Another Thought on Training

Training marks the difference in the field between exceptional Dynamics CRM partners and those who just market that they are Dynamics CRM partners (and who are paying the price in time, dollars and internal marketing hits both to the product and to the partner technical credibility)

As far as I can tell - Microsoft is still trying to figure out what to do about this. Although you might have noticed that they have expanded their Dynamics CRM certification suite from 4 tests with a masters level capstone exam to 6 (or more).
