    You might want to attend a training course specifically for GP Financials.  Check our www.IBGNET.com and look at their schedule of classes.

    Boy, you are right around the corner. If the roads clear up I'll be on the road Saturday afternoon - that would be a good time to call.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    Vikas, I can't really speak to GP vs. AX as I'm not an AX consultant.  One of the things I do to gauge the health of the consulting market is to look at job postings on some of the larger VARs like Tribridge, IBIS, etc.  Demand for different specialties as indicated in job postings I think is a good indicator of where the market is headed and hence the opportunities within the market.

    Hope this helps,

    Thank You Leslie for sharing the link. I see from your signature that you have done CPA and you are an MVP. I am also trying to combine my IT and CPA to shape up my career path but still exploring. Can you suggest what could be the possible venues I can explore?

    Thank You -- Vikas

    Frank, I am located in Texas, US working as SQL Server DBA and BI Developer, Pursuing Certified Public Accountant and trying to make a move towards functional side (Finance & Accounting) in specific. Currently I am exploring my options to enter into these Business Decision Tools but not sure which ones are going to fetch me a career. Also I am trying to compare GP Vs AX for the same reason, if you could throw some light in this direction.

    Thanks Once Again. Regards Vikas

    Considering that there are between 25,000 and 50,000 installs of GP worldwide and that number continues to grow each day, and your background and credentials, I think your prospects for developing a rewarding career are very favorable.  What part of the world are you located Vikas?

    Thank You Frank. This is helpful. Do you know what are the career prospects in Dynamics GP for a person coming from SQL SERVER and BI background and pursuing CPA. Not Sure about the outcome of this whole exercise.
