Flemming's Weblog on Dynamics AX : How fast are you implementing Microsoft Dynamics AX?

How fast are you implementing Microsoft Dynamics AX?

Pre-sales and implementation time is something that is of great concern not only to partners but to the Dynamics AX Partner Productivity team, part of the development group in Microsoft Dynamics AX.

To take advantage of the increasing license sales that have accompanied the new release of Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 partners will need to either hire more Microsoft Dynamics AX consultants …or reduce implementation time. The Microsoft Dynamics AX Partner Productivity team has a charter to reduce the time partners spend on implementations and wish to offer assistance.

Would you like:

  • more support during pre-sales, diagnostic and analysis activities
  • better developer content, end-user instructions, and pre-configured data
  • tools to capture best practices to on-board new employees faster and reduce risk during implementation
  • to spend a larger percentage of your time providing customers value-added services that allow you to differentiate yourself from your competitors
  • reduce time on inefficient tasks during implementation and charge your customers in full for your efforts

If you are a partner and have answered YES to any of these questions, please connect with the Microsoft Dynamics AX Partner Productivity team by emailing us at daxppext@microsoft.com. The team has prepared a short survey requiring partner input to understand how your time is spent. The Microsoft Dynamics AX Partner Productivity team will use the survey results to develop tools and content to ease major pain points resulting in shorter implementation cycles.

The, soon-to-be-released Microsoft Dynamics Implementation Model and the just released Rapid Configuration Tool for Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 are examples of tools we are working on.

The Microsoft Dynamics AX Partner Productivity team would like to engage with as many partners as possible, so please Help us help you!

Whether you're leaving the office for the holidays, going on vacation, or are going on a business trip, there are a number of things you can do to prepare your computer for your time away. Cancelling appointments and letting people know you'll be gone are just a few of the things you can do to make sure your responsibilities are covered and people aren't trying to meet with you. Here are some best practices to make sure your work goes on smoothly, even when you're gone.

1. Decline upcoming meetings

Decline or cancel any upcoming meetings that are scheduled while you're gone. Co-workers will not expect you to be at meetings and will know not to attend recurring meetings you run. To decline a meeting using Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 and 2007, simply complete the following:

1.

Open the meeting occurrence and click Decline.

2.

If you're the organizer of the meeting, either send a cancellation or arrange for a co-worker to run the meeting.

To cancel the meeting in Outlook 2003, open the meeting occurrence and in the Actions menu click Cancel Meeting.

To cancel the meeting in Outlook 2007, simply select the meeting tab and select the Cancel Meeting icon.

2. Update your voice mail greeting

Record a voice message that lets people know you're going to be out of the office for an extended amount of time. Provide the name of the person to contact for immediate assistance and let people know when you plan to return.

3. Make sure your mailbox doesn't exceed size limits

If you're gone for a long time, you run the risk of your Outlook 2003 or 2007 mailbox exceeding the size limit set by your IT department. A full mailbox will prevent you from sending or receiving e-mail while you're gone. Before you leave, use the Mailbox Cleanup tool in Outlook to check the size of your mailbox and manage its size. To use Mailbox Cleanup, on the Tools menu, click Mailbox Cleanup. You'll be able to view the total size of your mailbox and individual folders, find and archive items older than a certain date, and more.

4. Block off time in your calendar

Don't forget to mark your Outlook calendar to show co-workers that you're gone. That way, they'll see you're not available and won't schedule meetings with you. To block off the time, just create an appointment in Outlook that shows you're out of the office:

1.

In the File menu, point to New and click Appointment.

2.

In Start time, select the date you're leaving. In End time, select the date you're returning.

3.

If you're leaving for just one day, click the All day event box.

4.

Under Show time as, select Out of Office.

5.

Click Save and Close.

5. Keep your password from expiring

Your IT department might have a limit on how long your password will be valid before you need to change it. If you're going away for more than 14 days, change your network password to ensure it won't expire while you're gone. To change your password, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and select Change Password.

6. Check in work files

If you go on vacation with a file checked out, your team members can't work on the most recent version of that file. Make sure to check in all your files before leaving the office.

7. Secure your laptop

Laptop computers are a common target of theft. If you're not taking your laptop with you on vacation, take it home or lock it in your desk. If you do take your laptop with you, learn 9 ways to secure your laptop on the road.

8. Turn on your out of office assistant

Use the Outlook Out of Office Assistant to let people who send you an e-mail know you're away. This Outlook feature enables you to set an automated reply to messages sent to you while you're out. In the reply, let people know who to contact while you're gone. You can also set up rules to file the messages you receive, send special responses to specific people, and more.

To use the Out of Office Assistant in Outlook, on the Tools menu click Out of Office Assistant. You can create an autoreply message to let people know important information—such as when you'll be back and who to contact in the case of an emergency.
