In Hungary training users on Dynamics Nav

And it is hot! 33C! Day 1 of training done and dusted! Slow to start (had to set up user ids, request sql access for users, create RDP sessions) so the 8am start did not happen until 12 Noon. Bit late. Then went back to an Hungarian school for lunch (very nice too though still hot) and I am now back in the hotel with the air con on. Just raided the mini bar for fizzy orange. Lager shortly will be consumed as well.
New skills learnt this week / last week include completing a Dynamics Nav 2009 R2 'upgrade' - it isn't an upgrade but a re-install. Hungary language pack installation and bespoke translation loads. I have also learnt that the Hungarian language has a lot of z's in it!
Lovely country I have to say and the people are friendly. Got a tray full of baking this morning which was very nice!
That's all for now.

An odd time for a blog yet again but...

Hello all! On a Dynamics Nav training half day for a client which starts at 9.30am hence the blog now. Followed by a Dynamics Nav R2 install this afternoon. Busy busy!
While on teh subject of the R2 install, it shoudl actually be an upgrade! But it actually requires the removal of Dynamics Nav 2009 SP1 and install R2. Not an upgrade then!
Spent most of this week out of the office at client sites. Hungary visit confirmed - flying out Monday next week back Friday. Providing Dynamics Nav 2009 Classic training for all base modules. Should be interesting as I do not speak Hungarian. I have done this type of thing before - in Switzerland a few years ago. Worked very well considering the language issue so keeping my fingers crossed. Only downside compared to Hungary is that what I say will be translated so the training will take twice as long. Installing Hungarian language pack today as well which will help the training next week.
That's all for now!

Busy, busy, busy

Busy week for work this week. Just completed 2 day user training for Dynamics Nav 2009 Classic on the basic financial modules including purchase and sales order processing and stock master maintenance. New client and all went well! Follow up session to be completed when client goes live on Dynamics Nav. Dynamics Nav 15 day development making progress with emails working with email templates. Demo of development to date to client Finance Director tomorrow. R2 installation for Friday deferred until next Friday when we are on site anyway to provide more user training - again on sales and purchase order processing except for the 2009 RTC interface not Classic. Hungary training visit still on the cards for week commencing 22nd August. Traveling arrangements and other details to be confirmed next week. Out Monday, Tuesday and Friday next week at client sites so another busy week ahead! Good for the self employed!
That's all for today!

Quick blog!

Just a quick blog today. Busy which is good for the self employed!
Dynamics Nav work since last blog includes ongoing development for sales operation. Due for completion mid week next week for user demo. User demo booked for a week today. Got faxing from Nav working today. Currently working on pdf file creation for faxing and emailing.
Quite a few support issues over the last few days some of which triggered developments, approval of quote and delivery. Fast!! Just taken a Dynamics Nav user through dimensions and what needs to be done to ensure they work as required. Just requires a little forethought!
Minor amendments requested and completed for a development that is now in live. Requested today, completed today and loaded onto the test database for testing.
Client books are mounting up for their annual accounts prep. Should complete this in the next 2 weeks.
No demo of the Dynamics Nav development on client site today (as originally planned) as too early in development cycle. Only on day 5 of 15 day development so managing expectations very important.
That's all for now!

An odd time for a blog......

Usually do these blogs after a day's work but it has been busy busy.
On the Dynamics Nav front, in the last week we have completed super user training, started a 15 day development for a client, extracted client bespoke UK captions for translation into Hungarian (will become clearer later on), billed (very important) and booked most of next week out at clients.
Next week we will install R2 and the Hungarian language pack for a client (clearer now eh!) ready for a training visit by me to Hungary late August 2011! I am training Hungarians on the use of Dynamics Nav. Database based in the UK with relevant language pack installed.
Client books are coming on. 1 set ready bar final tick off, another nearly ready. 3rd set will be ready for me to review next week.
And isn't it hot!!!
