Top 10 Reasons to Buy or Upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics SL 6.5

Built to help you better manage bank accounts and process more efficiently, Microsoft Dynamics SL 6.5, empowers your employees, managers, customers, and vendors. Microsoft Dynamics SL helps increase effectiveness by providing the tools people need to view and process data based on the permissions that you have established.

1) Automate the Procurement Process

Automate the procurement process with a flexible request, bidding and approval system. The addition of a powerful new Purchase Requisitions module streamlines the process of submitting and approving requests, saving your company time and money.

2) Manage Bank Accounts Effectively

The new Bank Reconciliation module allows financial staff members to quickly and easily reconcile your company bank statements. This module complements the full suite of financial applications available with Microsoft Dynamics SL to meet your account management needs—from the simple to the complex.

3) Access Information More Easily

Provide access to Microsoft Dynamics SL Business Portal from an Internet connection—without requiring a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Giving your employees the flexibility to update records, while they are away from the office, makes it easier to meet your company’s business demands with a mobile workforce.

4) Maintain Security and Efficiency

The enhanced functionality in the Application Server module gives you the ability to schedule reports to run as frequently as needed—even to the minute. Security has been enhanced allowing you to provide only specific individuals in the organization with access to the Application Server computer without interrupting the production and completion of submitted requests.

5) Address More Operational Requirements

Daily operations benefit from the strong job costing and project accounting functionality with integrated budgeting, billing, revenue recognition, profitability analysis, time and expense entry, and Web-based access to many of the functions needed by project-driven businesses. And, significant labor costing automation within the Distribution feature set makes staff more efficient. The outcome is an integrated business information system.

6) Flexibility to customize and configure the solution to meet your needs, using standard Microsoft tools.

Designed to help you build for change and growth, Microsoft Dynamics SL provides you with the tools you need to tailor reporting processes and functionality to meet the specific process needs of your company. Rapid deployment and cost-effective configurations help provide uninterrupted productivity, agility, and reduced cost of ownership.

7) Strong Multi-company accounting capabilities.

For companies with multiple divisions or those that have grown through acquisition, multi-company accounting with the automatic generation of inter-company transactions and centralized cash processing is a must. Microsoft Dynamics SL addresses this need for processing transactions and reporting across the enterprise.

8) The right reports and flexibility of reporting to meet your business needs

Powerful reporting tools let you integrate data from multiple sources, and then sort, analyze, and present information to meet specific needs of your company and its people, as well as export and distribute reports to many formats and other applications, including Microsoft Office Excel.

9) Provide project managers and other stakeholders with a central, portal-based desktop

Access via Web-browser the project information needed to get a complete picture of project financials and profits, and to perform timecard and expense report entry, to manage documents and more. If Microsoft Office Project is deployed, all Microsoft Project Web Access functionality is available in the same browser portal, as well.

10) Support Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft Visual Studio® 8.0

Stay current with the latest Microsoft releases of these products, and leverage their benefits to ensure your system is secure and easy to maintain.
