Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Microsoft Dynamics GP is being used for internal accounting and for client accounting. We act as the outsourced CFO for them. The client module integrates with every accounting CS module seamlessly and allows us minute-by-minute total knowledge of the financial affairs and conditions of the client.

Pros and Cons

Real time accounting between us and the client
Saves all work papers emailed, faxed, or scanned to the client folders for financial statements and taxes on our schedule
No client calls about "the computer made a mistake?'

Easier training on installation and integration
Cost to install - varies widely between the Microsoft Partners

Return on Investment

Excellent ROI
Improved client services
Does help to identify client KPIs quickly

Alternatives Considered

IT ONLY COMPARES WITH ACCOUNTING CS; NOTHING ELSE THAT I'VE TRIED IS EVEN CLOSE

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Dynamics GP must be set up by a trained accountant the first time it is implemented. The old Great Plains was not an easy program for new users and it does have a longer learning curve than other packages.

For medium to larger clients, its great and can be great for newer, fast growing companies.
