Business management for project-driven midsize
organizations
 Microsoft
Dynamics SL (formerly Solomon software) is an
ERP accounting software solution specialized
to help project-driven midsize organizations
obtain reports and business analysis, while
helping increase efficiency, accuracy, and customer
satisfaction. By enabling you to automate and
streamline projects across company divisions
and locations, Microsoft Dynamics SL helps you
manage people, projects, and profitability.
With powerful Microsoft Dynamics SL solutions
for professional services, operations, field
services, and construction management, you can
be confident that projects are estimated correctly,
completed on time, and meet your customer's
requirements.
The newest version—Microsoft
Dynamics SL 7.0—extends the reach of business
information with Microsoft SQL Server business
intelligence technology to improve collaboration,
reporting, and analysis. Easier integration
and extensibility of information has also been
enabled by the technology upgrade to Microsoft
Visual Studio 2005. Many other new features
have been added to increase the efficiency,
flexibility, and security of everyday business
operations.

 Modules
to handle your business needs
Microsoft
Dynamics SL consists of modules that integrate
smoothly with one another. Each module delivers
a different feature or application that is an
essential component of the comprehensive business
solution.
When combined
with Microsoft SQL Server technologies, Microsoft
Dynamics SL consolidates data across applications
and platforms. This data can then be extended
into tools such as Microsoft Business Portal.
With this feature, employees can access up-to-the-minute
Web-based reports tailored to the specific information
they need, no matter where they are.
Help people
be more productive across your organization
Microsoft
Dynamics SL enables your people to work more
productively, regardless of their role. Some
examples are shown in the table below:
| Role |
Description |
| Employees |
Employees
can enter requests directly into the system
and managers can approve or reject requests
as they are submitted. Purchasing managers
can use the data to obtain price breaks
on approved purchases, saving your company
both time and money. Item Request Entry
and Item Request Approval are available
through a Web browser using Business Portal. |
| Accounting
staff |
Manage
accounts using a simplified bank statement
reconciliation process that gives business
decision-makers up-to-the-minute knowledge
of their account balances. |
| Information
technology (IT) staff |
Schedule
reports to run as frequently as needed with
enhanced functionality in the Application
Server module. Provide specific individuals
in the organization with access to the Application
Server computer without interrupting the
production and completion of Application
Server requests. |
| Employees,
customers, and vendors |
Simplify
access to information in your Microsoft
Dynamics SL database. You can enter and
approve requests from any location; look
up inventory item availability; and provide
customers and vendors with the access they
need to view specific information within
your system-all from a Web browser. |
Automate and
streamline operations: Integrate project management
and accounting
In
addition to providing applications for financial
management, customer relationship, field service,
supply chain management, and payroll, Microsoft
Dynamics SL helps your employees manage complex
accounting jobs and work projects from a single
interface. Microsoft Dynamics SL creates an
efficient bridge between documents, spreadsheets,
and project accounting transactions; automates
time and material billing processes; and creates
invoices automatically using predetermined business
rules to calculate costs.
For
example, you can create flexible tiered hierarchies
to reflect different labor rates and billing
structures on the project management side. You
can then automatically allocate the appropriate
charges and revenues to the general ledger.

Microsoft Dynamics SL and
Microsoft Office Project work together to help
increase staff utilization, capture costs more
accurately, and strengthen company project portfolios.
Collaborate
better: Manage projects across company divisions
and locations
By
integrating information from different companies
or offices and enabling portal solutions that
help you increase collaboration through a rich,
browser-based interface, Microsoft Dynamics
SL helps ensure projects run smoothly and increase
customer satisfaction.
With
Microsoft Business Portal, you can deliver user-specific
access to information from a single Web-based
portal. Business Portal in Microsoft Dynamics
SL delivers applications, information, and processes
to employees, customers, and partners across
your organization. Deliver project financial
status, task assignments, billing, invoices,
timesheets, expense reports, and other documents
through a Web browser, reducing the time required
to manage these processes and eliminating paperwork
and data re-entry.
