About the Microsoft Dynamics GP - Other
Microsoft Dynamics GP (formerly Microsoft Business Solutions - Great Plains) is a comprehensive business-management solution built on the highly scalable and affordable platform of Microsoft technologies. It offers a cost-effective solution for managing and integrating finances, e-commerce, supply chain, manufacturing, project accounting, field service, customer relationships, and human resources.
Microsoft Dynamics GP works with and like other Microsoft products that are well known throughout businesses worldwide. That means people across your organization can use skills and products that they already know - like a web browser, Microsoft Office System products, and Microsoft SQL Server - to access and communicate information managed within the system. It's easy to deploy and configure. In addition, with its modular approach, you can license only the functions you currently need, with the option of adding users and additional capabilities in the future.
NetCom is an industry leader in the IT training industry and is working closely with Microsoft to offer training to end users and IT professionals using Microsoft Dynamics products. A Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Learning Solutions, NetCom works in conjunction with the Microsoft Business Solutions group to offer Great Plains training to enterprises, corporations and individuals.

Classroom environment was good. Remote users delayed class due to connection issue. Highly recommend instructor begin 45min earlier than class time to confirm connections.
Disappointed by some content being dropped from the training such as workflows, some more advanced out of the box options.
Instructor had some real world examples which assisted with learning. Some questions that I felt were important to new CRM users and customizes could have been more patiently addressed.
Labs and books were very detailed about the content covered.
Need morning snacks. Afternoon snacks should be expanded Lunch was excellent.

| 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. |

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." |

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. NetCom used a mentoring approach and provided one-on-one instruction in order to fill the knowledge gaps. Kevin Kelly, commented about NetCom's unique mentoring approach: "I could monopolize [the instructors] time to make sure I understood the answer that may not have been possible with multiple students in the class each with their own questions they would like answered."
Some highlights of NetCom's unique solution were: - Very few Learning Solutions partners offer this training
- NetCom conducted an assessment of the needs and client background to assess the best solution
- NetCom's in-house subject matter experts provided a customized solution to meet ECBC's needs
- NetCom used a mentoring approach and provided one-on-one instruction to fill the knowledge gaps
- NetCom offered a customer focused approach and its dedicated travel staff helped arrange travel for the IT staff traveling to NetCom's New York City location
- In a very cost and time effective manner, ECBC IT staff was able to gain the skills they needed
