Pedro Rodriguez September 2011 Pedro has been working with Dynamics Ax since nearly 6 years. His experience focus with end users helping them to optimize their ERP. He has worked with the end users Juan Jimenez García and Novatec Solar. What was your first job in Microsoft Dynamics? It was 6 years ago when I was working in my first job as .NET developer when a colleague gave me a newspaper advertisement about a company in my born city that needed someone to help them with their new ERP. It was called Axapta and I haven’t heard about it before but it sounded so cool… Who has been your biggest influence/s in Microsoft Dynamics? In Spain I have to mention Manuel Querol who worked in a former partner of us (IFR). Actually he is a MVP by Microsoft. Also I have to mention Antonio Ramón de Mata-García Sánchez who gave me the hints to make a successful upgrade from Axapta 3.0 to Dynamics Ax 2009. On an international side I can mention Rahul Sharma. His contributions are always incredible and quite useful. What has been your biggest achievement/s in Microsoft Dynamics? Spain is fighting against the economic crisis for several years and the worse is to come so for Spanish companies is quite important to keep costs down. With Dynamics Ax I have helped my company to make this in two ways. First, we have achieved to make everything inside the company (from customization, to more complicated projects like upgrades) dropping expensive IT services rates. Second, we have optimized the ERP to our business making a very fast decision making environment in our company and reducing all the redundant tasks. We also introduced integration with Blackberry applications some years ago when mobile applications weren’t so usual like today. What is the best thing Microsoft has brought to the community? Dynamics Ax is an environment that promotes creativity and it is quite easy to use and to customize. On the Axapta 3.0 times it was more difficult to find information on the Internet but nowadays with Dynamics Ax 2009 and even Dynamics Ax 2012 you can see plenty of dedicated websites and blogs talking about new fantastic add-ons. Why should an end user purchase Microsoft Dynamics? Dynamics Ax is a tested tool. Even Dynamics Ax 2012 despite the improvements should keep the core of Axapta 3.0. It is quite easy to use and customize if needed. There is now out there plenty of professionals and also it is not very difficult to introduce a generic software developer into Dynamics Ax so the lack of professionals can be coped if the company have patient and give some training meanwhile the developer knows the company. On the times of Axapta 3.0 I thought of SAP for biggest companies and Axapta for medium companies but this is no longer true and big multinational companies can make a very good choice with Dynamics Ax 2009 or Dynamics Ax 2012. What are the biggest challenges facing …
