Dynamics Academy – An Academic Project for Microsoft Dynamics in Saudi Arabia

Everyone in the Dynamics filed remembers very well how hard it was to get into the track of any Microsoft Dynamics producttechnically or functionally. Apart from missing of  learning resources, qualified consultants were also missed.

A great initiative that we always missed since so long time is now live in Saudi Arabia. Dynamics Academy is an academic initiative that was taken to support the Microsoft Dynamics community in Saudi Arabia with academic programs in all kinds with Microsoft Dynamics AX, GP, NAV and CRM.

From its early days, Dynamics Academy has put an objective in mind that is helping  Microsoft Dynamics vendors and clients in the region to educate their resources and put them on the right track to increase the success probabilities. The academy is seriously taking the responsibility of such education programs by starting with fresh individuals who have no experience in ERP, CRM, nor any business solution implementation even. Those individuals will be ready to get involved as functional and technical consultants in junior levels in Dynamics AX, GP, NAV and CRM implementations.

This initiative was taken by three contributors from the community: Ahmad Maghraby (CPIM, CSCP, PMP, MCT),  Ahmad Yakan (MCT, MCBSP) and I.
