There is no doubt that Microsoft Dynamics has been profitable and looks promising for the future. Microsoft is committed to its business applications and has no plans to sell the Dynamics unit. What it does hope to sell, however, are great business products that continue to evolve as the Dynamics unit matures. That includes its progression into the cloud and several other exciting ventures. For Microsoft, its partners, and its customers, this is not a time to be dreading a rumored collapse, but to be excited about a promising future.

3. Smooth Warehouse Workflow with Advanced Distribution

As with all capital purchases, you are going to hear a lot on the features and functionality of the system and how it will help meet and exceed your needs. The sales team will indicate that their system will invariably be the right one to lead you into the future. All this information will be given and you will be wondering the age old question of “How much is this going to cost?” When you are finally given a number, it will be broken into many pieces: Software, Hardware, Implementation, Training, Customizations, Maintenance, Managed Services and so on. Ideally the ground work will have been laid properly and no one suffers the dreaded sticker shock.

At this point in the process, you don’t want to be deciding if you can afford the system based on price. Trying to fit a system into a budget will cause more problems. I don’t mean to suggest you shouldn’t negotiate, you should, but not at the expense of features or services. It will cost you a lot more in the long run if you do not do the implementation properly from the start. As with any large purchase, taking the time up front to do some research will provide you the luxury to base your decision on business value rather than price. The research up front should be around the return on investment of the project. There are plenty of ROI tools available on the internet, my favorite is an Alinean tool. When looking at ROI, do some digging outside of the standard areas of personnel, time saving and hardware costs. Your business partner can help you identify some additional areas of ROI that you may have overlooked.
When done properly, the ROI on a project can help you make the go/no-go decision properly and leave you feeling better about your choice.

As a company changes, whether it is due to growth, maturation or a change in business direction, there comes a time when a new accounting software system to run the business is needed.  Quite often, it is determined that a full-fledged ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system is what is required.  As with most business decisions,  the choice of an ERP should not come lightly or quickly, but rather through a thorough and complete ERP software selection process.   Too often choices are made for the wrong or improper reason and the implementation of the ERP fails.   We’ll more than likely get into reasons for failures in later blogs,  but for now keep in mind that the two biggest reasons are the wrong fit and an underestimation of the task ahead.   When the ERP is chosen properly and expectations are set appropriately, a successful implementation does happen.

Microsoft Dynamics GP is not necessarily software for every company (although with the assorted ISV’s more options for fit are available than your average ERP) and your buying decision should be made based on your needs.  Every vendor wants to achieve sales, but the vendor that focuses on fit first allow for success.   In future blogs, I’ll be covering areas of frustration with sales, implementations, daily use and upgrades that companies may experience and hopefully relay how these frustrations were alleviated.
