As in our recent P2P for Oracle and P2P for SAP reports, in our latest PayStream research release—the 2014 Microsoft Dynamics report—we explore an ERP system and the ways its business applications work and don’t work for today’s back-office procedures. However, compared to SAP and Oracle, we are looking into the functioning of an ERP that has a firmer grip on what its users want—it just can’t always provide those things.

The Microsoft Dynamics ERP is a powerful system and is growing in use among businesses—it is currently being used by 5 percent of the world’s organizations. However, there are still some difficulties with the ERP for its users. Dynamics’ offerings are useful and versatile, but the complexities of the system, like other large ERPs such as SAP and Oracle, can lead to additional processing difficulties. What’s more, Microsoft’s 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, as well as the major pains for Dynamics users compared to those of non-Dynamics users. However, the true value of this release is not only in its revealing research findings—it provides insight into a real solution for professionals who wish to fill in the missing links of their back-office system: today’s cloud-based business process technology.

These cloud platforms are highly configurable, built to adapt to many kinds of businesses and to change to those businesses’ growth and needs quickly. Much of the dilemma of companies using Microsoft Dynamics applications is found in the incomplete setup of its applications suite, but organizations can fulfill their business process needs with the flexibility of newer, leverage-able cloud solutions—while still holding onto the impressive functioning the Dynamics ERP.

This report is essential for company’s struggling with the gaps in their Dynamics ERP. It also includes a profile of a leading solution provider, ReadSoft- a company that offers back-office software  specifically designed to compliment and enhance the Dynamics ERP.
