I get this question all the time from prospective Clients who are currently using Simply Accounting or Quickbooks: “We are growing significantly and need a more robust system, but I’m afraid of the complexity of a new system and the costs. How do I know when is the right time to make a move?”
I’ll address this in two parts :
- Ease of Implementation of Dynamics GP
- Feature comparison of Simply Accounting and Dynamics GP
Simplifying the Implementation of Dynamics GP
Dynamics GP is a robust financial management solution. Note that I did not use the term “Accounting system” because it is so much more than that. Dynamics GP has over 700 reports that come with the system, let alone the reports that you can customize on your own with tools such as Smartlist Builder or Report Writer.
Moving from Simply Accounting (or Quickbooks) can be done quite easily and without much time or expense. For example, to implement 5 users on Dynamics GP and convert your information from the legacy accounting software can take as little as a month and cost less than $30,000. If you choose to implement Dynamics GP hosted solutions, a single user can cost as little as $250/month.
The approach to convert Quickbooks or Simply Accounting to Dynamics GP is done using a refined project methodology and the results are reliable and repeatable. This makes your transition to Dynamics GP as painless as possible.
