Exam Cram Session Dynamics NAV Core Development March, 2017

2 Exam Cram Objective: Help prepare yourself for Certification Exams from Association of Dynamics Professionals  Next, think about these questions and how you might answer them. You don’t have to prepare a formal response, just a conversational dialogue. Who is your Dynamics GP partner? How long have you worked with them? Why/how did you select them? Did they sell you the software or did they come in after the sale? What aspect of the relationship do you find most value? What is your preferred method of communication with them? How often do you meet with them? Speak with them? What information do you need from them? How does your relationship with Microsoft compare with the relationship with the partner? What do you expect from each? What one thing would you like your partner to stop doing? start doing?

3 Agenda Why independent professional certification?
