1 million AP Transactions? No Problem! 

 

Transaction VolumeAt CAL Business Solutions we have a customer that processes 100,000 payables transactions a month - that is over 1 million a year! And it is no problem for their Microsoft Dynamics GP accounting system to keep up with the volume. Can your accounting software do that?

 

When researching financial management systems, transaction processing speed and system scalability are important criteria. You need to know your new system will be able to easily handle existing transaction loads, and manage significant increases as your business grows. 

 

Now it gets even better!  Download this new Performance Benchmark White Paper to learn how Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 showed an 18% increase in performance through upgrading from SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition to SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition

50% Discount to Switch From Sage MAS90/200

 

This is honestly one of the largest discounts I have ever seen Microsoft offer.  New customers migrating from Sage MAS90/200 to Microsoft Dynamics GP can receive up to a 50% discount on Advanced Management (AM) or Business Essential (BE) users.  As if that was not enough, you can receive a service rebate (cash back) of up to a 25% discount of the software list price to apply towards implementation costs and/or services. This promotion expires December 18, 2009. More Promotions

 

So if you are using Mas90 or Mas200 but are not 100% happy, now is the time to check out Microsoft Dynamics GP as an option.  Click here to read a nice comparison of Dynamics GP vs Sage products.

Trivia Tidbits 

 

What is the oldest profession?

 

"Some of the earliest known writing discovered by archaeologists has, when translated, been found to be records of tax accounting. Such writings have been found on clay tablets from Egypt and Mesopotamia from as early as 2000 to 3300 B.C."
