The new certifications for Microsoft Dynamics™ and related business products start going into effect November 2006! These new certification titles align more closely with the certifications for other Microsoft technologies such as SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 to help provide you with more consistent information and easier access to certification content when you’re working toward certifications across multiple Microsoft technologies. Certified individuals will enjoy the same certification benefits as before but will also enjoy some new benefits. Individuals preparing to achieve certification will also have easier access to preparation information for their certification exams.


New Certification Titles, Same Requirements to Achieve Certification
In order to achieve better alignment with certifications across Microsoft technologies, two new certification titles will replace the former Microsoft Business Solutions Certified Professional and Master titles. Although the titles have changed, the exam requirements to achieve these certifications remain the same. Individuals who have already passed exams and achieved a current Microsoft Business Solutions Certified Professional or Master Certification title will not need to retake the exams to enjoy the rewards of being certified. Certified individuals will be referred to as:

• Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions Specialist
  This title replaces the Microsoft Business Solutions Certified Professional title. The achievement of this certification helps demonstrate an individual’s proficiency in one module of a Microsoft Dynamics or related business product. Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions Specialists must pass a single certification exam for a Microsoft Dynamics or related business product to earn the title.
• Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions Professional
  This title replaces the Microsoft Business Solutions Certified Master title. Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions Professional is a premier certification that shows an individual has completed a pre-determined set of required and elective certification exams. These include certification exams for Microsoft Dynamics and related business products, as well as certification exams for other Microsoft technologies such as SQL Server. The pre-determined set of required and elective exams for this certification are focused on one of three specific knowledge areas – Applications, Developer, or Installation and Configuration – for one Microsoft Dynamics product. This certification helps demonstrate an individual’s broad and deep knowledge of a Microsoft Dynamics product — more knowledge than what is needed to achieve a Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions Specialist title.

Benefits of Certification
Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions Specialist and Professional designations help identify and distinguish an individual’s technical skill set using a Microsoft Dynamics or related business product. These certifications are widely recognized by industry employers and provide an objective validation of an individual’s knowledge. Organizations that employ Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions Specialists and Professionals can benefit from a complete approach to learning: Certified individuals usually have higher skills retention and increased productivity. Organizations can potentially streamline their employee recruitment process and lower their external support costs and downtime by maintaining technically skilled employees when they require Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions Specialist and Professional certifications.

• Increased Technical Skills and Productivity – By encouraging employees and prospective employees to be certified using Microsoft Dynamics and related business products, you can potentially maintain a more skilled, efficient and productive staff. A well-trained staff, proven by certifications, helps your business deliver projects on time and within budget, which can also help increase customer satisfaction. Maintaining certified subject matter experts on staff helps increase the efficiency of all your employees by having a resource to which individuals can turn for problem solving guidance and project management support. By encouraging your customers to maintain a certified staff, you customers can potentially prevent problems from occurring in their solution and quickly resolve problems when they do occur, which decreases their external support costs and unscheduled downtime. Having a Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions Specialists or Professional credential can show that an individual is knowledgeable on Microsoft Dynamics and related business products, enabling them to demonstrate the real-world technical skills employers are looking for, leading to greater career opportunities.
• Recruitment of New Employees – As a business decision maker, you can use certification credentials to help pre-select and screen qualified candidates more quickly and efficiently. Certifications are a strong differentiator between candidates’ skills and knowledge, which help you find the right employee for the job.
• Staff Motivation and Rewards – Requiring certification within your organization helps influence your staff to better learn in-depth skills and increase their skill retention. Preparation for certification helps encourage your staff to learn skills and tasks they may otherwise not be inclined to learn. Certification helps provide measurable proof of the effectiveness of your training investments. You can use certifications as a benchmark for promotion and to reward employees for exceptional performance. A logo program is also being developed to create added incentives for individuals to get certified by providing a recognizable mark that can be added to letterhead and business cards to assist in promoting an individual’s skills.

Easier Access to Certification Exam Preparation Information
There are two great resources available to help individuals prepare for certification exams:

• Certification Exam Preparation Guides are a great tool to help an individual plan the training needed to successfully pass a certification exam. The Certification Exam Preparation Guides available on PartnerSource, and on CustomerSource for your customers, outline all of the training that coincides with a particular certification exam while indicating how much of each subject area will be covered on an exam. The Certification Exam Preparation Guides also offer pass rate information to help an individual gauge the difficulty level of the certification exam. In 2007, Certification Exam Preparation Guides for exams on Microsoft Dynamics and related business products will be available on the Microsoft Learning Web site for easier access.
• Learning Plans are available through PartnerSource and on CustomerSource for your customers. They can help you identify the appropriate learning tracks that link directly to an individual’s or your organization’s goals for achieving certifications and specializations in particular areas within a Microsoft Dynamics product.
