Alex Chow has been working with Microsoft Dynamics NAV since 1999. He has done hundreds of implementations across multiple industries. The size of businesses Alex has works with range from $2 million a year mom and pop-shops to $500 million a year multi-national corporations.

Throughout his Dynamics NAV career, he is frequently designated as the primary person responsible for the successful and failure of a Dynamics NAV implementation. The fact that Alex is still in the Dynamics NAV business means that he's been pretty lucky so far.

Alex has done implementation in all functions and modules in Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision) with practical and impractical requirements and business rules. From this experience, he has learned that sometimes you have to be a little crazy to gain a competitive edge.

Alex keeps a blog at www.dynamicsnavconsultant.com to share his experiences in Dynamics NAV (Navision). He is also the founder of AP Commerce, Inc. (www.apcommerce.com), a full service Dynamics NAV (Navision) service center.

Alex lives in Southern California with his beautiful wife and two lovely daughters. He is the luckiest man in the world.

Surely, many among you will have read some of Eric's posts on Mibuso.com, Dynamicsusers.net, or his own blog www.waldo.be, which he invariably signs with waldo. In 2008, he co-founded the Belgian Dynamics Community, a platform for all Belgian Dynamics NAV users, consultants, and partners, enabling knowledge sharing and networking. His proven track record entitled him to be awarded as MVP (Microsoft Most Valuable Professional) every year since 2007.

Matt Traxinger graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2005 with a B.S. in Computer Science, specializing in Human Computer Interaction and Cognitive Science. After college he took 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 following, Matt learned all areas of the product and earned MCITP certifications in both technical and functional areas of NAV. He continues to stay current with new releases of the product and is certified in multiple areas for versions 4.0, 5.0, and 2009. Currently, Matt works as a developer for ArcherPoint, one of the most experienced NAV partners in the United States, and helps companies model NAV to their business processes.

Matt is also the author of another book in Packt's Dynamics NAV series: Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Programming Cookbook. It is a collection of short, easy to read recipes or tutorials about writing code for NAV.

In his spare time you can find him on the online communities Mibuso.com and DynamicsUser.net under the name MattTrax, helping others learn more about the Dynamics NAV software, or writing free solutions for the I Love NAV community (www.ILoveNAV.com).

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. When 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 10 years later, Daniel is still working with NAV. He currently works for Archerpoint, one of the largest and most experienced Microsoft Dynamics NAV partners in the USA, and he is enjoying his career more than ever.

Daniel has had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of roles such as Developer, Analyst, Designer, Team Lead, Project Manager, Consultant, and more. Although he has a very versatile experience with all things related to NAV, his main focus is custom development, with a bias towards helping his customers solve NAV performance issues on SQL Server.

Ever since he started working with NAV, Daniel 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, Daniel received his first of seven consecutive Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Awards in July 2005, which was just the second year that the MVP Award was given out for NAV. The MVP Award is given out by Microsoft to independent members of technology communities around the world, and recognizes people that share their knowledge with other members of the community.

Daniel has also served as a reviewer for "Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Application Design" by Mark Brummel.

Daniel lives with his wife and two kids in Michigan in the USA.
