Microsoft Awards Sikich Microsoft Dynamics AX Developer as Most Valuable Professional
NAPERVILLE, IL — July 10, 2012 — Joris de Gruyter, Microsoft Dynamics AX senior developer at Sikich LLP, a leading accounting, advisory, technology and managed services firm, was awarded the Most Valuable Professional (MVP) designation by Microsoft. This honor is given to professionals who share their passion for and real-world knowledge of Microsoft products with the technology community, and de Gruyter is one of only 17 MVPs worldwide and four in the U.S. who are focused on Microsoft Dynamics AX.
“Joris has the unique capabilities of a brilliant technical consultant, and a passion for creating and deploying new technologies that enable our clients to experience value in their Microsoft Dynamics AX investments,” said Al Galinot, partner of Sikich’s Microsoft Dynamics AX practice. “A seasoned professional and leader, Joris impacts the Microsoft Dynamics community by sharing his knowledge. We are incredibly proud of his accomplishments, and he has truly earned this prestigious award.”
With 10 years of experience in Microsoft Dynamics AX development, de Gruyter has implemented the enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution for businesses across the United States and Europe in multiple languages. A leader within the Microsoft community, he wrote and presented hands-on labs at the first-ever Dynamics AX Technical Conference, which offered the first public showing and details about Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. De Gruyter volunteers at Microsoft Dynamics Convergence computer labs and within Microsoft Dynamics AX Community Forums, and spreads his knowledge through a personal Microsoft Dynamics AX development blog. He is also a Microsoft Certified Trainer and Microsoft Certified IT Professional in Dynamics AX Development.
“Receiving the Microsoft MVP designation is a great honor—I am joining a select group of experts who are recognized for their knowledge, and willingness to communicate that knowledge, with their respective product communities,” said de Gruyter. “This is a reminder that sharing our expertise does not reduce one’s competitiveness, but rather increases the quality of Microsoft products and services, which benefits everyone, including our customers. This designation is very rewarding, and is great motivation to continue contributing to the community.”
