This book is written from the perspective of a project manager, encompassing all the areas to create a successful Dynamics AX implementation. Solution architects, functional and technical consultants, business Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), super users, IT managers, and technology leaders who are in the process of planning or undergoing a Microsoft Dynamics AX implementation will also benefit from the insights provided in this book. The book will help you during every phase of the implementation with what to expect, the common pitfalls to avoid, and tips and tricks learned from our experiences. Most of these techniques are useful irrespective of the Microsoft Dynamics AX version. The Dynamics AX product has evolved since Microsoft acquired it, and while rich features and scalability have been added, there is also added complexity. We have tried to provide insights into relevant information for each phase of the project in a single resource to help manage this complexity. This book will be especially helpful to small/medium business customers that do not have the luxury to engage multiple resources with individual skillsets.

Every business has its unique business model and organizational culture, and that brings unique challenges for the ERP implementation. While going through this book, you will encounter many recommendations, guidelines, and experiences; however, you may need to fine-tune the recommendations as per your specific need based on the particular project size, timeline, business organization structure, and industry.
