Apologies for any followers. Probably none as it has been some time since my last update.
We (Fraser Price Consulting) have had a busy September and busy-ish October but it is very quiet now. Very strange!!
So I have updated the web page style using a fantastic tool called Jimdo (www.jimdo.com). Tried it out for free initially this week and then created a duplicate of our current www.dynamicsnavconsultant.co.uk web page using Jimdo. Look and feel is much better so bought a new domain www.dynamicsnavukhelp.co.uk and added in the new created web page.
We would love to know what people think!
I will also be keeping an eye on it for search engine optimisation (SEO) to see if we get many hits.
We have a good summer in picking up several new Dynamics Nav clients but all they initially needed was some training. One set of on site training was pre purchase including installation of the 2009 demo. All for a very good price of £600 per day! Another set of training was for Dynamics Nav v5 German edition. Both had different styles of training (one was interactive with users using the system while I taught, the other was more of a run through. I am hoping for more work but only time will tell!
Working on a Jimdo web page for our accounts, book keeping and tax side of the business. We rarely get business from web searches (usually work of mouth) but I have never liked the layout of the web page and we can do better. So watch this space.
By the by, Jimdo Pro is £60pa including new domain registration (if appropriate) for each domain. Pro allows for SEO and all sorts of other stuff key for a business web page. But not for a personal web page. The free version includes a Jimdo advert on the right hand side.
That's all for this week. Fingers crosssed for more work next week.

Dynamics Nav training - 2009 RTC and Classic
Well just spent the last week providing training to 1 new client and an existing client.
The first set was a run through what was involved (step by step) in configuring Dynamics Nav 2009 Classic and how it could be used for end to end financial back office processes and more importantly reporting.
Dynamics Nav consolidation process is not the best on the market but with a bit of planning etc it can be a very powerful tool for group reporting!
2nd set of training was how to complete a base configuration for Dynamics Nav for the off the shelf product. This involved actually completing the base configuration as well.
So I have updated the web pages for the 2 different styles of training.
Next week we are providing the first of 3 days training for the financial processes in Dynamics Nav 2009 Role Taylored Client (RTC). And a visit to a new client (hopefully) to firm up on a development quote.
Also had some marketing advice for the web sites and and as a result updated the main pages for the current 20% promotion re days rates and included more than 1 reference to 'Call us on...'.
That's all for this time! Hot and wet here in Notts!

Well it has been a while!
A little gob smacked it was Oct 2011 when I last did a blog!
It has been a very busy 6 months with Dynamics Nav services to clients including the usual mix of major and minor developments as well as new business configurations, the roll out of Dynamics Nav consolidation and many many other reports.
Full range of Dynamics Nav services listed here.
We have had some potential new customer enquiries but for some reason most are in relation to the manufacturing module in Nav. We have a working knowledge of this but no more than that.
Found a potential business contact who are local and specialise in the manufacturing module but do not specialise in the areas we do. May be a good link up. On top of that they are also a Dynamics Nav Solution Centre and so sell licensing. We are too small for this although we have Nav accreditations.
So we have lit a lull in work and are now actively looking for more work.
So if you need some Nav developments doing (no job too small!) i.e. new functionality or new reports, then let us know. Contact details are navhelp@fraserpriceconsulting.co.uk.
Same goes for implementations, new busines configurations, data migrations, training, first line fixed price support. Equally if you just need someone to oversee or manage your Dynamics Nav implementation (because it is not delivering), contact us. Or it may be the Solution Centre assigned to you by Microsoft is not 'cutting the mustard', we can help - either by taking over or by managing the Solution Centre on your behalf.
That's all for now folks!

No rest for the wicked!
Another busy week!
Met up with another Dynamics Nav consultant that lives locally. Always good to get new contacts just in case I get overloaded.
Work this week has included the new 3 days a week on site for a client. Various bits of work completed on site including fixed assets data migration and balance off the FA note, report developments and general support advice on Navision v4 SP3. Contract lasts until beginning of Dec 2011 and loads of work to keep me busy until then. This client also required a pure Dynamics Nav developer as one that was scheduled failed to turn up. Recommended a colleague who is being interviewed Tuesday next week. He will be a good resource for then as he has been a developer for more than 10 years.
Also completed some data migration for Navision v4. Customers and vendors. More data migration re opening transactions etc to follow in the next 2 weeks.
On site for another client on the day they started to use Dynamics Nav 2009 Classic. Sat in the background providing advice / fixes as required. Went well!
Various other support issues that arose in the week resolved.
That's all for now!

Another day another dollar....
Another busy week. On client site for 2 days this week with a regular 3 days a week on site attendance each week for the next 2 months. First day managed to resolve a coding issue in bespoke Nav v4 for the same client.
More development work completed for another client on Dynamics Nav 2009 RTC. Amended undo ship and undo receipt codeunit to allow GL codes as well as items codes. Not sure why not included by default as the impact is minimal. Fix to ensure Sell to customer price and discount groups takes precedence over Bill to. Changes to posting options re Ship/Invoice/Ship & Invoice and Receive/Invoice/Receive and Invoice to remove latter option from each and ensure Receive / Ship is default option for user. New customer statement report created and tested for same client.
User testing about to start on major development for another client. Hopefully all will be ok and I can then transfer to live and, more importantly, bill. Need to remember to multiple next quote for this client by a factor of 2 to account for extended time it takes for user tests.
Not much happening on book keeping side. Staff waiting for me to review.
Completed all initial config and data migration work for one client on Dynamics Nav v5. Just need to complete customer statement development.

It is the week end tomorrow....
Thank goodness.
Busy week again for Dynamics Nav (Navision) work. 2 go lives this week - 1 for a client whon has managed his own data migration. We have been the support act as and when required. Gone very well. The other go live is going well as well. Data migration complete. Loads of user queries re missing data. This go live had a very quick turnaround from sign off of quote (2 weeks ago) to actual go live - this week. Basically create a new business on the same database, configure and migrate data to ensure users can use.
Phone calls this week re potential Dynamics Nav work. Time will tell as to whether we get more business. More quotes submitted to existing clients for work development and configuration work. One client needs new businesses in Nav with base configuration followed by data migration (masters, open items and TB history).
Out at new client for 3 days next week providing Nav support for an existing old implementation. Navision v4.
Apart from that, not much happening! :)

Has been a while....
No blogs for ages. Busy busy which is good for the business.
Cracking August and September looking good as well.
Dynamics Nav work in progress at the moment is configuration and data migration for a client including recreating sales and purchase documents in a new business on a Nav v5 database. Completed work to date on client go live for week after next. Advisory role supporting key project resource at client. Client completing most of the data migration using the tools in Nav 2009. Go live on RTC.
Most of the way through some big developments for another client for Nav 2009 Classic. Changes still coming through at this late stage but all complete. Started a smaller Nav 2009 Classis development for the same client this week. Will be done and dusted by mid week next week.
On the accounts side, quite a few clients needing some annual accounts (for one client we already do their management accounts each month) and tax returns etc. Need to get these completed asap and then charge.
On the administration front, gave notice to quit office space this week. We will be out of these offices by mid December. Back to the office in the back garden at home. Need to sort out all the admin associated with the move including packing up all the files and terminating various agreements re telephone and broadband.
Feels like more than this has been happening but that is all I can think of for the moment.
Nevermind - week end tomorrow.
