  Great Plains training & certification

  Published On: 14 April 2008

  Customer: Washington State Penitentiary

  Location: Walla Walla, WA, US

  Industry: State & Local Government

  The Department of Corrections, Washington State in collaboration with its criminal justice partners, contributes to staff and community safety and hold offenders accountable through administration of criminal sanctions and effective re-entry programs. The Department of Corrections is responsible for administering adult corrections programs operated by the State of Washington. This includes state correctional institutions and programs for offenders supervised in the community.

  Business Needs: The Department of Corrections IT networking department used Microsoft Dynamics GP integrated with Microsoft SQL Server as an accounting solution to automate their processes. But their employees were not trained in GP so they outsourced the maintenance to the Partner from whom they bought the software. The Partner had initially configured and implemented the software for them, but was now also responsible for regular maintenance. However, the Department of Corrections wanted to reduce the costs of outsourcing by getting their own employee trained on GP. They decided to get six people trained and NetCom sold them the value of getting the master certification for installation and configuration, financials, inventory and order processing for their team.   Solution: NetCom created a custom training plan for them to satisfy all their needs. NetCom provided them with fifteen days of onsite training. The training prepared them for SQL server elective to get master certification in GP 9. The training solution included modules from Financial, Installation, Configuration, Inventory and order processing along with SQL Server training. NetCom provided them with exam vouchers, books and custom certification preparation they need for the training.The six students trained were the ones responsible for the Department of Corrections networks for the entire state of Washington. Instead of continuing to hire experts to administer and maintain their system, they invested in education to raise their own in house GP experts.   Training: Courses Taken 2072: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 System Administration 8505: Installation and Configuration in Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 8508: Receivables Management I in Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 8509: Payables Management I in Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 8510: Bank Reconciliation I in Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 8511: Fixed Assets I in Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 8512: Inventory in Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 8513: Purchase Order Processing in Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 8514: Sales Order Processing in Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 8506+8507: Foundation I and General Ledger I in Microsoft Dynamic GP 9.0 - Accelerated Version Packages Purchased MCDBA: Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (Core) Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 - Installation and Configuration Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 - Financials - Accelerated Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 - Inventory and Order Processing   Benefits: The training helped improved their productivity. They cut down their costs significantly by implementing the software in-house rather than outsourcing. Microsoft Dynamics GP integrated with Microsoft SQL Server training from NetCom helped them deliver on a long-term vision of community safety by installing and configuring their financials by inventory and order processing.

  
  

  Custom Great Plains and BizTalk Training

  Published On: 14 April 2008

  Customer: Universidad de las Americas Puebla

  Location: Puebla, Mxico

  Industry: Education::Colleges & Universities

  The Universidad de las Américas Puebla (UDLA) was founded in 1940 as the Mexico City College and the first twelve students graduated in 1944. The Universidad de las Américas was accepted as a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) in 1959.The UDLA's academic programs have been officially accredited by the Department of Public Education since 1976. In 1985 the university officially changed its name to Fundación Universidad de las Américas Puebla.

