What Is Microsoft Dynamics GP? It's The Accountant's Favorite Software.

Posted by IES on Jan 27, 2015 5:27:00 PM

Accounting is a set of repetitive tasks: Sorting, coding and data entry. The right software with broad functionality can help ease the daily work. Consider the following list of some of the Microsoft Dynamics GP features that accommodate these everyday jobs, avoid common posting errors, and prevent entry in incorrect screens and periods.

  • Vendor set up can include GL posting accounts to expedite invoice entry process. If needed, these accounts can be overridden when entering invoices to be charged to unusual accounts.
  • Inventory item table adjusts inventory when billing customers, thus avoiding timely month-end adjustments.
  • Batch entry aids in posting accuracy because it slows the process and allows for review of transactions. It is difficult to enter 50 or a hundred invoices and never make a typo. Accomplish entry posting of invoices by batch or individually.
  • Security is set for each user, controlling what screens and functions are available to individual users. This eliminates confusion. Control who can set up vendors and GL accounts, eliminating duplicate entries.
  • Open and close periods as required. Control what dates can be used in entry and which periods are available and open. This prevents entering to the wrong period, a familiar error, especially during month and year end. Reopen periods if needed.
  • Set up new records on the fly. Set up a new vendor or a new GL account number without having to close the batch.

Whether you are looking for your first accounting software for a new business or looking to move on to a more powerful software, contact us to learn more about Microsoft Dynamics GP.

Certified Microsoft Gold Partners: An Ideal Marriage When Migrating To Dynamics 2015

Posted by IES on Dec 31, 2014 6:55:00 PM

The digital landscape is alive with the sounds of abbreviated software monikers, from SaaS and AFFS to ERP and CRM platforms; the latter, such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM is touted for its ability to keep salespeople, marketing and customers all engaged in more meaningful interactions. All with more profitable outcomes.

But it’s not uncommon for company decision-makers to question the benefits of CRM software: they may feel it makes sense for larger companies, not necessarily for a small, growing business.

But CRM is not the new-software-on-the-block that’s susceptible to flagging trends. In fact, back in the ‘90s, contact management software began its evolution into the sales force of companies of all sizes.

Today, it is often married with the latest enterprise resource management software as well, such as Microsoft Dynamics ERP, offering a single, database management system to handle business processes and engage customers on a more meaningful basis.

On-premise, or online, Microsoft Dynamics CRM continues to be a workhorse business tool. In fact, the Redmond Giant recently released an updated version for Dynamics 2015. But for thoseSMBs still not ready to turn to the cloud, Microsoft has also completed a major update for its on-premise Dynamics platform (version 7.0)

Dynamics CRM 2015

The enhanced features of this new release is the software’s ability to provide more opportunity for team collaboration, whether in marketing or sales---users can access a visual rendition of sales data within named locales and in real-time.

“Dashboards” take a prominent role in this versions mobility capabilities. The module gathers key data across specified departments to help increase sales productivity.

Great Plains Solutions: Keeping Your System Up To Date

Posted by IES on Dec 16, 2014 6:52:00 PM

Many individuals and business are still using outdated versions of Microsoft Windows. While these products were innovative and worked well for many years and may still appear to, there are many advantages to upgrading to the latest format.

Periodic Product Updates

Although Windows XP was a highly renowned operating system in its day, it was released in 2001. Technology has come a long way in the last 13 years. Recently Microsoft stopped providing security updates and patches for its popular Windows XP operating system. This means that your system will become more vulnerable to hackers and all your personal information and records being compromised. Windows 8.1 is the latest version of Microsoft software. The new version offers superior features that will allow modern computer systems to operate with greater performance and efficiency. Files and information will be secure due to timely updates. Updates can automatically be downloaded and installed or you can schedule the time.

Better Multi Tasking Solutions

Lets face it. Multi tasking is often essential to get the tasks done we need to do. With Windows 8.1 you can have 4 applications showing on the same screen. For the researcher, this can help you to see the big picture a lot clearer.

Searches Made Easier

Windows 8.1 has went above and beyond with improved search capabilities. It can combine search results from multiple engines with video and audio apps. This means you get more comprehensive and easy to navigate search. No more going to multiple search engines before finding what you need.

Support for Emerging Technology

3D printers have become more widely available to the average consumer. Windows 8.1 is on top of the game with providing built in support for 3D printers. No more searching and trying to tweak software so that you can use your printer.

Great Plains Solutions offers great prices and service for all your software needs. We can install your operating system for you and have your computer up to date quickly. Contact us to see what we can do for your computer system.
