ERP General Question:

Making the decision to change your company's business
management system is a process that requires research and
foresight. Here are four reasons why businesses using SAP
business management software have decided to make the
switch to Microsoft Dynamics.

1) - Microsoft Dynamics can improve employee productivity.
In a 2007 analysis that compared the impact of enterprise
software applications on people's productivity, Microsoft
Dynamics users on average scored Microsoft Dynamics 18
percent higher than SAP users scored SAP applications. This
Microsoft-sponsored study was conducted by Keystone
Strategy, an independent research firm, and was supervised
by Dr. Marco Iansiti, the David Sarnoff Professor of
Business Administration at the Harvard Business School.

2) - Microsoft Dynamics can scale with your business.
Microsoft Dynamics provides affordable scalability for your
growing businesses. With benchmarked performance up to
1,000 users and beyond and rich functionality across
financials, supply chain management, and customer
relationship management, you can be confident in the
ability of Microsoft Dynamics to meet the needs of your
growing business. Integrate your Microsoft Dynamics
business management solution with Microsoft SQL Server to
enjoy enterprise-level reporting, flexible decision-making
support, and timely, relevant business insight at a low
cost with significantly high usability and flexibility.

3) - Microsoft Dynamics provides a low cost of ownership.
Microsoft Dynamics is engineered to cost-effectively
support the changing requirements that are frequently
necessary for customers to adapt, grow, and maintain a
competitive edge in their business. Independent research
has demonstrated that, on the whole, Microsoft Dynamics
offers a higher return on investment (ROI) and lower
overall costs than other major competitive offerings.
Microsoft Dynamics licensing is designed to be cost-
effective. It is based on concurrent users versus named
users and has no imposed user minimum or maximum, so it
evolves with you for the life of your business.

4) - Microsoft offers an industry-leading vertical partner
ecosystem. Microsoft is in a position to deliver vertical
solutions to hundreds of different industries on a local
basis; it can bring these solutions to market on a local
level. Microsoft's Certified for Microsoft Dynamics program
offers solutions designed to meet the needs of specific
industries. It can provide customers with the benefits of a
rich portfolio of tested, reference supported solutions
developed by ISVs that have met Microsoft’s highest
solution and organizational certification standards.