  Business Needs: "We need to learn more about Great Plains and the different options we have to extend its functionality" said Hugo Lopez, Training coordinator of Universidad de las Americas Puebla. UDLA had implemented Microsoft Dynamics GP as an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) but was having problems with its implementation as people in their IT department were not trained in GP. UDLA started looking for GP training in Mexico but was unsuccessful in finding the training to satisfy their needs. When UDLA contacted NetCom, they wanted to send two people to US for the Dynamics GP training.   Solution: Universidad de las Americas Pueblas goal was to gain the in-depth knowledge to customize and implement Microsoft Dynamics GP using Dexterity. Since there was no official courseware for Dexterity, NetCom created custom training as per their needs. NetCom also provided them custom training at their site in Mexico where they could train a group of employees. This also helped them circumvent immigration issues with their employees getting VISA to the US.NetCom sent a bilingual (English and Spanish speaking) GP instructor to run the custom class for them. The training went on for three weeks and was very successful. "My Team and I are very happy with the training and with the instructor (hes a person who really knows a lot about the product). This training is going to be very useful in the projects that we are working on. We are so happy, that we are interested in some additional training" said Hugo. UDLA also requested BizTalk Server training for econnect. Again, NetCom created another custom plan for econnect training which was conducted over eight days.   Training: Courses Taken 2933: Developing Business Process and Integration Solutions Using Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 2934: Deploying and Managing Business Process and Integration Solutions Using Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 8507: General Ledger I in Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 8517: Report Writer in Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 8518: Business Portal Installation and Configuration in Microsoft Dynamics GP 8519: Microsoft Dynamics GP Integration Manager 8520: Modifier with Visual Basic with Applications (VBA) in Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 8597: General Ledger II in Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 Consulting Service Packages Purchased MCTS: BizTalk Server 2006 Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 - Other Consulting Service   Benefits: Universidad de las Americas Pueblas IT department had already implemented Microsoft Dynamics GP as an (ERP) but now they were able to use its full functionality. They were very satisfied with the whole training and were able to customize Microsoft Dynamics GP and integrate it with the other applications with associated technology. They were also able to integrate econnect with BizTalk very efficiently.

  Meeting the Challenge of ERP Integration- Bemis Integrates Separate ERP Systems with Microsoft Dynamics AX

  Published On: 7 February 2008

  Customer: Bemis Associates Inc.

  Location: New York, NY, US

  Business Needs: Our challenge as a company was to tie all of the separate office ERP systems together, said Sandra Regan, Bemis application developer. Internally, we were overloaded with the development of forms, reports and different types of functionality which came with these systems being separate. We recognized that ultimately integrating the ERP systems was the key to economizing the IT workload.After looking at several different integration and application development platforms, Bemis IT made the decision to use Microsoft Dynamics AX, which automates and helps improve financial, customer relationship, and supply chain management systems.We were excited about Dynamics AX, and the next step for us was getting trained in it, said Sandra Regan. We recognized that our training would be highly specialized, and we turned to NetCom because of its reputation as a premier Microsoft business partner.   Solution: Bemis IT training goal was to obtain a solid foundation in Microsoft Dynamics AX, with strong knowledge of how the software worked. Once this was achieved, Bemis planned to move forward with analyzing its business processes and architecting its overall data and workflow integration plan for its office ERP.We sent four application programmers to two weeks of NetCom training on Microsoft Dynamics AX, said Sandra Regan. Each week consisted of a full five days of training. We learned about Dynamics AX and its capabilities, and also spent concentrated time in hands-on laboratory exercises and case studies. At the end of the training, there was a final project that all of the students collaborated on.The training was so effective because we came away with a collaborative project under our belts, and we felt confident that we could immediately start using what we had learned on our own IT initiatives.   Training: Courses Taken 8340: Microsoft Business Solutions - Axapta 3.0 Development II: Introduction to X++ Packages Purchased Microsoft Dynamics AX 3.0   Benefits: Bemis has already used its newly acquired skills in system data manipulation, forecasting and reporting. It will continue to apply Dynamics AX solutions as more business processes are defined and modeled for optimum integration.We had a history of not being able to get to where we needed to go with other training programs we had used in the past, said Regan, But NetCom's flexibility and expert instruction met all of our training needs.This training has accelerated our development capacity to where we are already addressing and solving the business needs that had challenged us in the past.

  
  

  Microsoft Axapta Training Gets LINAK U.S. On-Track for Inventory Management

  Published On: 16 July 2008

  Customer: Linak U.S.

  Location: Louisville, Kentucky, US

  Industry: Electronics::Electrical Products

  Beginning eleven years ago as a North and South American distributor for its parent company in Denmark, LINAK U.S. sells and manufactures linear activator systems for solar tracking. The company has over 300 employees at its Louisville, Kentucky headquarters, along with 21 sales offices in the U.S. and Canada, and four separate subsidiaries in South America and Mexico. Central to this distributed organization is the ability to take orders, schedule manufacturing to meet those orders, and then ship and invoice product.

