Codexis uses Microsoft Dynamics GP for their ERP solution, and in 2014, they sought training for their staff. There were new users, but there were also experienced users who needed refresher training amongst the staff.
The Right Partner
Codexis chose Microsoft Dynamics Gold Certified Partner MIG & Co. for the training they wanted, citing the price, the Gold Certification, and the initial talks with MIG. MIG offers a variety of training courses for both Microsoft Dynamics GP and SL, as well as customized training.
The initial talks enabled MIG to ascertain the Codexis’ specific training needs, after which MIG created a custom, tailored agenda designed to help the staff get the most value out of Microsoft Dynamics GP. The training emphasized the major financial modules, distribution, inventory, and Management Reporter.

The Right Training
Tabbert Teng, Senior Director of Finance at Codexis, says that the training was “pretty seamless,” and that “everyone was very happy with it.”
Alan Cavigliano, Associate Director, Supply Chain, wrote to MIG in an email, “I received a tremendous amount of value and insight attending your training sessions”, and added, “Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us all.”
Benefits of Training
Many Microsoft Dynamics GP implementations are focused on configuration and customization, and empowering the end users to best utilize the system gets little attention. MIG provides not just implementation, but also training and support so that their clients can get the most out of their technology investment.
Microsoft Dynamics GP is a powerful business management solution that delivers a vast toolbox to help users do more and to do it more quickly. The better users understand all of the functionality and capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the greater the return on an organization’s technology investment will be.
That is what makes training as important an investment as the business management solution itself. Training not only pays for itself in greater staff efficiency, but in the long run it leads to money saved and banked. Inefficient use of the system can lead to hundreds of lost staff hours, while MIG training costs as little as $990, up to $5,280.
