Increase productivity with Microsoft Dynamics GP, Office SharePoint Server

Increase productivity with Microsoft Dynamics GP,
Office SharePoint Server
Make business information, reports, and documents available for productive collaboration


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.

INTEGRATING MICROSOFT DYNAMICS CRM WITH SIEBEL DEPLOYMENTS

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is designed for high user adoption, engineered for rapidly changing business needs, and optimized for IT constrained environments. It is enterprise CRM that works the way you do, works the way business does, and works the way technology should. Companies that have already invested heavily in other CRM systems such as Siebel can act now to rapidly realize the benefits of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, without waiting for a full-scale reimplementation. Underlying CRM installations can be migrated over time with minimal disruption to the business.


Since the mid-1990s, businesses, government and other large organizations have poured billions of dollars into implementing customer management systems, such as Siebel, in hopes of achieving a 360 view of the customer, and driving profits through stronger customer relationships. These efforts, however, have met with varying degrees of success; and most notably, with poor user adoption. Many customers also found that the systems were difficult to deploy, and once deployed, were difficult to adapt as business needs changed. For many organizations, the lack of flexibility has caused change request queues to extend beyond 6 months, straining IT resources and business-IT relations. Microsoft has focused on designing a CRM system for high user adoption with seamless integration to familiar and easy to use Microsoft software. Microsoft® Dynamics™ CRM takes advantage of Microsoft Office to maximize ease of use and the Microsoft platform to maximize flexibility and adaptability.



Microsoft Dynamics CRM offers benefits for:


  • Users: a familiar user experience embedded in Microsoft Office Outlook.


  • Business Analysts: a UI-based mechanism to quickly make changes to the application to fit business needs.


  • IT: a modern Web services based architecture that enables integration with other applications.


Companies that have made significant investments in other CRM systems such as Siebel can rapidly realize the benefits of Microsoft Dynamics CRM without waiting for a full-scale reimplementation. This can be achieved using a federated deployment model to synchronize needed information between Microsoft Dynamics CRM deployed at a divisional or regional level, and the existing Siebel system. Underlying CRM installations can be migrated over time with minimal disruption to the business.

The event explores why organizations are integrating their EDI operations with Microsoft Dynamics GP using outsourced B2Bi instead of traditional software deployments.

These organizations know EDI, but also knew the detailed workings of Dynamics GP, making our integration one that fit our timeline and delivered the efficiency we needed.”

Webcast attendees will hear answers to these questions and more:
• Why have outsourced B2Bi and EDI become so popular?
• What are the different types of outsourced B2Bi solutions?
• What are the requirements a B2Bi solution should address?
• What are the keys to making a B2Bi project a success?
• How does the SaaS model work with an existing Dynamics GP solution?

Featured speakers for the Hosted EDI for Dynamics GP webcast include:
· David Novak, Executive Vice President at EDI outsourcing leader SPS Commerce
· John Hendrickson, CEO at Interdyn Business Microvar, a Gold Certified Microsoft Partner that designed the integration between SPS Commerce and Dynamics GP

iMIS 15

Brilliant design is most often in the hands of the users themselves. ASI listened to what you told them, and built a system based on the feedback and input of thousands of non-profit executives and non-profit professionals that have used a variety of relationship management systems throughout their careers.

ASI devised a system that allows organizations to manage their customer relationships across all functional areas, by building feature-rich applications that allow you to create, organize, and manage all the various data that is associated with each of your constituents. Taking data management one step further, our applications also let you create, organize and manage all of the services and offerings that you provide to each constituent. In short, you can create your ideal application yourself and make it do what you need it to so that it fits your rules rather than you fitting into its rules.

While iMIS 15 applications include traditional modules such as events management, membership management, and order processing, we've also designed modules to improve your organization's efficiency and efficacy so that we can meet and support your growing demands. Our customers have told us that it is no longer sufficient to just provide good programming, education and representation - factors such as speed to market and agility now play into whether a non-profit organization is considered successful. We know that relevancy is the key measure of value for today's non-profit organization. If you cannot gain and keep mindshare of your constituents, your risk of relevancy and longevity dramatically decrease. We took this to heart, and built iMIS 15 around the idea that a special relationship exists between the non-profit organization and the individual constituent. This relationship must be nurtured and managed in a way that fits the organization's business requirements, but still meets the preferences of the constituent. We set out to build a system that would reduce the total cost of ownership of the organization while maximizing the value of the relationship between the individual and the organization's purpose.

Who Uses iMIS

Who uses iMIS?

For more than 15 years, InterDyn Business Microvar has been serving the non-profit sector. We've seen our community of users grow throughout the years into a thriving user base.

Our users represent many types of organizations within the non-profit sector and many different roles within an organization. They are also a highly motivated group of users - pro-active in providing education and support for each other through the independent not-for-profit organization users group called NiUG.

We are very excited about the continued growth and diversity of the iMIS user base. As iMIS continues to evolve, so does our user base. In fact, with the introduction of iMIS 15, we believe the definition of an iMIS user has broadened to include any constituent with a relationship to one of our customers. By leveraging the self-management capabilites that iMIS provides, everyone who touches a customer's organization is a user of iMIS.

Our focus and committment to the needs of the non-profit sector means that our customers and their constituents are at the core of everything we do - and we look foward to the future of the iMIS community and watching it grow even larger.
