AXUG Summit 2014: Full Schedule

11:00am CDT

Business Transformation for Life: Thinking about Implementing Dynamics AX (and related systems) with Long-term Support in Mind

This session is built around why it is important to consider ongoing usage/support/maintenance of a system from the start. At each phases (Analysis, Planning, Implementation, Go-Live…) there are different things that should be taken into consideration regarding ongoing plans once the project is live. And making those decisions up front is critical to uncover gaps, avoid poor adoption, insure that company gets the most out of their investment ongoing. This session will highlight these important items with a nice analogy to family in life. Don't miss the chance to hear how all these things relate!
