We’ve boiled it down to 5 key indicators that Dynamics GP is the right choice:
- You’re ready to take the next step away from your entry level accounting system– Entry level systems, like Quickbooks, are great for new and growing businesses, but they aren’t designed to support that growth past a certain point. Dynamics GP is! It is a great next solution for organizations that have maximized the capabilities of their accounting system and need flexibility as they continue to grow. With set implementation packages, it easy to get up and running quickly and affordably on a system that will see you through the life of your business.
- You need support for ongoing, long-term growth– Dynamics GP is an ideal solution for growing businesses because it is flexible and scalable, especially when deployed in the cloud or a hosted environment. In addition, the solution itself is constantly being enhanced and developed, meaning that the system is growing along with you.
- You need to manage multiple companies or entities easily– One of the areas where Dynamics GP shines is the ease with which you can handle multiple companies, multiple entities, multiple general ledgers, and still have confidence that your intercompany transactions will take place accurately and efficiently. This is a capability which entry-level systems lack and other ERP solutions can make overly complex.
- You don’t need support for manufacturing processes beyond kitting or light assembly– If your organization needs advanced manufacturing capabilities, then Dynamics GP might not be the right fit for your business. However, if you are a distributor or other organization that provides light assembly or kitting, Dynamics GP can provide for your back-office needs while helping you manage your operations.
- You want your payroll managed from within your financial system– There are tremendous benefits to keeping all of your financial data in a single, secure system. GP provides a complete, top notch payroll solution within the same system that your people will already know and use.
