Mark Brummel works as a freelancer. His main area of focus is helping out end users in Microsoft Dynamics NAV implementations all over the world. He has worked on over 100 projects in almost 20 years.

Mark is an all-round specialist, who excels in both functional consultancy and development. He started in 1997 as an end user and started working for the implementing partner in 1999. During these years, he has worked for resellers where designing and maintaining add-on systems were his specialization. Coaching colleagues and troubleshooting impossible problems are his passion and part of his day-to-day work. Mark has trained most of the experienced NAV developers for the NAV 2009 product in the Netherlands and Belgium, and he has worked with almost every NAV reseller in Benelux.

In 2010, Mark co-initiated Partner-Ready Software, a community-driven think tank that comes up with new and innovative ideas to improve the product. In 2011, Partner-Ready Software presented their ideas to Microsoft and have been working closely together ever since.

A special project has been design patterns. Together with Microsoft, a community website was created that contains dozens of frequently used patterns for Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

When he has time, Mark maintains his blog on www.brummelds.com. This blog contains a wide range of articles about Microsoft Dynamics NAV, SQL Server, and Visual Studio. He is also a frequent speaker at Microsoft events and writer for independent Dynamics NAV websites and user groups. Since 2006, Mark has been rewarded by Microsoft with the Most Valuable Professional award for his contribution to the online and offline communities, nine times in a row.
