The Dynamics AX User Group was formed by users for the benefit of users and is proud to be independent of Microsoft. While we continue to focus on our independence and providing our members with unbiased information, we also have a very strong collaborative relationship with Microsoft. This relationship has significantly strengthened over the last year as visible through AXUG programming, but was specifically a highlight at AXUG Summit.

One of the many benefits provided to Premium Members of AXUG is a direct line into Microsoft for providing product and service feedback as well as getting clear and direct communications directly from individuals on the AX product team. We are pleased with and grateful for the time and commitment of all of the Microsoft Dynamics team members who were present at AXUG Summit 2009. Below is a listing of the Dynamics teams who were present in Chicago:

• AX Product Marketing
• AX Product Support
• AX Research & Development
• Microsoft Dynamics Community Team
• Microsoft Dynamics Customer Reference Team
• User Experience Team
