Microsoft Dynamics GP: A smart move for your growing business
You’ve worked hard to build your business, and your Intuit QuickBooks solution has given you
the tools you’ve needed for accounting and basic business management. As you continue to grow,
so do your needs for a solution that can keep pace with change. Moving to a new business management system might seem overwhelming, given all the challenges you face every day. But Microsoft simplifies the process with Microsoft Dynamics™ GP, a solution designed to get you up and running quickly, grow alongside your business, and fit with your budget.

Just as QuickBooks is a leading software provider for small business accounting, Microsoft
Dynamics is a market leader for midsize businesses. For more than 23 years, Microsoft Dynamics solutions have delivered the functionality, performance, and ease of use that power more than 290,000 businesses around the world. As part of this product family, Microsoft Dynamics GP helps organizations manage business growth and change with a solution that includes:

• More than twice the built-in functionality than QuickBooks Enterprise1
• Sophisticated reporting and decision-making tools, integrated with the Microsoft® Office system
• A technology foundation designed to handle the workload, user counts, and security
requirements of mid-size organizations

For companies moving from QuickBooks, we offer a proven process, refined by many QuickBooks customers who have made the change to Microsoft Dynamics GP. When you choose Microsoft Dynamics GP, you can focus on growing your business, rather than on the technology supporting it. Everything you need—your operating system, database, personal productivity tools, e-mail, and business management system—comes from one trusted partner, Microsoft. By delivering a cohesive solution that helps lower implementation and long-term ownership costs, Microsoft Dynamics GP frees you to harness the power and flexibility of an award-winning business management solution.

When you pair up Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can make business information, reports, and documents available for productive collaboration among your employees or with customers and trading partners. What's more, you can use the capabilities of the two solutions to increase the productivity and consistency of business processes, boost the value and usefulness of information, and enable managers and workers to make more sound decisions. Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 and Office SharePoint Server 2007 facilitate flexible, easily implemented workflows; advanced search, and collaborative business intelligence for best results.

Enable employees, partners, and customers to locate and exchange information and collaborate effectively
Using Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 and Office SharePoint Server 2007 together can help you remove most of the limitations imposed by geographic location, organizational boundaries, and segmented storage of business documents and information.

• Provide stakeholders with security-enabled intranet and extranet access. Give your employees, customers, partners, and anyone who needs access to business documents and information, highly secure access to your company's intranet and extranet. You can provide personalized portals based on the needs of business roles. Your employees can collaborate on business planning and decision-making, and engage efficiently with partners and customers. Those partners and customers can take care of business on their own as you enable them to do so, from any location and at any time. You can offer all documents and reports, including Microsoft Office Excel 2007 spreadsheets, in centralized worksites that are accessible from a browser, while maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of information.

• Find pertinent information easily with advanced search capabilities. Workers can rapidly find the most relevant information and files. Conveniently, you can initiate a search from wherever you find yourself: Microsoft Dynamics GP, Office SharePoint Server 2007, or the Desktop Search function. With the advanced search functionality of Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can search and retrieve not only Microsoft Dynamics GP data, but also data from Microsoft Office Word 2007 documents, Office Excel 2007 spreadsheets, and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 e-mail messages, as well as other types of documents, by using the Business Data Catalog in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

Automate consistent, efficient business processes
By automating key business processes and critical daily tasks in structured workflows enabled by Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can ensure that the right people make the right action at the best time. You can accelerate the pace at which your business is moving forward and allow your employees to focus on the most critical tasks.

• Streamline frequent, important processes. When you implement Microsoft Dynamics GP and Office SharePoint Server 2007 together, you can take advantage of six pre-formatted workflows for business process automation:

• General Ledger Batch Approval

• Receivables Management Batch Approval

• Payables Management Batch Approval

• Credit Limit Override Approval in Sales Order Processing Entry

• Sales Quote Approval

• Purchase Order Approval

• Ensure completion of important tasks. Many authorized Microsoft Dynamics GP resellers can help you plan, create, and implement additional workflows. Workflows can take participants step-by-step through the processes and tasks that are critical in your business. You decide what the organization needs, and workflows can adapt to your goals.

• Promote accountability. Workflow functionality incorporates an audit trail of task ownership and helps workers achieve consistency. Statistics can also be tracked to further streamline your organization through comparing approval times by approver and other measures.

Enable sound, fast decision-making with efficient reporting
Together, Microsoft Dynamics GP and Office SharePoint Server 2007 provide people inside and outside of the organization with reports and information they need. You can make the most effective use of reports created and maintained in Office Excel or SQL Server Reporting Services, or go beyond that, using other tools to enable you to steer your business in the right direction.

• Access current, complete information. Workers can access refreshable spreadsheets that eliminate static data issues and always guarantee one definitive version. With the power of Microsoft Office Excel, users can create charts and graphs to give key decision-makers the information they need in the format they like, whenever they want it.

• View reports from any location. Provide direct access to reports without the need to log on to your network, through the Office SharePoint Server Reports Library. Employees and stakeholders can work with refreshable Microsoft Office Excel reports even without Office Excel loaded on their desktops or laptops.

• Manage business performance and strategic planning. Using Microsoft Dynamics GP and Office SharePoint Server 2007 together lets you offer portals and information tailored to business roles. In addition, you can create executive dashboards to display critical financial or other information along with related reports and documentation to ease and accelerate decision-making, planning, and compliance efforts.
