Nonprofit organizations have to manage expenses and provide quality services. In this aspect, they face the same pressures as for-profit businesses. However, nonprofits face intense scrutiny from boards, constituents, other nonprofits, and government and social service agencies.

 A comprehensive solution like Microsoft Dynamics can provide nonprofit organizations with the capability to automate administration and processes, and help reduce expenses. Through the end of the year, Microsoft has a special offer for nonprofit organizations.

 The Microsoft Dynamics Advantage

With Microsoft Dynamics, you get dynamic, comprehensive functionality designed to give you real-time information on how your business is performing. This not only includes financial and accounting information, but information from other areas of your business.

Microsoft Dynamics ERP solutions include:

• Microsoft Dynamics GP – accounting, service management, grant and fund management and customer relationship management
• Microsoft Dynamics AX – accounting, resource planning and logistics
• Microsoft Dynamics SL – accounting, managing tasks and estimating costs

 Because all the functionality is based on the Microsoft Office interface, your employees will be familiar with how Microsoft Dynamics works from the start. There less of a learning curve and you’ll gain this solution’s benefits sooner.

According to Microsoft, the benefits of Microsoft Dynamics can include:

• Managing business events as well as maintaining education and certification records.
• Maintaining detailed reporting practices, essential for meeting regulatory compliance and securing future funding.

Microsoft Offer for Nonprofit Organizations

Through December 23, 2009, qualified nonprofit organizations will receive two concurrent users at no additional license cost with the purchase of one ERP Foundation Pack license. Additional conditions may be required. The offer is available only through an authorized reseller like NetStandard.

For small and medium businesses, supplying goods and services to the government can be lucrative. However, the money isn’t easy. Becoming a government contractor takes time and involves many steps just to qualify to make bids.

Because the public sector is different from the private, if you decide to pursue this business, make sure that your business software can handle the demands. You must manage financials, proposals, projects and account management. Separate systems for each function may hinder your success in this market.  Integrating these separate systems can increase the complexity.

Microsoft Offer for Contracting Businesses

For small businesses that are government contractors, or businesses that are just entering this space, Microsoft is offering a special promotion for Microsoft Dynamics SL. Through March 10, 2010, Microsoft is offering up to a 20% discount for new customers that are registered in the Central Contractor Registration database or whose businesses are in these Standard Industrial Classification codes:

• 73xx: Business services not classified elsewhere (including, advertising, equipment rental, computer services and business services)
• 87xx: Engineering, accounting, research, management, and related services
• 89xx: Services not classified elsewhere

Microsoft Dynamics SL – Combining Project Management, Accounting

Microsoft Dynamics SL combines project management and accounting functions in a single solution, which helps project-driven organizations obtain reports and business analysis. Designed for such businesses as professional services, operations, field services and construction management, Microsoft Dynamics SL allows businesses to automate and streamline projects across divisions and locations.
