I am one of the featured speakers at the conference, and my session titled “Sure Step Methodology in Agile Environment: Delivering More ERP Value in Less Time” will focus on an ever-hot topic of generating value through ERP.

NAV Decisions is an independent conference organized by MSDynamicsWorld.com. This live online venue is free to attendees and supported by our sponsors. We build this event upon our leading online news and product information resources to provide a conference experience that brings attendees the latest thinking and perspective from the world of Dynamics NAV.

NAV Decisions 2009 is simply the most informative and effective way to hear from the strategic and thought leaders in the Dynamics NAV community. We bring together senior management from Microsoft, the VAR community, and independent experts to discuss the topics that matter to the organizations using Dynamics NAV.

Attending the conference will let you:

• Get up to speed on the latest trends, technologies and strategies for Dynamics NAV

• Listen to real-world customer success stories

• Discover the secrets to establishing priorities and gaining commitment across the organization for your NAV strategy

• Explore which NAV tools will bring you the most success

• Learn how to navigate your way through a successful NAV upgrade

• Drive greater efficiency and productivity from your dynamics system during tough times.

My session will focus primarily on Sure Step, a topic I’ve covered here many times. Microsoft has developed the Sure Step and promoted it among partners as a standard implementation methodology. It is focused on delivering clear value to the customers, but in its core it’s a ‘waterfall’ methodology. ERP investments on average reach the break-even point only after 30 months, while in the times of economic turmoil customers are looking for faster ROI. This presentation explores the benefits and risks of the waterfall and agile approaches, and how Sure Step can be put to work in a more agile environment to deliver more value in considerably shorter implementation time frames.
