Offshore Development Centre (Columbus International) is looking for Axapta developers

[denm]

BTW, I would like to note additionally that ODC is working with a number of different products such as:
- Dynamics AX (including AX 4.0)
- Dynamics Nav (including Nav 4.0)
- SharePoint Portal 2007
- MS CRM 3.0
And as I wrote in the adv. above we’ve started to work with Ax 4.0 already in Dec’05.
And at the moment we’re going to participate in several projects on Ax 4.0 with our EU and US offices.

So, if you like to be first and meet the newest products – this is the place you should be!
And I suppose that it’s never late to get in train… especially if it follows the right way!
And I’m still open for your questions!

Sincerely,
Denis Makolin

Thanks for the question.

If briefly - we've participated in the project regarding implementation of internal TMS in our headquarter. This system was already developed on Ax 3.0 and had web-interface (on EP). Implementation of this system took approx 3,5 thousands of hours.

What we've had to do are:
1. Transfer application from 3.0 till 4.0
2. Apply the new best practice
3. Setup SharePoint portal for Web access
I suppose you can imagine that it wasn't an easy walk to perform these activities. But it was really interesting to work with the new system (when the project kicked off - there was only 1st drop of Ax).

This project continued from Dec'05 till May'06 and at the moment we provide support of the system.

Hope this brief answer is quite satisfying

If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact with me by e-mail.

Sincerely,
Denis Makolin

Denis, does this fugure mean your team had no workload for end-customer projects that time? How big is your team (approx. ) ? 3.500 hours sonds like a huge project in Axa. It's funny CIAS invests so big efforts into internal development on 'old' 3.0 platform announcing that "Columbus IT has big experience in Axapta 4.0 and access to the application since 2005" or something like that.

Thanks for a good question.
I would like to use this opportunity to give some additional clarifications:
1. ODC is not working with end-customers at all. Our customers are affiliates of CIT, i.e. offices in different countries. And they sell our services to their end-customers.

2. Our team is not so big But all our developers are really experienced guys.

3. I've meant that the previous system we transferred to 4.0 was developed during several years (the development was started on 2.5 and then continued on 3.0) and there were paid a lot of hours for the development. I suppose you should understand that transferring of application, which was developed for so long time is taking a lot of efforts. But we did it and it was done appropriately.

Yes, I do understand. But my experience tells me it's better to throw 2.5 code away and start from the scratch. I can imagine how many time your team spent fighting with old-style coding and appoaches .
