Companies often grapple with the difficult decision of transitioning from a trusted and familiar software solution to an innovative one. With core operational systems like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and accounting, the decision can be agonizing. For example, Dynamics SL has long been a reliable platform for project accounting, but Acumatica can deliver additional functionality and ease of use benefits that make switching worthwhile. With its innovative tools and superior capabilities, Acumatica offers several advantages that make it worth the migration.
With that in mind, here are the top three reasons to migrate from Dynamics SL to Acumatica:
Reason #1 – Usability and Mobility
Dynamics SL does offer users some access to the system from their web apps, with features such as timecards, expense reports and approvals. However, this still requires a separate install and interface. Acumatica offers a much more convenient user experience—allowing users to access the entire system anytime, anywhere, on any device with the same user interface. In addition, the customization of Acumatica is much simpler than Dynamics SL’s Web Apps.
Reason #2 – Effective Communication
Acumatica enables users to communicate efficiently with clients from within the application. With the Acumatica Customer Portal, users can keep a copy of all communications and invoices sent to a client. This way, other individuals in the organization know when it was sent and who received it. Further, this portal allows clients to review invoices, support cases, and more. They do not offer this feature in Dynamics SL.
Reason #3: Superior Workflow and Approval
The switch from Dynamics SL to Acumatica can bring many benefits, especially regarding workflow and approval. With Acumatica, users get access to both time and expense-tracking software and support for project change orders, inventory item requests, and requisitions. Further, Acumatica provides multi-level approvals with the ability to add additional criteria, which Dynamics SL does not offer. These features make Acumatica an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their accounting needs.
