Since the 1970s, Microsoft has been a prominent name in the technology industry, providing consumers and businesses alike with revolutionary computer hardware and software products. The Dynamics ERP applications are designed to improve organizations’ business processes by connecting the supply chain and automating non-value-added business tasks, among other functions. While Microsoft’s offerings are useful and versatile, the Dynamics ERP only has a small collection of key AP processing solutions. As a result, its users often encounter gaps in the system’s processing abilities, preventing a fully holistic automated AP lifecycle.

PayStream Advisors’ 2014 P2P for Microsoft Dynamics report explores the landscape of AP and financial applications as seen by MS/Dynamics and other ERP users. Results from a survey of financial professionals across several industries reveal market trends in the use of AP automation by users of different ERPs, as well as the major pains for Dynamics users compared to those of non-Dynamics users. In addition, this research shows how today’s cloud-based financial software compares with Microsoft Dynamics’ native applications. This report also includes best practices for companies wishing to leverage third-party solutions with their MS/Dynamics ERP.
