Success Stories
With Lawson, we were spending a lot of money on software upgrades, installation, and consulting when Dynamics GP offered more flexibility with the same features and functions, and can scale with our business as we grow
“We converted from Lawson to Microsoft Dynamics™ GP. Dynamics GP required less resources and had an affordable price tag. With Lawson, we were spending a lot of money on software upgrades, installation, and consulting when Dynamics GP offered more flexibility with the same features and functions, and can scale with our business as we grow to our projected two year growth of $70 M. With Dynamics GP as our financial solution, it’s much easier to stay current with the latest technology and be consistent among platforms.”
Sharon Tsao, Chief Financial Officer at Contemporary Staffing Solutions
Background
Contemporary Staffing Solutions (CSS) wanted a back-office solution that was flexible and could grow with their business. Scalability was a big factor in the decision, CSS had seen many software conversions and wanted a solution that could handle a capacity double or triple their current size. Equally important, the solution should create a centralized system for their operations and efficiently automate their payroll input process, customized billing of clients, and advanced reporting technology.
