Yeah, I know…that sounds too good to be true and it's hyperbole. But think about this: The enhancements of integrated ERP software modules in Microsoft Dynamics SL make possible a range of things you may never have dreamed of. Here are three:
- Increase Productivity of Your Staff. Since Dynamics SL integrates with Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Word) and Microsoft SharePoint, your team can increase productivity and you can realize a greater return on your job-project-management-accounting software investment.

Moreover, with Dynamics SL’s Business Portal, employees, partners, and even customers have secure, role-tailored access to up-to-date information in a browser, anytime and anywhere. You and your staff can also deliver project financial status, task assignments, billings, invoices, timesheets, expense reports, and other documents through a browser.This also means your accounting department isn’t pulling their hair out trying to meet a myriad of information requests from the field. In fact, these types of efficiencies led an to conclude “Deployed properly, Dynamics SL can deliver payback in fewer than six months.”
- Make Your Projects/Jobs More Profitable. Using the integrated features of Microsoft Dynamics SL , you can gain control over revenue and expenses, allocate costs with a variety of labor rates, set up multiple billing methods, clearly view your budget details (actuals, revisions), and use this data to fine-tune future bids and improve estimating. This type of information obtained through easy-to-produce reports plus SL’s analysis tools leads to clearer insights that help you increase your margins and know with confidence that you can turn a nice profit on each job.
