Can Your ERP System Handle Change?

Monday, October 31st, 2011

Change is inevitable, especially in the business and technology worlds. A survey done by Technology Evaluation Centers shows 76% of senior managers dissatisfied with enterprise software change capabilities.This study shows that companies are working with systems that don’t scale to today’s business needs. If companies aren’t able to easily change or adapt to new market trends, then it opens them up to significant risks. P.J. Jakovljevic, Principal Analyst at TEC says, “The lack of flexibility in systems to support business change is paralyzing some companies and cannot be underestimated”.

How does your ERP solution scale to your business needs? Is it easy to make changes? Or do you end up implementing new manual processes that manipulate your ERP software to do what you need it to do? If the last statement sounds true, then it may be time to look for a new solution that can handle the change you’re bound to go through.

Microsoft Dynamics® GP is robust business software that scales with you as you grow. It’s a perfect solution for those outgrowing their current accounting software, showing its capability to help businesses take the next steps in growth.

If you’re tired of being one of those senior managers dissatisfied with enterprise software change capabilities and want to learn more about an ERP solution that can handle change, contact us at PANGEA Business Solutions.

Automating your Sales Crew with Microsoft Dynamics CRM

Friday, October 21st, 2011

In this day and age, productivity is a direct result of automation. If your sales crew is focusing on bringing in new leads instead of manually entering or exporting information, then you’re on the right track. If they’re focusing more on the manual tasks at hand, then it is likely the productivity at your company is low.

The key here is to eliminate those manual processes and streamline the overall sales process with CRM software. CRM Software can speed up contact entry as well as sales team tasks. For example, in Microsoft Dynamics® CRM, you can set up reminders to contact a prospect on a certain day or time because it integrates and works hand in hand with Outlook. It keeps the sales team on task, as well as ensures they’re more efficient with their time. If a prospect or customer calls into them, they can also quickly bring up past information that makes the conversation go smoothly and possibly even pushes the close rate a bit higher.

Bottom line is if your sales team is worried or distracted by where all their information is or whether it’s up to date, then they don’t have the capacity to focus their attention on selling. It’s time to automate your sales crew and it’s possible to do that with Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Contact us at PANGEA Business Solutions to learn more.

Uncover More Money and Extra Time with Microsoft Dynamics ERP

Friday, October 14th, 2011

We all secretly wish for money to just magically show up and possible a few extra hours in the day so we can get caught up, but unfortunately the world doesn’t work that way…or does it?

 

Microsoft Dynamics® ERP isn’t exactly magic, but it has its way of increasing cash flow and producing extra time. Let’s take a look at how:

 

  • More Money: Microsoft Dynamics ERP doesn’t produce more money out of thin air, but it does streamline your invoicing to ensure you get bills out on time, making sure you get paid quickly and without the back and forth that sometimes ensues over delayed invoices.
  • More Time: Microsoft Dynamics ERP also doesn’t add one hour to the day, but it does automate processes that were once manual. Employees are astounded at how much time it can save when you don’t have to manually enter orders or cross reference reports for monthly figures. With ERP in place, time savings is a given.

 

So, even though Microsoft Dynamics ERP isn’t magic, it does create two very important benefits for organizations feeling overwhelmed in today’s market. If you would like to learn more about Microsoft Dynamics ERP and how it may be right for you, please contact us at PANGEA.
