Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions

Certifications for Microsoft Dynamics and related business products align closely with certifications for other Microsoft technologies, such as Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database software and the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 development system. As a result, if you are working toward certifications on multiple Microsoft technologies, you will benefit from more consistent information and find it easier to access certification resources.
