I've created a firm in Microsoft NAV but I have problems to set it up for a consultancy company.
But I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, should i create my consultants as Servicearticles?
I´ve created the various workplaces they can be placed in (our companies costumers) so we can put the consultants in different companies. But is it the right way to go? And if someone would be nice to explain how we can setup timesheets for these consultants that would be awesome!
Best regards three students trying to pass a course.
The best practise is to create your consultants as resources.
The resources can be attached to userid who is going to enter lines in the timesheet, and the userid that needs to approve the timesheet lines.
For more info regarding the timesheet:

Good luck with passing your course!

The company I work for has asked if I could try to create a dashboard that encorporates different sources but all reflect various aspect of the network status. One thing they asked if it we could show stuff like the spam rates for the entire company or delivery exception. I've tried to look for this, but I could not find if there is a API that I could use to get this type of information. Does microsoft support this kind of reporting?
kind regards,
Vincent
I have a requirement where my company CEO bought three more companies and now became 4 companies. Every company has its own Active Directory and they are on different locations within a city. How would I use different AD's for SharePoint? What kinda network do we need to bring so all companies can access SharePoint from there locations? etc
Got a requirement to implement SharePoint so all companies can work in collaborative manner and get alerts using email as well. Can anyone let me know what needs to be done in a proper sequence manner.

I would really appreciate your help.
I see that others have asked this question, but I haven't seen any 'how-to' answers for businesses that can't find their Place ID.
When I type my business name and address into the place id finder it does not return any results.
My business on google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Fancy+Fox/#41.6057788,-93.8500368,11z/data=!4m8!1m2!2m1!1sfancy+fox+des+moines!3m4!1s0x87ec24217b23e6fb:0x3cbf2ea78697e2ff!8m2!3d41.5973725!4d-93.701036?hl=en
Thank you for your help!
Try GMB Toolbox to decode your location to a Place ID http://gmb.reviewsmaker.com 😊
There are a couple of things you should be aware of:
Once you added your business in Google My Business you have to wait some time (probably up to 7 days) while the business will be available in the place autocomplete service.
If you created a Service Area Business, it probably won't appear in place autocomplete due to the following issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35831063
As I can see, you have indeed created a Service Area Business, it has a polygon on maps.google.com. I would suggest reaching out directly to Google support in the public issue tracker and ask them to help get a place ID.
UPDATE
As of March 2018 you can now search all businesses place IDs using the Google My Business place ID finder:

I’m preparing my graduation project from computer science, I made this website and it's running perfectly but my supervisor requested me to apply data mining on the website.
But I don’t understand what I should do.
The website is a social network, each user will have a profile and blog and access to some e-books that required you to be registered so you can download. The website also contains a music server that contains songs that a registered user can choose a song to download or to add it as a favorite in his profile page, the website contains ads (I used OpenX script), so this is most of the website services where I can perform data mining, the website is www.sy-stu.com.
I need ideas and what is the best way to present it in the interview?
You can ask your professor what was his intention of using data mining. Data mining algorithms can do various tasks, you need first define what you want to accomplish and then find some algorithms for this and technical possibilities.
Some ideas that came to my mind about usage of data mining in your project:
you can use data mining to find what songs (ebooks,etc.) can be favorited by a user based on other people favorites songs (find similarities, probably association rules would be a good algorithm for this).
you can use some clustering algorithms to group users based on some parameters and suggest them that they could become a connections with other people from the same group (if you have something like this)
Good luck!:)
Firstly, ask for clarification from your supervisor. Don't say 'What do you mean?', but ask 'Are you expecting something like this?' because it shows that you've at least thought about it.
If you can't think of anything, or your supervisor is vague, perform some simple data retrieval and analysis, e.g.
most active members
the most / least popular songs and books.
number of ads clicked etc
most popular website features
Just elementary analysis should suffice - you aren't doing a statistics degree. Work out the most songs downloaded in a day or per user, the average songs per user, how many users visit each day and how many sign up and never visit.
The purpose is to demostrate that your website is logging all activity, so that when you are asked 'how many books did the 20 most active users download in June' you will be able to work out the answer.
The alternative is a website that just runs and you don't have any knowledge of how your users are behaving and what they are doing, which means you aren't able to focus on things that they find important.
I dont know exactly what kind of data you are trying to mine, but have you check out google analytics? It is very easy to setup, once you register all you need is to include the javascript provided to your web pages. Google analytics will give you plenty of statistic about access to your site information regarding your site and visits. Is that what you need? The data produced is very easy to read as well and will be suitable for you to present I reckon.
Currently using SAS as measurement engine and Business Objects as display layer. Looking to develop a new, faster, slicker solution. Has anyone developed or purchased a campaign measurement reporting system? This solution should measure everything from email stats, web stats, customer activity, lift, ROI, etc.
Ok.. I'm researching and finding nada... We are working with a team from India and they want to re-write everything from scratch.. Any solutions out there at all?
If you are already using SAS, have you looked at their Marketing Automation software?
Update:
Just saw a press release from SAS about a new "Software as a Service" Campaign Management solution. Might be worth checking out for this.
When I was a consultant, we either rolled our own or used SAS (or a combination of the two).
Another vote for roll your own, it's mad that this area is so under served. The expense of building your own solution from the ground up, and the hassle of managing a remote team makes me think you may get further by integrating some existing tools.
Google Analytics for web usage has an API, there are many web log tools, you then need to bolt in the customer figures from your end of things.
I really doubt you could do much better than SAS in this area. Especially if you pick up some of thier specialist packages.
You could have a look at R which is a pretty slick open source statistics package. Unfortunately its not used very much for marketing; most of the examples and freely available code is geared towards biochemistry, genetics etc.
