Watkins relies on the Microsoft Dynamics ERP system to provide a solid foundation for efficient operations. “Automation is one of the biggest things Microsoft Dynamics GP provides for us,” says Watkins. “If we were on a paper-based system, we literally couldn’t keep up with the people we have.”

Watkins and his staff of 13 enjoy the time-saving benefits of Microsoft Dynamics GP’s role-based interface. “We have everybody set up on the roles-based system and we all use our customized home pages to help save time and streamline processes.”

Another critical process for Community Mental Health is managing their cash flow. “We use the Cash Flow Management module to understand where we are from a cash-flow standpoint on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis,” says Watkins. “I appreciate the solid framework Microsoft Dynamics GP provides for internal controls. Obviously, you can choose not to take advantage of those, but we certainly do.”

Ensuring the financial health of his organization is a top priority for Watkins. “I’m most proud of the good we do for the community,” says Watkins, “especially the underprivileged people we reach out to who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford our services.”

Being driven to provide excellent service is a quality Watkins appreciates in business partners. “Arctic Information Technology is truly a partner to us,” says Watkins. “I’ve worked with many IT consultancies around the country throughout my career. I find Arctic IT to be one of the most responsive I’ve ever worked with.”

Anchorage Community Mental Health Services (http://www.acmhs.com/) has helped people in Anchorage, Alaska, and surrounding communities discover new beginnings in their lives for over 30 years. A client of Arctic Information Technology, they have used Microsoft Dynamics GP for several years.

Microsoft Dynamics GP allows a user to define an unlimited number of landed cost elements based on the extended value of the item, such as Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF) and Duty percentages, then mix and match these elements to reflect the group of landed costs which should be associated with each item.  It also allows the user to identify flat fee and fee per unit based elements.

During the purchasing and receiving activities those default landed costs flow through automatically, reducing the need for manual input.  Within the Receiving Transactions Entry window, the user can edit the line item landed costs if needed as well as enter the receipt level landed costs (e.g. freight) which are more appropriately handled as a total against the entire receipt.  These receipt level landed costs are easily pro-rated across the line items using Weight, Value or Quantity.  By using the combination of line item specific landed costs and transaction level landed costs, the user is able to accurately represent the true cost of an item as it moves into inventory.

These landed costs are associated with the receipt transaction and are subject to the Enter/Match Invoices activity.  This ensures both good accounting practices and accurate inventory costing via the Revalue Inventory mechanism which can be enabled on the items and landed cost elements.

Whether you are a distributor or manufacturer for medical devices or any other industry,  I hope you find this information helpful. If you are searching for one ERP suite that addresses all areas of business, contact Interdyn-Remington.

This is where the second infographic of which you see the thumbnail below comes in. It makes it easy to see which à la carte modules are available for use with Business Essentials, Advanced Management or both editions of Microsoft Dynamics GP. Clicking this thumbnail will take you to a new page where you can view or download the full-size PDF version of this infographic.

A “Partner -Hosted” solution is either an independent software vendor (ISV), system integrator (IS) or a Value- Added Reseller (VAR) that offers hosted cloud solutions through a licensing partnership with Microsoft . A “Microsoft Hosted/Azure” environment is an internet cloud service hosted directly in Microsoft data centres.

The advantage of a “Partner-Hosted” solution is that you are actually working with people who not only have expertise in hosting software, but also possess a deep understanding of the Dynamics GP system. Some people find that it’s very important to build a trusting relationship before they do business; finding a Microsoft Dynamics partner who not only provides hosting solutions, but is Certified as well can reduce cost and provide for a better solution in the long run.

When using Microsoft hosted/Azure environment there’s a fixed cost and little to no room for negotiation, if price is very important to a client then going with a partner would be a better solution. Companies that are in Canada might not like the idea of having their data hosted on an Azure environment because it’s US based. It’s important to many Canadian companies to keep their data in Canada.

In future blogs I will be talking more about a partner hosted solutions and how beneficial it can be to you.

That is why we at Intelligent Technologies Inc. decided to develop a set of two infographics that would clearly show prospective customers how the capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics Business Essentials and Advanced Management editions differ. If you’re unfamiliar with the term infographic, it simply refers to a graphical representation of information that if just shown in plain text would be difficult to follow.

What you see below is a thumbnail of the first of these infographics, it gives an easy to follow representation of which modules are included with each edition of Dynamics GP. Clicking the thumbnail will open up a new window which will allow you to view or download the full-size PDF version of the infographic.

Our aim with this infographic is to give perspective Microsoft Dynamics GP customers a document that they can refer to and at a glance easily see which edition of the software best fits their needs. We hope you find it helpful. Stay tuned for the second post in this series that will be published later this month. It will include an infographic that can help you decipher which à la carte modules are compatible with each edition of Dynamics GP. In the meantime, if you have any questions, or would like to learn more about Microsoft Dynamics GP and what it can do for your business, contact Intelligent Technologiestoday!
