Kim Dallefeld, MVP
Microsoft MVP
CEO / Sr Consultant
Dallefeld Consulting
- Learn More ...
Independent NAV Consultant certified in Dynamics NAV 27 years ago (yes, I started on version 1.0) and am now working with Business Central! My goal is to empower companies to get the most out of NAV and BC with experience in virtually all areas of the product. I believe that combining years of NAV/BC knowledge with my accounting and consulting background is a unique set of skills rarely found in a technically oriented individual. Whether you want extra support, are in the middle of an upgrade or implementation, or youāre working on process or enhancements...we are ready to assist! We help bridge gaps; that's our forte. Practical skills help identify what users really need/want in BC to get the blueprint. With years of working with BC/NAV, we know how to prepare the detailed comparison of users' needs to what BC does 'out-of-the-box,' and that lays the foundation of the project. Assisting analysts in how to configure BC to meet the userās requirements is a vital task in erecting the software infrastructure. My developer skills let me bridge the gap between user requests and the instructions developers need to modify the original blueprint correctly. Project management and communication help keep construction on track, on timeline and on budget. And I don't work alone; we have developed a team of senior resources to assist with virtually any of your BC/NAV system needs. We are a large team of senior independent NAV developers/consultants with 15-20 or more years of experience in BC and NAV. If you are an end-user, partner, or consultant and you need assistance with a small or long-term project, reach out....we can help!
