I had to throw this in my blog. We are working on converting MAS 200 to Dynamics NAV. I do not like putting down any ERP, and I fully believe that each ERP system has a place in the ERP flora (otherwise it would not sell), but I couldn’t help my self with this one. Read the rest of this entry »
It is clearly a pandemic! Swine flu has gotten everywhere. Now it is even delaying our projects. Key project member on the customer side had a swine flue scare. We are pushed a month.