  Business Needs: Recognizing that an Enterprise Requirements Planning (ERP) system was needed in its U.S. and other regional offices, LINAK U.S's parent company in Denmark provisioned an ERP system for each regional organization. The selected ERP software was Microsoft Axapta. Axapta was duly installed and implemented at LINAK U.S., but management quickly realized that refinements to both overall logistics and to inventory components such as product pallet ids were required to effect shipments correctly and to perform FIFO (first in, first out) inventory management. Although LINAK U.S. was managing these logistics day to day, it was doing the management manually.   Solution: LINAK U.S. needed to fully automate shipment processing and inventory management with pallet ids. To tackle the problem, LINAK U.S. called on NetCom to train LINAK U.S. in the operational logistics and applications of Axapta. "What NetCom accomplished really far exceeded training, said LINAK U.S. Manager of Manufacturing", Miguel Zamora II. "We actually used a test database of our existing data and ran the Axapta software against it. We benefited because the NetCom instructor not only understood Axapta, he understood how inventory management affected other parts of our business like the financials. He stepped us through the entire business process so we could identify the holes and develop an effective project plan to achieve full implementation."   Training: Courses Taken 8352: Microsoft Business Solutions - Axapta Trade and Logistics, Series 1 8353: Microsoft Business Solutions - Axapta Trade and Logistics, Series 2 8372: Microsoft Axapta Warehouse Management Packages Purchased Microsoft Dynamics AX 3.0   Benefits: LINAK U.S. used training and consulting from NetCom to "kick the tires" of the new Axapta software in a full test environment- and to see precisely which business processes needed to be implemented, and what tools and persons would be needed, to incorporate pallet ids, which would complete the infrastructure for logistics, inventory management and shipping. "Coming out of the training, we knew exactly what we needed to do, who would do it, and what pieces of software we needed to specify and develop to attain full integration of all system components in our logistics", said Miguel Zamora. "The NetCom instructor was extremely knowledgeable on the business as well as on the technology side. He understood the interactions between inventory and finances in a manufacturing environment, providing more than just general training. We came away from the training with full understanding of what we needed to achieve for the software, and how we were going to leverage its other capabilities in the future."

  Enterprise Cape Breton Corporation (ECBC) Migration to Dynamics SL 7.0

  Published On: 29 July 2009

  Customer: Enterprise Cape Breton Corporation

  Location: Mulgrave - Nova Scotia, Canada

  Industry: Federal Government::Affiliated or Foreign

  Enterprise Cape Breton Corporation (ECBC) is a Canadian Federal Crown organization which advocates and integrates economic development throughout Cape Breton Island and nearing areas within the eastern Nova Scotia region of Mulgrave. Founded in 1987, ECBC was created to provide economic development resources. Focus was set to the economically despondent region which was undergoing adjustment from a resource-based economy centered on the coal and steel industries.

  Business Needs: ECBC implements Microsoft Dynamics SL as its primary financial platform. Dynamics SL is a business management solution specialized to help organizations obtain reports and business analysis, while increasing efficiency, accuracy, and customer satisfaction. Microsoft Dynamics is an extremely crucial tool for the organization. ECBC wanted its staff to stay current and updated with advancing SL technologies, in turn allowing the utilization of the latest patches in order to capitalize on improved functionality; providing an increase in business productivity. ECBC has a dedicated team of 5 users who apply Microsoft Dynamics SL to efficiently manage the disbursement of large sums of project dollars to local clients. ECBC wanted to transition to SL 7.0, yet the IT team was hesitant: The in-house expertise was limited to what was learned by trial and error. The cost of not properly implementing the new technology was high. To do it right the first time, they chose NetCom as their preferred training provider. "It was a pain staking effort to update from version to version each time learning a little bit more. I thought I had a handle on it but wanted to make sure I was doing things properly so I searched the internet for training facilities and after reading about [NetCom] decided this was the place for me," said Kevin Kelly, IT systems administrator for ECBC.   Solution: NetCom's unique solution was tailored to the specific needs of ECBC's IT staff.
