Benefits of an Integrated Solution

A few examples of the benefits of using an integrated approach:

• Dissemination of valuable information across your whole organisation – safely, securely cheaply and easily. Possible because the Business Portal Intranet which comes with Dynamics utilises the powerful technology components of SharePoint Services and Active Directory Services included within Windows Server 2003.



• Superior, confident decision-making based on fact. Possible because of close integration between Dynamics and SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services / Excel 2007. Charting and reporting enable users to easily unlock trends / exceptions / KPIs and more from the huge amount of data held in the Dynamics ERP and CRM databases.



• Automation of complex business processes, enabled by seamless integration between Dynamics and Office SharePoint Server 2007 plus Windows Workflow Engine. For example, an approval workflow can easily be created so documents are routed automatically and approved electronically and then fed back to Dynamics ERP – dramatically improving efficiency, reducing errors, speeding up reporting and eliminating paper.



• Efficient Resource Management enabled by integration between Project Server 2007, Dynamics Project Accounting and Exchange Server 2007, eg Timesheets, Budgets or Expense may be entered in any of the following applications: Outlook Calendar, Project Server or Dynamics GP.
