Dear Friends,
Microsoft has released bunch of new cloud-based services which allows customers and their partners to manage Microsoft Dynamics AX projects from pre-sales to implementation and operations.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm Simon and I write in behalf of Cognitive Group a UK-based Dynamics AX specialist IT recruitment agency.
We would like to get to know our digital neighbours a little better and so we are looking for long-term mutually beneficial relationships with dynamics AX blogs. As an initial offering, we would like to give our exclusive infographic to you. The infographic is titled "What makes a good Dynamic AX project manager" and was made by us, exclusively for the Dynamics AX community.
We are looking for high-quality dynamics AX blogs, where we could directly engage the community. This infographic will definitely interest your audience and they will likely find it thought-provoking and helpful. You will be given exclusive rights to publish it and to share it on your social networks before we publish it at our blog (we won't be publishing it 'til sometime next month.) We are only offering this to a few select dynamics blogs (both in the UK and internationally) as we are planning to engage the international Dynamics AX community as well.
We are only asking to be credited as the original creators of the infographic. Let me know if this is something you are interested in.
You can find and download the infographic here: http://cubeupload.com/im/WescJv.png
Since we are looking for a mutually beneficial long-term relationship, we would like to offer additional content as well. If you would be willing to post more infographics by us in the future, please let us know. If you are open to quality guest posts written by one of our experts in-house, also please let us know. For examples of the type of content we can offer, please check out our blog at: http://www.cognitive-group.com/blog/
Please let me know if you are interested in working with us at Cognitive group.
Have a wonderful day,
Simon Andras
