Microsoft Business Management Solutions Specialist and Professional Certifications

Advance your career by earning a Microsoft Dynamics certification that shows employers you have the market-relevant technical skills they seek. Pursue a Microsoft Business Management Solutions Specialist certification to demonstrate your proficiency in a specific module of a Microsoft Dynamics product. Or show your expertise in a Microsoft Dynamics knowledge area such as applications, developer, or installation and configuration by earning the premier Microsoft Business Management Solutions Professional certification. You decide which certification best supports the direction you want your career to take.

More than 11,000 organizations currently use Microsoft Dynamics solutions. That translates to more than 500,000 users who need the support of certified professionals. So why are you waiting? Take advantage of this opportunity and expand your employment options by earning a Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions credential. Distinguish your technical skills related to any of these Microsoft Dynamics products:

  • Microsoft Dynamics CRM: A solution that helps large and small businesses across every industry improve their business process management to become more responsive, productive, and focused on customers.

  • Microsoft Dynamics AX: A comprehensive business management solution for medium-sized and large organizations. Microsoft Dynamics AX resembles and works with familiar Microsoft software to help improve productivity.

  • Microsoft Dynamics GP: A business management solution that offers companies an operating system, a database, personal productivity tools, and an e-mail system that work together.

  • Microsoft Dynamics NAV: A comprehensive business management solution that is ideal for small and medium-sized organizations. Microsoft Dynamics NAV simplifies access to information, improves organizational agility, streamlines integration with a wide range of applications, and enhances reporting capabilities.

  • Microsoft Dynamics SL: A solution for automating everyday processes and improving business operations for small and medium-sized companies that need to integrate with other systems and improve customer service.

  • Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS): A solution that helps small and medium-sized retail organizations run operations more efficiently, improve service levels, and make confident business decisions that stimulate growth.

  • Microsoft Dynamics Point of Sale (POS): A solution that makes it easier for organizations to manage and track sales, inventory, and customer information.

Microsoft offers two different categories of Microsoft Dynamics certifications: Solutions Specialist and Solutions Professional. Solutions Specialist certifications are designed for candidates who are interested in focusing on one module of a Microsoft Dynamics product, such as the Customization module in Microsoft Dynamics CRM or the Financials module in Microsoft Dynamics GP. The Solutions Professional certifications offer in-depth certification paths that focus on one of three knowledge areas of a Microsoft Dynamics product: Applications, Developer, or Installation and Configuration.

Earning a Microsoft Dynamics credential can lead the way to greater career opportunities. Industry employers recognize Microsoft Certifications as an objective validation of your knowledge and real-world technical skills. Additionally, the Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions logos add credibility and distinction to your resume, proposals, and other business materials, helping you grow your business or advance your career.

If you are already certified or working toward certification in one Microsoft technology, consider earning multiple certifications. Certifications for Microsoft Dynamics and related business products align closely with certifications for other Microsoft technologies, such as Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database software and the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 development system. The knowledge you gain by earning one certification can support your efforts in earning additional certifications. Various Microsoft Certifications complement one another and distinguish your resume even further.
