A single software system can definitely improve process operations. Multiple ERP Solutions that aren’t integrated throughout your business cause more headache than they save. For example, manual analysis is needed if you have your financial data in one system and your inventory data in another. Somehow, you need to integrate the two in order to achieve true visibility into your business processes.

I think we can all agree that in a perfect world, one ERP solution should do everything your business needs. With a single ERP point of control, the following benefits come true:

1. Elimination of Duplicate Entries
   All your data is located in one system which eliminates the chance of duplicate entries, contributing to data integrity. You no longer have to second guess your systems or double and triple check the manual work you’re so used to doing.
2. Detailed Drilldown Capabilities:
   A single solution extends insight across your business with analysis capabilities that help you gain deep insight into your business performance. Because everything is connected, you’ll be able to drill down into issues and resolve them faster and with more accuracy.
3. Quicker Adaption:
   With one solution across all departments, users are all on the same page. It’s also easier to customize your system to meet your current business needs knowing that you can easily adapt to changing demands by adding functionality, custom applications, and online business capabilities.

Microsoft Dynamics® GP simplifies your business with a single solution that connects financials, manufacturing, supply chain, sales and marketing, project management, human resources, and services information.

Every business has its own terminology. For example, many of us refer to our customers as “customers”. However, professionals tend to refer to them as “clients”, while conference organizers refer to them as “participants” or “attendees”. The list goes on.  As you would expect, products targeted towards a specific industry will use the appropriate industry specific terminology throughout their product. Products targeted towards many different types of businesses will use more generic terminology throughout their product.  This makes sense – right?

As you would expect, products targeted towards a specific industry will use the appropriate industry specific terminology throughout their product. Products targeted towards many different types of businesses will use more generic terminology throughout their product.  This makes sense – right?

The problem is that many people fall into the trap of concluding that just because a product contains their particular terminology, that it must be ideally suited for their needs. I can assure you, it takes a quantum leap jump to reach this conclusion. Avoid being lured in by a product’s industry specific terminology. Instead, look past the terminology for specific features, functionality, and modules.

The benefits of Microsoft Dynamics® GP are clear, no matter what terminology you’re familiar with:

• Microsoft Dynamics GP’s Integration with familiar products, such as Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Excel makes for a streamlined work flow and is a top feature of the product.
• Microsoft Dynamics GP provides functionality to help you compare budgets, forecasts, and plans to actual performance. It also gives you the ability to update budgets and plans on the basis of new data and analyses to help your business stay competitive.
• There are oodles of Modules within Microsoft Dynamics GP . For example, Receivables Management in Microsoft Dynamics GP helps you maintain tight control over Accounts Receivables by providing the capabilities to help you track invoices, process receipts, and analyze customer activity.

REDMOND, Wash. — March 18, 2010 — Microsoft Corp. today announced that Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift Europe BV (MCFE), a leading forklift manufacturer based in the Netherlands, received the Gartner CRM Excellence Award in the category of Efficiency for its customer relationship management (CRM) project. Through this awards program, Gartner Inc. and 1to1 Media recognize companies that are doing an exceptional job at bringing together vision, strategy, customer experience, organizational collaboration, process, IT and metrics to create value for the customer and the enterprise.

MCFE, a company that manufactures, sells and distributes forklifts and related spare parts, was able to streamline order entry and processing, IT support requests, and dealer communications. This resulted in the company reducing the time for it to customize business applications from 35 to 10 days, saving development costs by 60 percent and improving order processing from five minutes to 90 seconds.

“Businesses need to deliver essential line-of-business applications more quickly and at a lower cost,” said Brad Wilson, general manager of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. “We are honored that MCFE is recognized by Gartner and 1to1 Media for its project. This implementation is just one example of how our customers are unlocking new value from their existing Microsoft investments and delivering business solutions that are easy to design, easy to manage, and, for their users, easy to use.”

In addition to MCFE, a broad range of companies around the world are using xRM, the flexible application development framework of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, to accelerate the development and deployment of high-impact business applications — whether on the premises or in the cloud via Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online.
