The CRM and ERP market is expected to grow into a $ 36 Billion market by 2017. Over 30,000 enterprises in more than 80 countries and 40 languages depend on Microsoft Dynamics, a line of ERP and CRM software application. With a vast customer base and rich popularity, the job market for Microsoft Dynamics Consultants is going to be a lucrative one. Understanding the need for trained work force in this industry, Locus IT Services, an Indian Initiative, pioneered the idea that ERP & CRM applications can assure the best ROI for companies willing to streamline their business.

Established in 2007, Locus IT Services based in Bangalore is a leader in providing innovative ERP services to various clients across the globe. The Microsoft Gold Certified Partner company is transferring the entire team experience to the students as well as industry professionals who dream of becoming Microsoft Dynamics Consultants through Locus Learning Systems. "We don't have concept of classroom trainers. All faculties are real time ERP consultants from Locus IT Services," says Rohith Kudukuli, Program Manager, Locus IT Services. With the in house faculties having an average of six years experience as ERP consultants, the institute provides certified courses in both financial and technical modules of Microsoft Dynamics. "Students who graduated in any of the business oriented degrees can opt for financial module and those who have completed courses such as engineering and MCA can join for the technical module," says Kudukuli. Students as well as working professionals can now enjoy the advantage of flexible timings offered by the institute for its programs. They can become certified consultants in a time span of 40 ­ 60 hours. Students who are keen to become ERP consultants and have enough time in hand can enroll for the regular program and complete the course in a week's time. "We have regular class for students and have weekend classes for industry people who are currently the end users of ERP software and wish to become consultants," says Kudukuli.

"Trainees can become certified consultants in a time span of 40 t0 60 hours"

As the courses are intense, the management ensures all students to receive enough practical knowledge about Microsoft Dynamics. The Institute provides laptops in classrooms so that students can practice along with the voice and videos of trainers. This helps students to create a concrete conceptual base about the lessons taught in the classrooms.

Locus IT Services is the major recruiter for this institute as the company itself is a leading ERP service provider. With rich client base and highly experienced in house consultants, Kudukuli is confident in saying that, "We deploy our students either in our client's place or we hire them. Every eight out of ten students from our institute are placed as efficient Microsoft Dynamics consultants.
