Flexible, Predictable and Affordable Solutions from Microsoft Dynamics

This past week, Microsoft announced a new flexible payment option called “Business Ready Flexible Pay”.  In a nutshell, it is designed to help businesses who know they want to make the move to Dynamics GP but have concerns about cash flow. Instead of paying for the software in one lump sum up front, Microsoft is going to allow you to pay for it in 3 installments, over the course of the next three years, with no interest! This is not a financing option. At the end of the three years, you will own your software outright, so it is not a lease. The caveats are that it does not include the services associated with the implementation, such as installation and training and the software cost must be in excess of $30,000. regardless, this is a great opportunity for companies looking to make the move - we were very excited about this new option.

Many, many, many other data transfers are accomplished daily, but they are often manual, infrequent or one-time. Take your bank account for example: is it automatically connected to your bookkeeping system? Or do you create a download from the bank that you then import into your system? Or do you just manually update? (more…)
