The early reviewers from the Dynamics AX Partner Advisory Board, who provided us with the crucial partner perspective.
We also want to thank the people at Microsoft Press who helped support us throughout the book writing and publishing process:
Ben Ryan, who championed the book project at Microsoft Press.
Maria Gargiulo, who provided valuable feedback during the developmental editing cycle.
Valerie Woolley, who was our outstanding, efficient, and always calming project editor. Val, we can’t thank you enough.
Arijit Basu, the technical reviewer, who asked the countless questions that made this book better than it would have been otherwise. Arijit, you rock.
Sally Stickney, who provided the final editing passes on this book. Her questions were insightful and precise, and her feedback was excellent. She went above and beyond the call of duty to bring excellence to this project.
