We will also touch on User Documentation, help and training guides.
Freelance Consultants
One of the greatest sources of high end skills that you can find is a Navision Freelance Consultant Here we discuss the pros and cons of using a third party to supplement the skills and resources of your NSC.
Budget
I just want to give some of my ideas of budget for different Navision projects, this is very subjective, and will give you a picture of the outline of a budget, it is not designed to tell you how much your project will cost.

Hot issues to look out for during implementation
These are the Navision red flags. You are going to meet some of them, and you are going to add to the list. This is just a bit of my experience that may help you. I will say now that these stories are all true, and actually happened.
