AXUG Summit 2012 - Pre-Game Warm up Post

Well I trust everyone is getting ready and excited for the upcoming AXUG Summit 2012, set to kick off the week of October 15th in Seattle! There are a lot of great training oppurtunities, as well as knowledge sharing sessions. Find the full details from the agenda.



This year is going to be a land mark year I believe for the conference with so much great content. There are a lot of people interesting in Dynamics AX 2012 as well as plenty of customers looking to extend their value and knowledge base for Dynamics AX 2009.



First up for me, as the above image implies, I will be putting on a training session for the AXUG Academy around Organizational BI for AX 2012. This will cover topics, including AX-SSRS report development, Cubes, Role Centers, Contextual BI and more!



Following that I will have a session specifically around using Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 to Create a System of Engagement. As the name implies, which I first wrote about with "Creating a System of Engagement with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012", I will go into how topics like BI as well as Role Based modeling, can be used to truly have more than just a system of record. Instead we move beyond the mere transactional concept and think in terms of truly engaging the users with AX 2012. This means having this type of thought process from the start of the implementation, through to on-going support post go live!

All-in-all this AXUG Summit is set to be the best one yet. I will also be live covering the different sessions, sitting on panel discussions for different sessions around BI and AX, and more. If your going to be there, make sure and connect with me!

That's all for this warm up post, however check back soon as I finalize the series on XDS, going back to BI basics, as well as wrap up the Office 2013 mini-series. Further there is more exciting news around the cloud, and other topics like TypeScript that we need to cover. Till Next Time!
