Alex Chow has been working with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, formerly Navision, since 1999. Over the years, he has conducted hundreds of implementations across multiple industries. The size of businesses he has worked for range from small enterprises that earn $2 million a year to multinational corporations that earn $500 million a year.
Throughout his Dynamics NAV career, he has often been designated as the primary person responsible for the success and failure of a Dynamics NAV implementation. The fact that he is still in the Dynamics NAV business means that he's been pretty lucky so far. His extensive career in the Dynamics NAV business is an evidence of his success rate and expertise.
With a background in implementing all the functions and modules in and out of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, he has encountered and resolved the most practical and complex requirements and business rules. Through these experiences, he has learned that sometimes you have to be a little crazy to have a competitive edge.
He strongly believes that sharing these experiences and knowledge will benefit the Dynamics NAV community. He writes about his journey at www.dynamicsnavconsultant.com. He is also the founder of AP Commerce, Inc. (www.apcommerce.com) in 2005, a fullservice Dynamics NAV service center. In addition, he has written a book on Dynamics NAV titled Getting Started with Dynamics NAV 2013 Application Development.
He lives in Southern California with his beautiful wife and two lovely daughters. He considers himself the luckiest man in the world.
Daniel Rimmelzwaan was born and raised in the Netherlands and moved to the USA at the end of 1999 to be with his new American wife. In Holland, he worked as a Microsoft Access and VBA developer. While looking for a job as a VB developer in the USA, he was introduced to Navision by a "VB Recruiter" and was intrigued by the simplicity of its development tools. He decided to accept a job offer as a Navision developer with the firm intention to continue looking for a "real" developer job.
More than 15 years later, after a couple of stints in the Microsoft partner channel and a few years as a freelancer, he currently works as the chief quality officer for KCP Dynamics Group, an international partner serving customers all over the world, and he enjoys his career more than ever.
Ever since he started working with NAV, he has been an active member of the online communities for NAV, such as mibuso.com, dynamicsuser.net, and the online forums managed by Microsoft. For his contributions to these online communities, he received his first of eleven consecutive Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Awards in July 2005, which was just the second year that the MVP Award was given for NAV. Microsoft gives the MVP award to independent members of technology communities around the world and recognizes people who share their knowledge with other members of the community.
He lives with his wife and two kids in Arizona, USA.
Matt Traxinger graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2005 with a BS in computer science. After college, he took up a job as an add-on developer using a language he was unfamiliar with for a product he had never heard of—Navision. It turned out to be a great decision.
In the years that followed, he learned all the areas of the product and earned certifications in multiple technical and functional areas of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. He currently works as a development manager for ArcherPoint, a Dynamics NAV solutions provider.
In 2012, he was recognized as a Microsoft MVP and continues to be actively involved in the community, working closely with NAVUG and the Association of Dynamics Professionals to educate the next generation of NAV professionals.
