enrolment. If you’re interested in getting in, sign up for classes today!
P.S. I’ll also be making my way around some of the Level 2 boot camps across the country, so stay tuned for further updates.
Cheers,
Danny

Last week we were at the Scaling New Heights Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, and wow - what an incredible conference it was. This was the second year Joe Woodard held this conference and his team definitely put together a successful event.
Scaling New Heights was particularly exciting for us at Method because for the first time ever, we had our own Method Solution Provider Certification track! For three days, we had the opportunity to train QuickBooks ProAdvisors, ISP’s, consultants and accounting professionals on Method, preparing them for their Level 1 Certified Consultant Certification. With that said, I’d like to extend a big THANK YOU to all of you who attended Scaling New Heights and took one or more of our Method sessions. The turnout in the Method track was overwhelming - over 150 people – and was definitely more than we could have ever asked for. We had nearly 50 people take the Level 1 exam at the end of the course and we were blown away by such enthusiasm! We also gave attendees a sneak preview of the Method Expense Reports App, and after receiving such positive feedback, you can count on seeing its release in the Method App Library quite soon! Of course, the conference was also a hit because we got to see so many of your familiar faces, along with the new, and we hope to see you again soon. 
Not only did Scaling New Heights represent our first Method Solution Provider Level 1 training, but it also marked the opening of Level 1 Certified Consultant Certification! Within the next couple of weeks, we will be announcing an online exam process, which will be available to those of you who wish to become a Level 1 Certified Consultant.
In addition to achieving Level 1 Certification at the conference and online, Level 2 Advanced Certified Consultant Certification Boot Camps will also be held this summer, across the US. Once you pass your Level 1 exam, you become eligible to register for a Level 2 boot camp, led by none other than Joe Woodard himself. There will be limited seating (about 20 per class) in these boot camps, which will take a more practical (vs. theoretical) approach to Method. More information on Level 2 boot camps will be posted soon.
Once again, thank you to all of you who showed interest in Method and the Method Solution Provider Program at the conference, and we will be in touch soon regarding next steps towards various certifications. If you were not at the conference and would like more information on being involved as a Method Solution Provider, please contact Danny Do Couto at d.docouto@methodintegration.com.
Have a nice day,
Katie
