whitepaper When Is It Time to Move Away From Spreadsheets?2009-06-01 VISCO
  When importers are first starting out, the most critical thing is selling product and getting it for a good price. When they are only moving a container or two a month, keeping track of their warehouse and/or in transit inventory is fairly simple. A few spreadsheets will do the trick and take very little set up time or training to get started. As long as the importer is using QuickBooks or a similar accounting application, these are generally all the tools that are required to operate.

whitepaper ERP Solution Gives Engineering Firm Strategic Insight Into Project Costs and Profits2009-06-01 Microsoft
  Founded in 1979, David Evans and Associates provides engineering, design, and construction management services for large commercial, residential, and public sector building projects. For years, the company used separate systems for project management and accounting. The lack of integration among its various systems required employees to manually reconcile account information, which extended monthly close times and made it impossible to gain real-time insight into the company's profitability. As David Evans expanded into new markets, executives recognized the need for a fully integrated enterprise resource planning system. After a thorough evaluation process, company leaders selected Microsoft Dynamics SL based largely on its renowned flexibility and ease of use. Now, the company has an integrated view of operations and benefits from improved profitability and increased productivity.

whitepaper Why Now May Be Time to Move From MAS 90/200 to Microsoft Dynamics GP2009-06-01 Microsoft
  Companies change ERP systems because they are dissatisfied with their current system, or they understand that its limitations are hampering the effective, efficient operation of the business. They want a replacement system that better suits the company's needs, and their perception of what that might be is greatly influenced by the specific limitations they have encountered in the existing system. These limitations might be functional - applications that are not available or that fall short of what the company needs to support business needs, for example. The dissatisfaction with their incumbent system may be technological; they may be experiencing poor response times or frequent lock-ups or crashes, and the system cannot be expanded gracefully.
