Unusual request here. We are based in china, and will be paying for a local NAV expert to do the install and setup and helping us part time/training our future new hire.
In addition, we will be hiring a young programmer (23 to 28) to take over the day to day NAV maintenance and development work. However, the local(Shanghai) candidates we have found do not have NAV experience(doesnt exist in china). Therefore, the question is
What type of programming experience, languages, windows experience, professional background is best for someone who will have to LEARN everything from the beginning? For example, what programming languages, Microsoft experience, other qualifications would be most essential for BECOMING a future NAV developer.
Our requirements are basic for now
1 Implement our CRM for basic customer data management
2 create internal forms for data management
3 setup NAV so data is secure, and certain data forms can be shared between departments, but not all users(setup users/identities/access levels)
so pretty basic, and hopefully will learn more in time.
FYI, in shanghai its must cheaper to hire someone and pay them for 1 year while they learn then to get a NAV partner.
