From 1999 up to 2003 I have been educating dozens of NAV developers in the Netherlands at Navision Software NL, based on courseware developed by myself. After the MS take-over had been fully established I joined the MS dynamics localization team in 2003 as a tester. I was acting project lead for our first new release, i.e. NAV 4.0 (at that time still called MS Business Solution-Navision). For 6 years I was involved with all successive releases of NAV to the (West) European market up till NAV 2009 SP1, when I had to leave MS as part of the humongous 2009 lay-offs. As of September 1st, 2009, I joined Imtech ICT Dynamics Solutions as Sr. Technical Consultant, where I am (1) leading product development as Product Manager, (2) coaching dev teams at other Dynamics partners, (3) co-leading the Imtech ICT Dynamics Competence Center (IIDSS), and (4) involved in Imtech ICT’s international ERP development.
