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.
